* Note for owners of McQuarrie and Simon, Physical Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, University Science, 1997: While I have not gone through and identified page-by-page correspondence, this book also may be a valuable reference tool for the course. It is more formal than Engel, but has somewhat broader coverage.
