Honestly, I would start by looking at an undergraduate physical chemistry book. Chemistry is just applied physics at the smallest non-quantum scale (mostly)
- you get a simplified introduction to statistical mechanics
- you learn about thermodynamics
- introduction to basic concepts like heat, enthapy, entropy
- quantum light effects that explain absorbance, Raman scattering, fluorescence
