World Scientific Series in Contemporary Chemical Physics - Vol. 9

WATER IN BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS
Experimental Overviews and Computational Methodologies

by G W Robinson, S Singh (Texas Tech Univ.), S-B Zhu (Asyst Software, Inc., Fremont, CA) & M W Evans (York Univ., Toronto)

The central theme, which threads through the entire book, concerns computational modeling methods for water. Modeling results for pure liquid water, water near ions, water at interfaces, water in biological microsystems, and water under other types of perturbations such as laser fields are described. Connections are made throughout the book with statistical mechanical theoretical methods on the one hand and with experimental data on the other. The book is expected to be useful not only for theorists and computer analysts interested in the physical, chemical, biological and geophysical aspects of water, but also for experimentalists in these fields.
