The latest edition of the leading forum in chemical physicsEdited by Nobel Prize winner Ilya Prigogine and renowned authority Stuart A. Rice, the Advances in Chemical Physics series provides a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations in every area of the discipline. In a format that encourages the expression of individual points of view, experts in the field present comprehensive analyses of subjects of interest. Volume 125 covers a wide range of subjects, with significant, up-to-date chapters by internationally recognized researchers. The editors collect innovative papers on "Finite Size Scaling for Atomic and Molecular Systems," "Control of Quantum Dynamics by Laser Pulses-Adiabatic Floquet Theory," "Recent Advances in the Theory of Vibration-Rotation Hamiltonians," and several other related topics. Advances in Chemical Physics remains the premier venue for presentations of new findings in its field. SciTech Book News Specialists...explain recent developments for scientists working in other areas of chemical physics.
INTRODUCTION\ Few of us can any longer keep up with the flood of scientific literature, even in specialized subfields. Any attempt to do more and be broadly educated with respect to a large domain of science has the appearance of tilting at windmills. Yet the synthesis of ideas drawn from different subjects into new, powerful, general concepts is as valuable as ever, and the desire to remain educated persists in all scientists. This series, Advances in Chemical Physics, is devoted to helping the reader obtain general information about a wide variety of topics in chemical physics, a field that we interpret very broadly. Our intent is to have experts present comprenhensive analyses of subjects of interest and to encourage the expression of individual points of view. We hope that this approach to the presentation of an overview of a subject will both stimulate new research and serve as a personalized learning text for beginners in a field.\ I.

For researchers and students in chemical physics. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)\ \ \ \ \ From The CriticsNine recent papers represent the current state of chemical physics. They discuss transition path sampling, chemical reaction dynamics, chaos, single molecule spectroscopy, self-similarity, electron- correlated approaches, the computational chemistry of acids, cooperative effects of hydrogen bonding, and nonadiabatic electron- transfer reactions. Numerous charts and graphs provide a visual display of the data. The contributors include chemical engineers, chemical biologists, and other scientists from the United States, Japan, Brazil, and Germany. Annotation c.
