1: Survey of the Properties of Water (953k)
"This volume is an elegant
presentation of a statistical mechanical approach to liquid water."
-- Journal of the American Chemistry Society
The aim of this book is to explain the unusual properties of
both pure liquid water and simple aqueous solutions, in terms of the
properties of single molecules and interactions among small numbers of
water molecules. It is mostly the result of the author's own research
spanning over 40 years in the field of aqueous solutions. An
understanding of the properties of liquid water is a prelude to the
understanding of the role of water in biological systems and for the
evolvement of life.
The book is targeted at anyone who is interested in the
outstanding properties of water and its role in biological systems. It
is addressed to both students and researchers in chemistry, physics and
biology.
