A new book in the RSC Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Series, Single- Ion Solvation provides a clear understanding of the concepts, definitions and difficulties underlying the problem of determining single-ion solvation free energies via experiment or theory. Written by Philippe Hunenberger and Maria Reif, the book is primarily aimed at researchers (professors, postgraduates, graduates, and industrial researchers) concerned with processes involving ionic solvation properties (these are ubiquitous, eg. in physical/organic/analytical chemistry, electrochemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, geology, and ecology). Because of the concept definitions and data compilations it contains, it is also a useful reference book to have in a university library. Finally, it may be of general interest to anyone wanting to learn more about ions and solvation. For more information see http://www.rsc.org/shop/books/2011/9781847551870.asp.
