Edited by Mark Brouard and Claire Vallance from the University of Oxford and written by internationally recognised researchers, this book will appeal to students studying chemical physics who will find elements of this text interesting and useful.  Subjects covered range from the more traditional topics, such as potential energy surfaces, to more advanced and rapidly developing areas, such as femtochemistry and coherent control.

Tutorials in Molecular Reaction Dynamics includes extensive references to more advanced texts and research papers, and a series of ‘Study Boxes’ help readers grapple with the more difficult concepts. Each chapter is thoroughly cross-referenced, helping the reader to link concepts from different branches of the subject. Worked problems are included, and each chapter concludes with a selection of problems designed to test understanding of the subjects covered. Supplementary reading material, and worked solutions to the problems, are contained on a secure website.

Published under the auspices of both IUPAC and its affiliated body, the International Association of Chemical Thermodynamics (IACT), this book will serve as a guide to scientists or technicians who use equations of state for fluids.  Concentrating on the application of theory, the practical use of each type of equation is discussed and the strengths and weaknesses of each are addressed.  It includes material on the equations of state for chemically reacting and non-equilibrium fluids which have undergone significant developments and brings up to date the equations of state for fluids and fluid mixtures.  This reference will be useful for post graduate researchers in the fields of chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemistry and physics.
