Energy Landscapes : Applications to Clusters, Biomolecules and Glasses (Cambridge Molecular Science)
Editorial Reviews
Review
'This beautifully illustrated book provides a detailed background and description of energy landscapes and gives many examples of how they can be used to explain the properties of atomic and molecular clusters, biomolecules, glasses, and supercooled liquids ... Energy Landscapes provides a pictorial language that simplifies complicated calculations to a form that can be understood and used by many scientists interested in molecular problems, from undergraduates to those at the frontier of research.' Science Magazine
'Since this is the first book published in this very active field, it should serve as a reference source for a long time, and will be a very valuable resource for young scientists to become acquainted with the study of the PES of complex systems.' Angewandte Chemie
'... the energy landscape community ... owes a great debt to Dr Wales for producing a detailed yet eminently readable book that will serve as the standard reference for many years to come ... the author is to be recommended for tackling this important and vase area and for presenting it in a lucid and unified picture. The author's clear and gentle style make the book accessible to undergraduates, while the depth of coverage and the insights that are generously sprinkled throughout the book will make it invaluable to researchers in the field ... On many occasions I found myself picking up the book just for random browsing and the sheer enjoyment of the clear discussion and beautiful presentation.' Physics in Canada
Book Description
Many research groups are now attempting to understand how the properties of systems ranging from small molecules to proteins and glasses are determined by the energy landscape. This book provides a self-contained account of energy landscape theory and how it is applied in studies of clusters, biomolecules and glasses. Beautifully illustrated in full color, the volume is geared to graduate students as well as professionals.
