<p><strong>Ilya Prigogine</strong> is Director of the International Solvay Institutes in Brussels, Belgium. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1977. <p><strong>Stuart Rice</strong> is Frank P. Hixon Distinguished Service Professor in the James Franck Institute and the Department of Chemistry at the University of Chicago.

Edited 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. Experts in the field present comprehensive analyses of subjects of interest, and the format encourages the expression of individual points of view. Chapters in Volume 121 include: <ul> <li>Ultrafast dynamics and spectroscopy of bacterial photosynthetic reaction centers</li> <li>Polymer melts at solid surfaces</li> <li>Morphology of surfaces in mesoscopic polymers, surfactants, electrons, or reaction-diffusion systems: methods, simulations, and measurements</li> <li>Infrared lineshapes of weak hydrogen bonds: recent quantum developments</li> <li>Two centre effects in ionization by ion-impact in heavy-particle collisions</li> <li>Evolution times of probability distributions and averages — exact solutions of the Kramer's Problem</li> <li>Ab initio quantum molecular dynamics</li> </ul> <p>Advances in Chemical Physics remains the premier venue for presentations of new findings in the field.</p>
