"This series as a whole is a valuable contribution to the field of computational chemistry, and this latest volume is no exception." (<i>Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Sciences</i>, July 2004) <p>"…covers an eclectic range of computational techniques in the area of molecular and macromolecular modeling…well written and should serve as a useful reference for both students and researchers…" (<i>Journal of the American Chemical Society</i>, Vol. 126)</p>

This volume, like those prior to it, features chapters by experts in various fields of computational chemistry. Volume 19 is centered on the theme of macroscopic modeling, and discusses topics such as: Monte Carlo simulation techniques, computing hydrophobicity, classical trajectory simulations within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, and the theory behind the widely used Poisson-Boltzmann equation. <p><b>FROM REVIEWS OF THE SERIES</b></p> <p>"<i>Reviews in Computational Chemistry</i> remains the most valuable reference to methods and techniques in computational chemistry."<br /> –<i>JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR GRAPHICS AND MODELLING</i></p> <p>"One cannot generally do better than to try to find an appropriate article in the highly successful <i>Reviews in Computational Chemistry</i>. The basic philosophy of the editors seems to be to help the authors produce chapters that are complete, accurate, clear, and accessible to experimentalists (in particular) and other nonspecialists (in general)."<br /> –<i>JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY</i></p>
