REVIEWS IN COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY
Kenny B. Lipkowitz, Raima Larter, and Thomas R. Cundari
This volume, like those prior to it, features chapters by experts in various fields of computational chemistry. TOPICS COVERED IN Volume 21 iNCLUDE AB INITIO QUANTUM SIMULATION IN SOLID STATE CHEMISTRY; MOLECULAR QUANTUM SIMILARITY; ENUMERATING MOLECULES; VARIABLE SELECTION; BIOMOLECULAR APPLICATIONS OF POISSON-BOLTZMANN METHODS; AND DATA SOURCES AND COMPUTATIONAL APPROACHES FOR GENERATING MODELS OF GENE REGULATORY NETWORKS.
FROM REVIEWS OF THE SERIES
"Reviews in Computational Chemistry remains the most valuable reference to methods and techniques in computational chemistry."
—JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR GRAPHICS AND MODELLING
"One cannot generally do better than to try to find an appropriate article in the highly successful Reviews in Computational Chemistry. 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)."
—JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY

<p>The first three of the six chapters in this volume are tutorials for the novice chemist on valence bond theory, modeling spin-forbidden reactions, and calculating the electronic spectra of large molecules. The remaining contributions review the computational techniques used in simulating chemical waves and patterns, the application of fuzzy soft computing methods to chemistry, and the current status of drug absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion, and toxicology (ADME/Tox) models for several intensely studied proteins. Annotation &copy;2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR</p> <h3>Scientific Computing World</h3> <p>...certainly a book that should be considered as an essential component for any complete natural science library.</p>

Computational chemistry is increasingly used in conjunction with organic, inorganic, medicinal, biological, physical, and analytical chemistry, biotechnology, materials science, and chemical physics. This series is essential in keeping those individuals involved in these fields abreast of developments in computational chemistry.
