This text provides a uniform and consistent approach to diversified problems encountered in the study of dynamical processes in condensed phase molecular systems. Given the broad interdisciplinary aspect of this subject, the book focuses on three themes: coverage of needed background material, in-depth introduction of methodologies, and analysis of several key applications. The uniform approach and common language used in all discussions help to develop general understanding and insight on condensed phases chemical dynamics. The applications discussed are among the most fundamental processes that underlie physical, chemical and biological phenomena in complex systems.

The first part of the book starts with a general review of basic mathematical and physical methods (Chapter 1) and a few introductory chapters on quantum dynamics (Chapter 2), interaction of radiation and matter (Chapter 3) and basic properties of solids (chapter 4) and liquids (Chapter 5). In the second part the text embarks on a broad coverage of the main methodological approaches. The central role of classical and quantum time correlation functions is emphasized in Chapter 6. The presentation of dynamical phenomena in complex systems as stochastic processes is discussed in Chapters 7 and 8. The basic theory of quantum relaxation phenomena is developed in Chapter 9, and carried on in Chapter 10 which introduces the density operator, its quantum evolution in Liouville space, and the concept of reduced equation of motions. The methodological part concludes with a discussion of linear response theory in Chapter 11, and of the spin-boson model in chapter 12. The third part of the book applies the methodologies introduced earlier to several fundamental processes that underlie much of the dynamical behaviour of condensed phase molecular systems. Vibrational relaxation and vibrational energy transfer (Chapter 13), Barrier crossing and diffusion controlled reactions (Chapter 14), solvation dynamics (Chapter 15), electron transfer in bulk solvents (Chapter 16) and at electrodes/electrolyte and metal/molecule/metal junctions (Chapter 17), and several processes pertaining to molecular spectroscopy in condensed phases (Chapter 18) are the main subjects discussed in this part.

'Beautifully and clearly written, describing mathematics in necessary detail without overloading the reader, and very neatly and consisely explaining physics of the described phenomena.' European Journal of Chemical Physics and Physical Chemistry, August 2007

This is an excellent book which is intended to be a text for a graduate course in condensed matter chemistry and physics. It is extremely well written from the pedagogic and literary points of view. I particularly enjoyed the extremely pertinent quotations from Lucretius at the begining of each chapter. Journal of Statistical Physics, Vol. 126, No. 6, March 2007, Irwin Oppenheim, Massachusett Institute of Technology, USA

I purchased this book on the recommendation of one of my professors, Andrei Tokmakoff, who gave it strong recommendations. I find it to be ideal as a physical chemist who is interested in getting more into theory. It starts at the level of someone who had a strong background in physics from undergrad but not quite yet a card-carrying theoretician.

Nitzan's presentation is clear, and his breakdown of the topics follows a good flow. I'm basically reading the book a section at a time as bed-time reading, so I'm not exactly plowing through it quickly -- but I find it gives me a good dose of theory to balance each day in the lab. I give it a solid recommendation to anyone who is in my like-minded position.

This book gets 4 stars because it covers so many things so well. It only doesn't get 5 because as I used it, I always found myself back at about page 4 trying to fit the pieces together. The chapters build very strongly on one another, which is generally a plus except when you're only concerned with a few topics covered. If you are interested in powering through this whole book or have a strong background in quantum and statistical mechanics, you will not be disappointed.

I was a graduate student in quantum chemistry, and I knew nothing about chemical dynamics until I read Abe's book as a postdoc. The book is sensational,
and it is by far the easiest place to learn about Marcus theory and Kramer's theory of solvent-controlled reactions. I come back to this book all the time.
There is no book more important for anyone interested in learning the fundamentals of chemical dynamics in the condensed phase.

Any experimental or theoretical researcher of condensed phase chemical dynamics should own this book. It is very methodical and solid. Although very mathematical at points, there are plenty of very insightful discussions. This book connects to experimental reality very well.

Exactly as described; quick delivery!
