The central theme, which threads through the entire book, concerns computational modeling methods for water. Modeling results for pure liquid water, water near ions, water at interfaces, water in biological microsystems, and water under other types of perturbations such as laser fields are described. Connections are made throughout the book with statistical mechanical theoretical methods on the one hand and with experimental data on the other. The book is expected to be useful not only for theorists and computer analysts interested in the physical, chemical, biological and geophysical aspects of water, but also for experimentalists in these fields.Contents:IntroductionMolecular Dynamics MethodsStatistical AveragesExperimental Description of WaterTheoretical Description of WaterBulk Water ComputationsResults for Aqueous SolutionsComputation for Water at InterfacesInterfacial Water in Chemistry and BiologyWater in Nonequilibrium StatesMassively Parallel ProcessingThe Far Past and the Near FutureReadership: Chemists, biologists, physicists, computer scientists and geophysicists.Key Features:Highlights the important lessons from some major exchange rate and monetary experiences in Asia, with some relatively revolutionary hypotheses drawn from the discussionsContains an Overview section, which links and elaborates on the most important discussions in the various papers on an issue-by-issue basisIncludes contributions by Ronald McKinnon (Stanford University) and John Williamson (Peterson Institute), among others
