Description
Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive discussion of the dynamical properties of simple liquids at a microscopic level. It presents experimental data and establishes a theoretical framework. This framework is then used as a basis for a modern version of kinetic theory and its applications.
Trade ReviewThe result is a clear, carefully worded and pedagogically satisfactory text, which is practically self-contained for a reader with a basic knowledge of statistical and fluid mechanics. ....Balucani and Zoppi have produced a competent and clearly written text... * Jean-Pierre Hansen, Oxford University, UK, Physics World, May 1995 *
...the book is a useful addition to the specialized literature, offering a comprehensive and diligent account of a limited area of research, at its current level of development. It should be useful to beginners for complementary reading after broader introductions to the liquid state of matter. * Libri Ricevuti E Recensioni, 1996 *
