Description

Book Synopsis
Provides a comprehensive treatment of the properties of liquids under conditions where the stable state is a vapor, a solid, or a liquid mixture of different composition. This book examines the fundamental principles that govern the equilibrium properties, stability, relaxation mechanisms, and relaxation rates of metastable liquids.

Trade Review
Winner of the 1997 Award for Best Professional/Scholarly Book in Chemistry, Association of American Publishers "This is an authoritative text ... both readable and comprehensive. It should provide an invaluable handbook both for experimentalists interested in what is known about metastable liquids and for theoreticians who wish to become aware of the great deal which remains to be explained and understood."--Contemporary Physics
