Ladanyi Summary Annotation Provides a window on the rapidly growing body of theoretical studies of condensed phase chemistry. Approaches and applications studied here range from classical mechanics to quantum mechanics, encompassing a range of systems from atom transfer reactions in simple fluids to charge transfer in water to biological systems. Each chapter presents an overview of a state-of-the-art technique by investigators who have been at the forefront of developing the approaches. Specific subjects include classical and quantumrate theory for condensed phases, Feynman path centroid dynamics, proton transfer in condensed phases, orbital- free kinetic-energy density functional theory, and mechanistic studies of solvation dynamics in liquids. Schwartz is affiliated with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Annotation c.
