Theory of Molecular Fluids, Vol. 2

Existing texts on liquid theory are limited to simple liquids of spherical molecules, but nearly all liquids of practical interest have molecules that are non-spherical, resulting in more diverse phenomena. This text is the first to provide the molecular theory for such liquids, and describes applications to a wide range of physical properties.

Chris Gray has an undergraduate degree in Engineering Physics from Queen's University (Ontario) and M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in theoretical physics from the University of Toronto. Following postdoctoral work at McMaster University he joined the Physics Department of the University of Guelph as Assistant Professor in 1969, and became Full Professor in 1977. Following retirement from teaching in 2004 he became University Professor Emeritus. His research interests have included molecular physics, theory of molecular liquids, and atomistic biosimulations.

Keith Gubbins is W.H. Clark Distinguished University Professor of Engineering at North Carolina State University. Previously, he was T.R. Briggs Professor at Cornell University 1976-1997, and joined the University of Florida, as a postdctoral researcher in 1962, leaving as a Professor in 1976. He held numerous visiting professorships throughout the world, and has won several major awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship (1986-7), a William H. Walker Award (American Inst. of Chemical Engrs., 2000), and a Joel H. Hildebrand Award for research on liquids (American Chemical Society, 2007).

Chris Joslin is at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, UK, and has a D.Phil. in Chemistry from Oxford University, and an M.A. in Natural Sciences, from Cambridge University.
