It demonstrates how the complex behaviors of molecules can result from a few simple physical processes, and how simple models provide surprisingly accurate insights into the workings of the molecular world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidely adopted in its First Edition, \u003cem\u003eMolecular Driving Forces\u003c\/em\u003e is regarded by teachers and students as an accessible textbook that illuminates underlying principles and concepts. The Second Edition includes two brand new chapters: (1) \"Microscopic Dynamics\" introduces single molecule experiments; and (2) \"Molecular Machines\" considers how nanoscale machines and engines work. \"The Logic of Thermodynamics\" has been expanded to its own chapter and now covers heat, work, processes, pathways, and cycles. New practical applications, examples, and end-of-chapter questions are integrated throughout the revised and updated text, exploring topics in biology, environmental and energy science, and nanotechnology. Written in a clear and reader-friendly style, the book provides an excellent introduction to the subject for novices while remaining a valuable resource for experts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ken Dill, Sarina Bromberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815344309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815344308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Garland Science\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 8.30w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2011 pg. 258","brand":"Ken Dill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896487207167,"sku":"9780815344308","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_167b28a4-9db7-47f8-a489-27f6335ca91e.jpg?v=1721371531","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/molecular-driving-forces-ken-dill-9780815344308","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
