Klappentext zu „Models, Mysteries, and Magic of Molecules “
The Indaba 5 meeting, held in South Africa during August 2006, examined the progress being made to achieve first-principle understanding of molecular science and confirmed the need to better understand the mysteries and magic of molecules. This book explores the common ground to guide chemists, biologists, crystallographers, spectroscopists and theorists towards painting a holistic picture of scientific endeavor. Molecular behaviour, which is no less than magical, holds the key to the understanding, not only of chemistry, but of all biology and of life itself. It is a mystery why molecular behaviour should remain poorly understood and why the authoritative theories of physics have produced no more than superficial models to elucidate this vital issue. An interdisciplinary international team of experts came together to document and to probe various aspects of these fundamental questions and their startling conclusions confirm the need for a fresh look at the physical sciences with a view to better understand the mysteries and magic of molecules. This book explores the common ground to guide chemists, biologists, crystallographers, spectroscopists and theorists into a deeper recognition of their individual relevance towards painting a holistic picture of scientific endeavour. This effort to stimulate interest in multidisciplinary research is rare, if not unique.

Rezension zu „Models, Mysteries, and Magic of Molecules “
From the reviews:"A book that will probably appeal more to chemists ... is the result of an International Union of Crystallography Indaba workshop held in South Africa in August 2008. ... The book is nicely divided into four sections, Methods, Mysteries, Magic, and Models, each with five chapters. ... starts with a detailed, nicely illustrated, Raman spectroscopy study of life in extreme environments." (Gary L. Long and Fernande Grandjean, Belgian Physical Society Magazine, Issue 1, 2010)
