Zusatztext Nobody covers Pacific Mexico like award-winning travel writer Bruce Whipperman.His completely updated and expanded second edition of 'Puerto VallartaHandbook' contains broad-ranging coverage unmatched in any other guide!including: -Comprehensive listings of sights and amenities in Puerto Vallartaproper; -Information on sidetrips to such places as Lake Chapala! historicGuadalajara! and the scenic coastlines of Jalisco and Nayarit. Informationen zum Autor Wendell Forst is affiliated with the Laboratoire de Physicochimie Moleculaire, Université Bordeaux I, Talence, France. Klappentext This textbook covers the basics necessary for understanding the statistical theory of unimolecular reactions in its original and variational, phase-space and angular momentum-conserved incarnations. Because the emphasis is on "why" rather than "how to," there are many problems and answers to explore further. The book is targeted at graduate and advanced undergraduate students studying chemical dynamics, chemical kinetics and theoretical chemistry. Zusammenfassung The statistical theory of unimolecular reactions is now universally known as RRKM theory. This textbook covers the basics necessary for the understanding of RRKM theory. Containing many problem sets and solutions! the book is targeted at graduate and advanced undergraduate students studying chemical dynamics! chemical kinetics and theoretical chemistry.
