Water: A Comprehensive Treatise

Recent advancements in physical and life sciences highlight the critical role of water, prompting the release of this new volume despite previous claims of concluding the series. It explores the impact of X-ray and neutron scattering techniques on understanding aqueous solutions and protein structures. Additionally, it provides a timely review of ab initio methods for small molecule hydration and conformational studies. The volume also addresses solvent effects in reaction kinetics, which were previously overlooked, reflecting significant progress made since 1972 in the chemistry of mixed aqueous solvents.
