Molecular Driving Forces, Third Edition
暫譯: 分子驅動力（第三版）

This widely used, comprehensively updated introductory text on statistical thermodynamics describes the principles and forces that drive chemical and biological processes. It explains how a few simple physical principles cause the complex behaviors of molecules, and how simple models provide surprisingly accurate insights into the workings of the molecular world. Written in an accessible, student-friendly style without compromising rigor, Molecular Driving Forces offers an excellent introduction to the subject for beginners and a valuable resource for experts.

3rd edition highlights:

• New chapter on the nonequilibrium dynamics of driven, adaptive, and evolving systems
• New appendix on stochastic dynamics, including master equations and the Fokker-Planck model
• New vignettes on the Bayes Theorem, reverse osmosis membranes, and the chemiosmotic hypothesis
• Comprehensively updated examples, references, and end-of-chapter questions
• Instructor resources available
