This text shows how many complex behaviors of molecules can result from a few simple physical processes. A central theme is the idea that simplistic models can give surprisingly accurate insights into the workings of the molecular world. Written in a clear and student-friendly s…

Both a comprehensive overview and a treatment at the appropriate level of detail, this textbook explains thermodynamics and generalizes the subject so it can be applied to small nano- or biosystems, arbitrarily far from or close to equilibrium. In addition, nonequilibrium free e…

Covering a wide range of topics of interest to colloid science, this text shows how one can study them from a theoretically unified approach. The book focuses on a physical description of interfacial systems and not on the existence or details of critical phenomena.
