	Description:			Molecular Reaction Dynamics is a brand new version of the classic text by Levine and Bernstein. The book delivers a much-needed, updated treatment of this critical topic. An appreciation of how chemical reactions occur and their control is essential to chemists and interdisciplinary fields such as materials and nanoscience, drug design and stereochemistry. The first half of the book describes experimental techniques for initiating and probing reaction dynamics and the essential insights gained. The second part explores key areas including photoselective chemistry, stereochemistry, chemical reactions in real time and chemical reaction dynamics in solutions and interfaces. Typical of the new challenges are molecular machines, enzyme action and molecular control. With problem sets included, this book is aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying chemical reaction dynamics, as well as physical chemistry, biophysics and materials science. • An in-depth and comprehensive account of reaction dynamics at the molecular level described with a broad interest in mind • Research and progress in key and emerging interdisciplinary areas are discussed alongside the traditional chemistry to include fields such as materials science and drug design • Problem sets are included at the end of each chapter to aid understanding.

	Review:			'… An excellent introduction to modern chemical reaction dynamics throughout… there is a nice balance of experimental and theoretical viewpoints… this is a book that should be on every chemical dynamicist's bookshelf, and one that I will certainly recommend to my students.
