Review :
"This book has been written as an introduction to molecular modeling and is particularly useful to students new to the field. It is particularly good as a reference material as it explains many commonly used terms and equations in a clear and concise manner." (Chromatographia, January 2010) "A useful and comprehensive introduction to the field of molecular modeling for those who wish to understand the theory behind many of the methods in use today"(Reviews, May 2009)
