      Advances in Magnetic Resonance, Volume 3, describes a number of important developments which are finding increasing application by chemists. The book contains five chapters and begins with a discussion of how the properties of random molecular rotations reflect themselves in NMR and how they show up, often differently, in other kinds of experiments. This is followed by separate chapters on the Kubo method, showing its equivalence to the Redfield approach in the cases of most general interest; the current state of dynamic nuclear polarization measurements in solutions and what they tell us about the interactions of molecules and about the frequency spectra of molecular motions; and insights into the structures of ferroelectric crystals and the nature of the transition to the ferroelectric state. The final chapter discusses spin temperatures and related matters.

      Statistical Mechanics of Nonequilibrium Liquids deals with theoretical rheology. The book discusses nonlinear response of systems and outlines the statistical mechanical theory. In discussing the framework of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, the book explains the derivation of a nonequilibrium analogue of the Gibbsian basis for equilibrium statistical mechanics. The book reviews the linear irreversible thermodynamics, the Liouville equation, and the Irving-Kirkwood procedure. The text then explains the Green-Kubo relations used in linear transport coefficients, the linear response theory, the isothermal linear response theory, as well as the equivalence of thermostatted linear responses. The book also describes how thermostatted linear mechanical response of many-body systems can be related to equilibrium fluctuations. The text explains the procedure for calculating the linear Navier-Stokes transport coefficients through computer simulation algorithms. The book also discusses the van Kampen objection to linear response theory, the steady-state fluctuations, and the thermodynamics of steady states. The text will prove valuable for researchers in molecular chemistry, scientists, and academicians involved in advanced physics.

      Trace Elements in Human Health and Disease, Volume II: Essential and Toxic Elements is a collection of papers presented at an international symposium on trace elements held in Detroit, Michigan on July 10-12, 1974. The symposium provided a forum for discussing the role of essential and toxic elements such as magnesium and chromium in human health and disease. Comprised of 21 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of magnesium deficiency and magnesium toxicity in humans, followed by an analysis of magnesium deficiency and its relation to calcium, parathyroid hormone, and bone metabolism. The reader is then introduced to the biochemistry and physiology of magnesium, along with chromium metabolism and its biochemical effects on humans. Subsequent chapters deal with the metabolism and biochemistry of selenium and sulfur; the health and disease implications of selenium and glutathione peroxidase; effect of pre-eruptive or post-eruptive fluoride administration on caries susceptibility in the rat; and perinatal effects of trace element deficiencies. The book also considers the basis of recommended dietary allowances for trace elements before concluding with a description of quantitative measures of the toxicity of mercury in humans. This book will be useful to physicians, researchers, nutritionists, and toxicologists.

      Chemical Transmission of Nerve Impulses: A Historical Sketch is a translation of the French edition ""Les Transmissions chimiques de l'influx nerveux"" published by Gauthier-Villars in Paris. Organized into 12 chapters, this book begins with a discussion on the definition and importance of the phenomenon of chemical transmission, with chapters specifically devoted to both cholinergic and adrenergic ones. This text then elucidates the general organization of the nervous system in vertebrates. The opposition to the theory of chemical transmission and the state of comparative physiology with regard to chemical transmission are also explained.

      Coordination Chemistry XVI is a compendium of papers that deals with structured absorption band, intra-molecular electron transfer, and the influence of natural and synthetic ligands on the transport and function of metal ions in the environment. Experiments show that the chemical, spectral and kinetic results of the physical state of an enzyme can be a significant experimental variable that will change function-related-con... Another paper points out the dangers of assigning weakly structured bands to partially resolved vibrations, to lower symmetry, to spin-orbit coupling, and to the Jahn-Teller effects. One paper deals with intra-molecular electron transfer in three manifestations: 1) in traditional oxidation-reduction reactions; 2) in induced electron transfer; and 3) in mixed valence complexes. Another paper discusses the reactivity of polynuclear metal complexes involving metal-metal bonds with simple inorganic and organic molecules, particularly, polynuclear aggregates' basic structural forms and polynuclear's fluxional nature. One paper investigates the environmental effects of coordination compounds that disturb the natural balance and levels of metal ions and metal complexes in the ecosystem. The paper cites examples of pollutions caused by abnormal amounts of metal salts and metal complexes introduced in the ecosystem, and the presence of synthetic ligands or abnormal levels of natural ligands in the environment. The compendium is suitable for analytical and organic chemists, chemical engineers, environmentalists, and students of biochemistry.
