From the Back Cover:
Topological Methods in Chemistry Howard Simmons and Richard E. Merrifield Introduces a new method and language, based on finite topological spaces, for investigating molecular structure. Eschews the "theorem-proof-remarks" format of mathematics in favor of a more readable style commonly used in physical science. Part I develops the mathematical machinery which can serve as an analytical tool to investigate nonmetric aspects of chemical structure. Specific topics covered include set theory, lattices, graph theory, connectivity classification of topological spaces, combinatorics, and functions and continuity Part II explains the application of the above concepts to molecular structure. Chapters cover the bond topology, the graph topology, duplex spaces, and the topology of chemical reactions. 1988 (0 471-83817-9) 272 pp. Kinetics of Nonhomogeneous Processes A Practical Introduction for Chemists, Biologists, Physicists, and Materials Scientists Edited by Gordon R. Freeman This is the first comprehensive treatment of radiation-induced reaction kinetics--a unified presentation readily accessible to scientists from a wide range of mathematical and conceptual backgrounds. It is the definitive reference on the mechanisms and kinetics of the interaction of radiation with matter in gaseous, liquid, and condensed states. "The book is well edited and reads smoothly; the references are up to date." --Choice "A monumental workThe book will be needed in every library, if only for the authority of the individual presentations." --Chemistry in Britain 1987 (0 471-81324-9) 884 pp.
