First published in 1974, Dr Croxton's book takes the reader from a
consideration of the early ways in which the kinetic theory of gases was
modified and applied to the liquid state, through a classical
thermodynamic approach, to the modern cluster-diagrammatic quantum and
statistical mechanical techniques. He includes chapters on the
development and numerical solution of the integral equations relating
the atomic structure to the pair potential, on the nature of the liquid
surface, on the computer simulation schemes and on transport processes
and irreversibility in the liquid phase.
