Molecular Driving Forces: Statistical Thermodynamics in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Nanoscience 2nd Edition by Ken Dill and Sarina Bromberg book pdf download. is an introductory statistical thermodynamics text that describes the principles and forces that drive chemical and biological processes. It demonstrates how the complex behaviors of molecules can result from a few simple physical processes, and how simple models provide surprisingly accurate insights into the workings of the molecular world.
The Second Edition includes two brand new chapters:
- (1) “Microscopic Dynamics” introduces single molecule experiments
- (2) “Molecular Machines” considers how nanoscale machines and engines work.
“The Logic of Thermodynamics” has been expanded to its own chapter and now covers heat, work, processes, pathways, and cycles. New practical applications, examples, and end-of-chapter questions are integrated throughout the revised and updated text, exploring topics in biology, environmental and energy science, and nanotechnology. Written in a clear and reader-friendly style, the book provides an excellent introduction to the subject for novices while remaining a valuable resource for experts.
