Quantum Nanochemistry, Volume Two

"As varied as the interests of landmark entrepreneur and scientist Alfred Nobel, the present book, Quantum Atom and Periodicity by Mihai V. Putz, explores the story of periodicity of chemical elements by incorporating topics spanning from history to topics as complex as the Feynman-Kleinert variational theory, density functional theory, as well as quantum theory of periodicity. The author has very nicely established a connection between the classical views and quantum theory about periodicity of elements. Readers from both physics as well as chemistry can appreciate and comprehend the book, with its clear descriptions and explanations. I recommend the book highly to students of both physics and chemistry who wishes to understand the quantum theory of periodicity of elements."
