Origins – the scientific story of Creation

entirely new chapters. It has a revamped layout, with the theoretical fundamentals being clearly explained at the start, and with application/examples sprinkled throughout. Whilst the traditional approach to simulating materials in the first edition was based upon simple force fields, this is an area that has evolved dramatically since then. The new book has a balanced approach, mesoscale/coarse-grained modelling, atomistic simulation, and quantum simulation techniques, including ab initio MD and path-integral MD. These latter two have becomemuchmore mainstream since the first edition, and the new text reflects that. Finally, a word of warning: whilst the title refers to liquids, this text is far more than that – it covers all areas where computer simulation of condensed phases is used, including solids, liquids, soft matter, glasses, etc. Hence this text is once again the ‘go-to’ book for anyone working in MD or MC. When the first edition appeared, there was no competition and this book stood out for its novelty. However, it has stood the test of time due to the quality of the original exposition. This new edition is a welcome update and has kept the strengths of the first edition and been thoroughly refreshed and expanded for the modern age. Whilst there is now much more competition for a textbook such as this, the new edition stands head-and-shoulders above the others and is therefore strongly recommended.
