Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, 2018

I was excited when I was asked to review this volume of the Annual Review of Physical Chemistry (ARPC) because I could read the articles by active practitioners on current topics in physical chemistry. With the growing literature, one could no longer pretend to be up on things even in one’s own domain of science. ARPC gives you the pulse of physical chemistry as it is practised, covering a wide spectrum (pun intended), from molecules to materials, living as well as non-living. The approach could be ab-initio or phenomenological, bottomup or top-down.
