An excellent book for chemists and physicists
I think this is the book that one would like to write. It contains the fundaments of molecular orbital theory from the beginning. I strongly recommend it. ... Read more

Product Description
John's Gospel begins:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.He was with God in the beginning.Through him all things were made; without him, nothing was made that has been made."
This opening reflects the presentation of the Creation sequence in the first book of the Bible.Beyond this, we hypothesize that John's Gospel presents Jesus' life and ministry as a spiritual parallel to the physical creation sequence in Genesis.This makes John's Gospel markedly different form the other three Gospels, which portray a more chronological narrative.
This spiritual creation structure is employed in interpreting John's Gospel, though the interpretations are not constrained by this thought.Successive chapters in this analysis consider the successive days of the spiritual creation sequence in John's gospel; with an expositional section and an exhortational one.This couplet is repeated seven times in the book, for each of the spiritual days.In each chapter, the spiritual equivalent of the component in the 'physical day' of the Genesis creation is considered alongside the presentation of Jesus Christ in each "spiritual day" of John's Gospel.
The final chapter addresses questions of overall conceptual format to ensure that we have not "missed the forest for the trees," i.e.:
- How are the Father and Son glorified from a spiritual creation sequence embedded in a Gospel?
- Are there othe portions of scripture patterned this way and, if so, what do we gain perceiving the spiritual creation sequence within them?
- How does the perception of John's spiritual creation help us to be better disciples of Jesus Christ?
It is hoped the analysis presented in John's Creation will answer these questions and therefore prove of genuine worth to one walking the path of discipleship in Christ. ... Read more

insightful and important read
As Christians we are immersed in the gospels, but this book takes us in a different direction...back to Genesis.A refreshing look at the gospel of John.I bought this book for a personal read, but it has been used in my church for an adult bible study with great results. ... Read more

Book Description
Describes and discusses the use of theoretical models as an alternative to experiment in making accurate predictions of chemical phenomena. Addresses the formulation of theoretical molecular orbital models starting from quantum mechanics, and compares them to experimental results. Draws on a series of models that have already received widespread application and are available for new applications. A new and powerful research tool for the practicing experimental chemist. ...

orbital structure
I want of all pictures of orbital structure

Some dated material, still useful.
As a graduate student studying quantum chemistry, I find this book useful as a reference. Much of the material is somewhat outdated, but still veryapplicable and useful for understanding the underlying theory. I wouldrecommend this book for any chemist interested in understanding the theoryof quantum chemical calculations or how to interpret the results of suchcalculations. I would consider it a must for students of quantum,theoretical, or computational chemistry who need to develop anunderstanding of theory.

Dated work.Not recommended.
This old book attempts to describe basic quantum chemistry and walk onethrough a series of exercises using the Gaussian series of programs. Notreally very useful. ... Read more
