The Atribute of Water

Single Notion, Multiple Myths

Springer series in Chem Phys 113， 2016

"O:H-O bond segmental disparity and O-O Coulomb repulsion form the soul dictating the adaptivity, cooperativity, memory-ability,sensitivity, and recoverability of water and ice"

• Scientific popularization 

• Quantitative resolution

• Insight extension

This volume deals with scientific popularization, quantitative resolution,and insight extension of upwards of ten best known mysteries, such as Mpemba paradox,floating of ice, regelation of ice, slipperiness of ice, water’s tough skin, nanodroplet and bubble thermodynamics, Hofmeister effect, water floating bridge, density-structure correlation of water ice, hydrogen bond potentials, etc. This book also demonstrate how the hydrogen bond (O:H-O) relaxes cooperatively in respondingto stimuli of chemical impurification, electric polarization, mechanical compression, molecular undercoordination, and thermal excitation.

The target audience for this book varies from junior students to senior scholars,engineers and practitioners in the area of physical chemistry, biology, waterand aqueous solutions.

Series Editor report:

 I have read the introductory material and sample chapter on the slipperiness of ice. This is a very unusual and interesting book. At first I thought from its entertaining and folksy style that it would not be substantial enough for the Springer Chem. Phys. series, but it quickly moves on to a deep discussion and thorough review of the topic. I personally found it very interesting (my first degree was actually in chemistry before I moved on to physics). If the other chapters are equally interesting, then there will likely be a substantial market for this book. It would be great for students who are new to the topic.   I wouldn't mind having a copy for myself.  On that basis, I can recommend it for the Springer Chem. Phys. series.
