Parrill A.L., Lipkowitz K.B. (Eds.) Reviews in Computational Chemistry. Volume 28

John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2015. – 570 p. – ISBN: 1118407776As Reviews in Computational Chemistry begins its 24th year with this 28th volume, it is interesting to reflect on how it has integrated with and influenced my own career over this time period, now that I have joined Kenny as a new series editor. The pedagogically driven reviews focused on computational chemistry were a tremendous resource to me during my graduate studies in the mid-1990s. The series was such an asset in so many ways that none of the volumes could ever be found in the university library, but were always on loan to one of the members of my research group and could be found right in our lab on someone’s desk. I have continued to use the series as a first resource when moving into new areas of computational chemistry, as well as a first place to refer my own graduate students when they begin learning how to function as computational chemists. I hope you have enjoyed and utilized this series in these and other ways throughout your own computational chemistry career.
