Why does matter stick together? Why do gases condense to liquids,
and liquids to solids? This book provides a detailed historical
account of how some of the leading scientists of the past three
centuries have tried to answer these questions. The topic of
cohesion and the study of intermolecular forces has been an
important component of physical science research for hundreds of
years. This book is organised into four broad periods of advances
in our understanding. The first three are associated with Newton,
Laplace and van der Waals. The final section gives an account of
the successful use in the twentieth century of quantum mechanics
and statistical mechanics to resolve most of the remaining
problems. The book will be of primary interest to physical chemists
and physicists, as well as historians of science interested in the
historical origins of our modern day understanding of cohesion.
