'Shape in Chemistry' looks at molecular shape from a unique
perspective: It introduces the reader to the topological concepts
and methods of precise shape characterization that are applicable
for direct, non-visual description and analysis of general
molecular shapes. The author provides a pictorial introduction to
all the topological tools necessary for the subjects discussed.
Mathematical description is also provided at an easily
comprehensible level. New concepts are introduced beginning at the
familiar level of stereochemistry and lead on to more advanced
topological shape analysis methods. The structure of the book
reflects the author's desire to bring the reader to an early
appreciation of the power of topology in chemistry. After a brief
review of the quantum chemical concept, the author compares the
merits of visual, computer graphics methods and nonvisual,
algorithmic shape analysis methods. The book ends with the concepts
of approximate symmetry and various generalizations of symmetry.
'Shape in Chemistry' is surely destined to become standard reading
in the field. It presents a valuable addition to the literature on
shape and modeling of molecules for non-specialists organic,
physical and medical chemists, researchers in various aspects of
QSAR and pharmacological drug design and advanced undergraduate and
graduate students.
