Existing texts on the statistical mechanics of liquids treat only spherical molecules.

However, nearly all fluids of practical interest are composed of non-spherical molecules that are often dipolar or exhibit other kinds of electrostatic forces.

This book describes the statistical mechanical theory of fluids of non-spherical molecules and its application to the calculation of physical properties, and is a sequel to Theory of Molecular Fluids.

Volume 1:Fundamentals by C.G. Gray and K.E. Gubbins. The emphasis is on the new phenomena that arise due to the non-spherical nature of the intermolecular forces, such as new phase transitions, structural features and dielectric effects.

It contains chapters on the thermodynamic properties of pure and mixed fluids,surface properties, X-ray and neutron diffraction structure factors, dielectric properties and spectroscopic properties.

The book is aimed at beginning graduate students and research workers in chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering.
