What people are saying - Write a reviewUser Review - Flag as inappropriate If you want a book about colloids from the most well-verse and clear-thinking guru in the field, Hakan Wennerstrom, this is it, particularly if you need mastery of the mathematics and modeling. Wennerstrom does not fall prey to the many conceptual errors that are common in the field, such as double-counting hydrophobic interaction terms and the like. And if you want to delve deeper into any one of the concepts in the book, you can be sure that you'll find a publication from Wennerstrom and the Univ. Lund Phys. Chem. group that goes far deeper, both in terms of mathematics and application of the concepts. So there really shouldn't be any complaining that these 632 pages don't go deep enough, the literature is all on PubMed and will be understood once you've read this manifesto. Review: The Colloidal Domain: Where Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Technology MeetUser Review - Darin - GoodreadsThis book was disappointing, without enough substance. I was hoping it would be a little bit more intuitive than Adamson. Read full review Related books
