Los cien años de estudios de Química en la Universidad de Santiago de Compostela son el fruto del compromiso y labor colectiva de generaciones de docentes y personal administrativo y de la energía e ilusion de tantas promociones de estudiantes. Los capitulos de este volumen son ocasion y lugar de encuentro, desde los origenes y la evolucion de la Facultad o el desarrollo de sus departamentos y planes de estudio hasta la imparable proyeccion social de la quimica en la actualidad. En un entrañable registro de los hitos y etapas que cristalizan en lo que la Facultad de Quimica encarna hoy, estas paginas constituyen, cuestion de quimica, un evocador homenaje al colectivo universitario que lo ha hecho posible y conmemoran no solo el largo camino transitado hasta el presente sino el brillante futuro de unos estudios consagrados a la luz de la ciencia y el conocimiento.

Clary's account makes for fascinating reading, not least because of its clear style and copious citation of primary sources and original scientific articles. The author provides a compelling narrative of Schrodinger's departure in 1933 from a highly eminent position at the University of Berlin to a precarious, untenured position at Magdalen College with political and scientific considerations deftly woven together.' [Read Full Review]ScienceErwin Schrodinger was one of the greatest scientists of all time but it is not widely known that he was a Fellow at Magdalen College, Oxford in the 1930s. This book is an authoritative account of Schrodinger's time in Oxford by Sir David Clary, an expert on quantum chemistry and a former President of Magdalen College, who describes Schrodinger's remarkable life and scientific contributions in a language that can be understood by all. Through access to many unpublished manuscripts, the author reveals in unprecedented detail the events leading up to Schrodinger's sudden departure from Berlin in 1933, his arrival in Oxford and award of the Nobel Prize, his dramatic escape from the Nazis in Austria to return to Oxford, and his urgent flight from Belgium to Dublin at the start of the Second World War.The book presents many acute observations from Schrodinger's wife Anny and his daughter Ruth, who was born in Oxford and became an acquaintance of the author in the last years of her life. It also includes a remarkable letter sent to Schrodinger in Oxford from Adolf Hitler, thanking him for his services to the state as a professor in Berlin. Schrodinger's intense interactions with other great scientists who were also refugees during this period, including Albert Einstein and Max Born, are examined in the context of the chaotic political atmosphere of the time. Fascinating anecdotes of how this flamboyant Austrian scientist interacted with the President and Fellows of a highly traditional Oxford College in the 1930s are a novel feature of the book.A gripping and intimate narrative of one of the most colourful scientists in history, Schrodinger in Oxford explains how his revolutionary breakthrough in quantum mechanics has become such a central feature in 21st century science.

Este libro de texto está pensado para un curso de Química Física General. Al escribir este texto, se ha procurado tener en cuenta los objetivos de claridad, exactitud y profundidad. Al objeto de hacer la presentación asequible, el libro contiene definiciones y explicaciones de conceptos expuestos cuidadosamente, detalles completos de la mayoría de las deducciones, e introducciones de los temas más relevantes en matemáticas y física. Se ha obviado un tratamiento superficial, que dejaría al estudiante con una escasa compresión de la Química Física. Por él contrarío, se ha intentado un tratamiento la más fundamental y actualizado que permite el nivel de un curso licenciatura.
