Published in three volumes, this comprehensive reference work brings together in a single source for the first time, a detailed presentation of the most important theoretical concepts and methods for the study of molecules and molecular systems.  The logical format of the Handbook allows the reader to progress from the foundations of the field to the most important and exciting areas of current research. Edited and written by an outstanding international team, and containing over 100 articles written by more than 50 contributors, it will be invaluable for both the expert researcher and the graduate student or postdoctoral worker active in any of the broad range of fields where these concepts and methods are important.  Comprises three themed volumes: * Fundamentals * Molecular Electronic Structure * Molecules in the Physico-Chemical Environment: Spectroscopy, Dynamics and Bulk Properties * Presents detailed articles covering the key topics, presented in a didactic manner * Focuses both on theory and the relation of experiment to theory  Volume 1, Fundamentals presents the foundations of molecular physics and quantum chemistry. It consists of 7 parts arranged as follows:-  Part 1 Introduction  Part 2 Elements of Quantum Mechanics  Part 3 Orbital Models for Atomic, Molecular and Crystal Structure  Part 4 Symmetry Groups and Molecular Structure  Part 5 Second Quantization and Many-Body Methods  Part 6 Approximate Separation of Electronic and Nuclear Motion  Part 7 Quantum Electrodynamics of Atoms and Molecules  The central problem of molecular physics and quantum chemistry is the description of atomic and molecular electronic structure. The development of appropriate models for the description of the effects of electron  correlation and of relativity are key components of the analysis. Volume 2, Molecular Electronic Structure, addresses these topics, and consists of 7 parts arranged as follows:  Part 1 Approximation methods  Part 2 Orbital Models and Generalized Product Functions  Part 3 Electron correlation  Part 4 Relativistic molecular electronic structure  Part 5 Electronic structure of large molecules  Part 6 Computational quantum chemistry  Part 7 Visualization and interpretation of molecular electronic structure  In reality no molecular system exists in isolation. Molecules interact with other atoms and molecules, and with their environment. Volume 3, Molecules in the Physico-Chemical Environment - Spectroscopy, Dynamics and Bulk Properties, consists of 7 parts arranged as follows:-  Part 1 Response theory and propagator methods  Part 2 Interactions between molecules  Part 3 Molecules in different environments  Part 4 Molecular Electronic spectra  Part 5 Atomic Spectroscopy and Molecular Vibration-Rotation Spectroscopy  Part 6 Molecular dynamics and dynamical processes  Part 7 Bulk properties

In this analysis of racialism in late-nineteenth-century France, antisemitism is studied not in isolation but in its social context, as an indicator and symptom of profound social change. As anticapitalism, for example, antisemitism expressed hostility to modern economic forms and 'the rule of money'; as a kind of socialism, it expressed opposition to the establishment without calling the social hierarchy into question; as a kind of nationalism and as racialism, it created a sense of belonging, in opposition to the Jews and to other supposedly alien groups within French society. Other aspects studied in the book are the religious, the sexual, and the cultural and intellectual, in which antisemitism again acted as the vehicle for the expression of the fears inspired by and in reaction to the experience of rapid change, which was seen as a fundamental decadence.Always the supposed action of the Jews supplied an explanation of otherwise inexplicable phenomena. Analysis of involvement in the Dreyfus Affair, which dramatized antisemitism and gave it new appeal and legitimacy, and of the antisemitic movement and its activities, indicates which social groups were particularly attracted to antisemitism: students, the clergy and Catholics generally, shopkeepers, army officers, members of the liberal professions, and the aristocracy. In each case, particular anxieties and grievances were articulated through a common ideology. There is little evidence that antisemitism was prompted by any experience of actual co-existence with any Jewish communities, except in the east of France; the choice of Jews as scapegoats has, rather, historical and religious explanations. Antisemitism at this time was propagated by 'intellectuals' through newspapers, pamphlets, and books; the new cultural media were used to fashion an abstract ideology from much older folk beliefs. The antisemitic movement of the time had no coherent programme. It did advocate various measures, culminating in extermination, against the Jews, but this was rhetoric, not practical policy.
