From the reviews:

This book presents an updated account on the status of the computational modeling of homogenous catalysis at the beginning of the 21st century. & The reader will be able to use the book as a reference & . it should be of interest both to established researchers and to interested graduate students. & Indeed an impressive collection of papers that has the freshness and enthusiasm of international authorship.
