This textbook covers the basics necessary for understanding the statistical theory of unimolecular reactions in its original and variational, phase-space and angular momentum-conserved incarnations. Because the emphasis is on "why" rather than "how to", there are many problems and answers to explore further. The book is targeted at graduate and advanced undergraduate students studying chemical dynamics, chemical kinetics and theoretical chemistry.

Review
'The striking element of this book is its elegant, yet simple, presentation of the unimolecular reactions ... Students will appreciate the readability and clarity of the presentation of this book. This will surely become the modern day "classic".' ChemPhysChem
Book Description
The statistical theory of unimolecular reactions is now universally known as RRKM theory. This textbook covers the basics necessary for the understanding of RRKM theory in its original and variational, phase-space and angular momentum-conserved incarnations. The emphasis is on 'why' rather than 'how to', for which purpose there are numerous problems and answers to help probe the ramifications of the main text. The book is targeted at graduate and advanced undergraduate students studying chemical dynamics, chemical kinetics and theoretical chemistry.

First Sentence:
"RRK" was historically the first successful model of a unimolecular reaction, being put forward in 1926 by Rice and Ramsperger [1], and, independently and almost simultaneously, by Kassel [2]; hence the abbreviation "RRK."
