BOOK DESCRIPTION:

Signed hardcover copy of Time Reversibility, Computer Simulation, and Chaos by William G. Hoover, a foundational work in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, molecular dynamics, and chaos theory. This is the 2001 reprint edition of the original 1999 text, published by World Scientific.

This copy is signed and inscribed by Hoover in 2002, while at Livermore, to a fellow scientist at UC Berkeley — an expert in biological modeling and computational neuroscience. The inscription makes this a compelling association copy for collectors of scientific works that bridge disciplines.

William (Bill) Hoover is widely known for co-developing the Nosé–Hoover thermostat, a standard in molecular simulation, and for his major contributions to computational physics. This book explores deterministic dynamics, time-reversible systems, and the emergence of statistical behavior in physical models—core concepts in modern simulation science.

CONDITION:

Condition: Near Fine / VG+. Glossy hardcover is clean and bright with only slight bumping to the spine ends and minimal wear to one corner. Corners show only the faintest signs of wear—visible only on close examination. Binding is tight and square. Pages are crisp, clean, and unmarked apart from the author’s signed inscription on the front flyleaf. No dust jacket issued by the publisher. An outstanding, collectible copy of a high-impact scientific title.
