[Martina · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a book suited for beginners in molecular modeling. It covers a lot of basic topics and is written in a nice, pedagogical style with lots of sketches. There is a nice balance between formalism and descriptions, which is sometimes tough to find in textbooks. All in all, it's a well-rounded book for anyone jumping into Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics or ab initio methods.
