"A few months after the first edition of May and Kuehn's book was released, I met a Danish colleague at a conference in Montreux (on Lake Geneva). He had spent the weekend reading the book in his hotel room, despite the beautiful weather and nice sightseeing! This anecdote illustrates the sucess met by the first edition, and if you liked it, then you will like the second edition even more! ... the book provides a didactic and pedagogic presentation of molecular processes."

Recommendation of the second edition:
- This book by V. May and O. Kühn is a book that belongs onto the desk of anyone working on timely problems of energy and charge transfer in chemistry, physics and biological physics; in particular for all those that engage in research in molecular electronics.
(Prof. Peter Hänggi, Augsburg)
From reviews of the first edition:
- ... Eines der Hauptanliegen des Buches [ist] die systematische Darstellung auf einheitlicher theoretischer Grundlage ... mit dem Anspruch, jeweils bis an die Front der aktuellen Forschung zu führen. Das ist den Autoren in bemerkenswertem Maße gelungen.
(Zeitschrift für Physikalische Chemie)
- ... [Das Buch] ist nicht nur allen auf den behandelten Feldern aktiven Forschern, sonder auch allen an einer Übersicht über Grundlagen und neuere Entwicklungen Interessierten zu empfehlen.

Reviews about the prior editions:
- ... a very good up-to-date survey of modern theoretical methods for describing the molecular dynamics of physical, chemical, and biochemical elementary processes, both in the gas phase and in solution.
(Angewandte Chemie - International Edition)
- It can be recommended unreservedly for scientists engaged in research in this field.
(Angewandte Chemie - International Edition)
- ... essential reading for theoreticians, and also valuable to experimentalists, as an aid to interpreting experimental data and as a way into the original literature....
