Aqueous Solutions of Simple Electrolytes

Focusing on ion-solvent effects, this volume addresses the complexities of simple ionic solutions, distinguishing itself from broader texts on electrolyte solutions. It reflects on the evolution of classical theories by Debye, Huckel, Onsager, and Fuoss, questioning the point at which a theory achieves "classical" status. The author highlights the limitations of established theories, particularly as new molecular and thermodynamic insights challenge fundamental assumptions, suggesting a need for re-evaluation in light of modern research techniques.
