This volume presents a personal selection of papers by Herschbach which have influenced the development of chemical physics. The papers include major works on the molecular dynamics of reactive collisions, celebrated by the 1986 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The papers are accompanied by instructive comments and afterthoughts by the author which outline subsequent and anticipated applications of the ideas, methods and discoveries. Beyond its use as a reference book, students and senior investigators alike should gain from this volume a vision of both the foundations and the frontiers of chemical physics.
