"In a living body, a variety of molecules are working in concerted manner to maintain its life, and to inherit the genetic information from generation to generation. A key word to understand such processes is "water," which plays an essential role in life phenomena. This book sheds light on life phenomena, which are woven by biomlecules as warp and water as weft, by means of statistical mechanics of molecular liquids, the RISM and 3D-RISM theories, both in equilibrium and non-equilibrium. A considerable number of pages are devoted to basics in mathematics and physics, so that students who are not in the physics major may be able to study the book by themselves. The book will be also beneficial to those scientists seeking better tools for the computer-aided-drug-discovery"--
