Chemistry Books

I bought this book after having some trouble with my college level texts, and found this one to be very close to what I was looking for. It doesn't just give you one example of how to work a problem, it gives a few, each having detailed steps. It also gives examples of simple problems, and then works its way up to more complex problems. It seems the Chemistry texts today require you to buy supplemental books, but this text has it all inside the covers. I used it supplementally when I was having trouble with my college text, but it would work great for highschoolers, or even a self-study.

The title of the book is the best description in itself.
Very useful for chemistry teachers of all grades (secondary school, high school and even university) in order to motivate the teaching and learning of this science.

Chemometrics is not intrisically difficult to understand, but it has a high barrier especially for beginners. One of the reasons may be that most of tutorials employses unnecessarily many equations, and they describe claculation algorithms too much. Nonetheless, the basic concept of PCR and PLS should be described on the line of CLS and ILS. The discovery of advantage of ILS, and the idea of using latent variables by PCA are the most important to fully understand PCR and PLS. Richard Kramer writes the book along this concept, and we can comprehensively understand the ideas of maltivariate analysis of spectra. He uses many figures, as if we were performing simulations by ourself. After fully understanding of this book, we would understand other tutorials more deeply and easily.

The most popular materia medicas on Chinese herbs, by Bensky and by Hsu, for the most part leave out details of scientific research. This book fills that gap in the current English language literature on Chinese herbs. Zhu offers extensive details on in vitro research, and, when available, human clinical trials for all the major herbs in use in China today, as well as a brief overview of traditional use.

This book is the Bible of chromatin characterization, particularly for mammalian/vertebrate cell biology. The methods are clearly explained and actually work; there are numerous figures showing what the data can and should look like. Although this book is a bit old, by modern science standards (things move fast these days!), it's still very relevant and the methods are USEFUL. If you can get your hands on a copy of it, you'll probably never let it go!

i am a student. i like Chromatographic Methods

Doc May is currently my professor at St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN. He is one of the most brilliant men that I have ever met. We got to read his book before it was published for a literature class. It is a very good translation. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

This technical publication is aimed at specialist biologists and chemists in the field of platinum cancer chemotherapy. At a price of 225 dollars (US) and the technical knowledge needed to understand the book, it is not recommended for readers who are just interested in increasing their general knowlegde of cancer and chemotherapy.

Each chapter of the book covers a specific area of platinum chemotherapy and each chapter is written by the WORLD EXPERT in that field.

The first chapters deal with the discovery and use of cisplatin, the first platinum drug. The next chapters deal with its DNA binding and toxic side effects.

The remaining chapters deal with reviewing the research that has followed over the last 30 years and describes in detail new complexes that are undergoing clinical trails, their DNA binding and their cytotoxicity and toxicity.

This is an excellent book that is perfect for scientists who are entering or are currently conducting research into platinum complexes as chemotherapeutic agents. Definitely worth the money.

The only inconvenience I find is that the experiments
are written from the teacher point of view. But a lot
(or all) of them can be used in self-teaching or just
for fun; that should be remarked.

I write from Europe, where science manuals are been
replaced by Science divulgation, which librarians
classify between "religion" and "self-help". In this
ambience, books as this one give a refreshing air. We
need more of this.

all organic chemist need this set of books, i dont even need to say this they already know
