Chemistry Books

The most comprehensive book I've seen for describing and explaining the whys, wherefores, and hows of the geology, chemistry and practical studio concerns of clay. As it is set up as a textbook, it would be great for college or university students who want to be sure they really know their ceramic science inside and out. It is readable and had many illustrations. One of the most interesting aspects for me is the repeated reference to the artist's reverse re-creation of the natural geologic process which form the clay. The chemistry all works in reverse as we form and fire our work. I think that's sort of romantic!

One and only kind of practical book. Every thing that we need to know regarding TCD waveforms are in here. Very easy to read and understand .Please read the Editorial to understand the importence of TCD and all the modern technical tools in the management of stroke and CNS problems in the current Era of modern medicine.

I took a course this summer (two semesters of chemistry in two months) where the required book was the ACS one. It was terrible, and I bought this book so that I could actually have a reference with actual facts in it (which the ACS book lacked).

However, I got SO much more out of this book than just as a mere reference. I never thought I'd say this about a textbook, but this book is actually a pleasure to read! The illustrations are appealing, the facts are organized in a concise manner so that you don't even really have to take notes (major concepts or facts tend to be listed as bullet points), and Chang has a way of pushing things a little farther than "necessary." A great book. Straightforward and to the point, but very accessible. If you want to teach yourself chemistry on your own, this is the book for you. If you got stuck with a bad textbook for a course (as I did), then again this is the book for you. (In all seriousness, all 40 people in my class ended up buying this - and loving it - after the first couple weeks of class).

It all boils down to this: do you want to learn chemistry? Then buy this book!

This is a very good book. Has a lot of relevant stuffs covered and it's at least light years ahead of similar books in terms of digestibility. Tightly-written yet not patronisingly simple. Check it out.

This is the first book that introduces a variety of characterizations techniques for nanomaterials:

Chapter 1. Nanomaterials for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Chapter 2: X-ray characterization of nanoparticles Chapter 3: Transmission Electron Microscopy and Spectroscopy of Nanoparticles Chapter 4: Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy of Nanoparticles Chapter 5: Scanning probe microscopy of nanoclusters Chapter 6. Electrical and electrochemical analysis of nanophase materials Chapter 7. Optical spectroscopy of nanophase materials Chapter 8: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance - characterization of self-assembled nanostructural materials Chapter 9: Photoluminescence from single semiconductor nanostructures Chapter 10: Nanomagnetism Chapter 11: Oxide and -sulfide nanocrystals and nanostructures Chapter 12: Electron Microscopy of Fullerenes and Related Materials

The book was organized in a way that serves the entire field from materials science, chemistry, physics to biology. If you are interested in nanotechnology, this is the first book you should start with.

Truly an epic work, this is by far the most interesting book on characterizing sources of indoor air pollution and related sink effects available today.

I thought I knew everything on this topic, but this book opened my eyes to a terrifying new area of the field.....

Electron transfer, a fundamental chemical process underlying all redox reactions, has been explained in detail, experimentally and theoretically.i have to say that it is an excellent book concerning quantum electrochemistry and quantum biology based on fundamental physics. After i have reviewed this book i wish i could be a electron, as a graduate student majoring electrochemistry.

And i wish i had cherished one, too.

This book contains a selected papers published in NLP. Papers describe current research in Thesaurus, IR, Multilingual IR and Corpus annotation.

This is a avaliable book for people interested in NLP research.

Roald Hoffmann's "Chemistry Imagined" is not only a fascinating book about chemistry: it is also about live, society, history, art, creative thinking. Through several small tales, Hoffmann show to the readers an insightful view of how chemistry is the central science, its contributions to actual society life style, its importance in economy and live and, maybe the most important concept, its strong relationship with art. In some way, the creative process for science is the same that for art. The excellents illustrations made by Vivian Torrence, are the best landscape where the readers can "imagine the chemistry" behind the words of Hoffmann. A must for all the people with an interest in chemistry or science (or, as I said, art).

ChemCom is an excellent option for the high school chemistry teacher looking to build a larger base of students. With its "hands-on" approach to learning chemistry, more students (including those deficient in higher mathematics) can discover the "chemical" world around them. Through ChemCom's "real-life" examples and problems, all students can discover the 'ins' and 'outs' of chemistry
