Chemistry Books

A brand new educational series by Grolier- this 10 volume set is filled with research, projects, and experiments to allow students opportunity to apply themselves to the science of chemistry. Introduces working principles and experiments.

Colorful, beautiful layout. Volumes include- Atoms and Molecules,
Chemistry in Action, Chemical Reactions, Energy and Kinetics, States of Matter, Periodic Table, The Elements: Metals and Metalloids, The
Elements: Nonmetals, The Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry. Excellent for elementary through middle school library.

An outstanding book from a maestro. Good for undergraduate as well as graduate students.

This is THE book for chemical sensing with FET. Madou, equally comfortable in semiconductors and electrochemistry, weaves through both fields at a fundamental level and makes clear, concise interdisciplinary links. Excellent!

i want to learning about cooling water treatment system. i am a boilerman need to know water treatment.
i hope can learning and improve my knowledge.
i hope your let me know about cooling water system,wood steam bolier,generator,turbine system.

I did not read the whole book, which was quite technical.
There was a section describing the nerve agent soman, and the separation of its four stereoisomers by capillary gas chromatography. There was also research described in which the four stereoisomers were separated and had their individual toxicities determined in animals. This section was fascinating and its contemplation gave me the shivers to think of the danger involved handling this dreadful poison.
One thing I would criticize( as a neophyte in this area of research) is the constant use of acronyms. A glossary would be very helpful.
I noticed one error : the authors characterized dieldrin and aldrin as organophosphates, which they are not.

This, in my view , is the best book on the subject. It combines extensive discussion of the history of these agents, reviews of the physics of agent dispersal, and extensive discussion of both basic pharmacology and pricipals of treatment.
Any physician involved in preparation for these agents should have this book. Please note, this is not a basic or public interest book, but a serious scientific review.

In my opinion this is the best book ever written on chemically reacting flow. Unlike many other books on this subject, it focuses on formulating models exactly and solving them using state-of-the-art computational methods. By "exactly" I mean models that attempt to simulate chemical kinetics and transport phenomena at the molecular level. The book is aimed at chemical engineering applications, and consequently it is limited to thermally compressible flows ( low Mach numbers). The problems at the end of the chapters are generally very good and frequently involve issues that arise in real research applications. My only quibble is that the chapter on reaction-rate theory focuses too much on QRRK methods, which were really superseded by RRKM theory about 50 years ago.

wonderful index makes this a very usable se

Annotation This autobiography details the interaction of an eminent scientist, Glenn Seaborg, with the highest levels of government in the U.S. during an important period for both science and public policy. Seaborg worked for each administration from 1946 to 1996. The work is based on meticulous notes that he recorded each day. Much of the material in the chapters consists of unedited excerpts from his personal diary, which are interesting, but often too detailed for general readers. Sections at the end of each chapter contain personal reflections that provide many fascinating insights into the personalities of the nation's leaders. The book also contains numerous photos of Seaborg taken with presidents and other dignitaries.
