Tags:  Encyclopedia of Chemical Physics and   [edit]


Three volumes in one chm file. The Encyclopedia of Physical Chemistry and Chemical Physics is a major new reference work that any chemist and physicist can turn to for an introduction to an unfamiliar area, an explanation of important experimental and computational techniques, and a description of modern endeavors. Readership It is intended for a reader with a solid undergraduate education in physics or chemistry, including mechanics electricity and magnetism, differential equations, simple matrix algebra, chemical nomenclature and the basics of chemical spectroscopy. In addition, the reader has knowledge of quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics at the level of an undergraduate physical chemistry text. Review ... now for the first time we have a comprehensive encyclopedia of this discipline :The editors-in-chief John Moore and Nicholas Spencer not only faced this marathon challenge but solved the problem with style : This balancing act between traditional and ultramodern physical chemistry succeeds : The cross-references excite the reader's interest and stimulates him or her to examine other volumes or topics : University libraries are strongly recommended to buy this encyclopedia, and all research groups working in the field should add this three-volume work to their reference books. -Ralf Ludwig, Angewwandte Chemie ... a long and considerable effort has clearly been spent in compiling it : The encyclopedia is the best single source t Read more...

Tags:  Physical chemistry Understanding our Chemical   [edit]

Understanding Physical Chemistry is a gentle introduction to the principles and applications of physical chemistry. The book aims to introduce the concepts and theories in a structured manner through a wide range of carefully chosen examples and case studies drawn from everyday life. These real-life examples and applications are presented first, with any necessary chemical and mathematical theory discussed afterwards. This makes the book extremely accessible and directly relevant to the reader. Aimed at undergraduate students taking a first course in physical chemistry, this book offers an accessible applications/examples led approach to enhance understanding and encourage and inspire the reader to learn more about the subject. - A comprehensive introduction to physical chemistry starting from first principles. - Carefully structured into short, self-contained chapters. - Introduces examples and applications first, followed by the necessary chemical theory. Review "...a physical chemistry textbook that is interesting, easy to read, and makes the subject comprehensible is overdue:[this book] achieves this goal and does so quire well." (Journal of Chemical Education, May 2006) Read more...

Tags:  The Periodic Table its Story   [edit]

The periodic table is one of the most potent icons in science. It lies at the core of chemistry and embodies the most fundamental principles of the field. The one definitive text on the development of the periodic table by van Spronsen (1969), has been out of print for a considerable time. The present book provides a successor to van Spronsen, but goes further in giving an evaluation of the extent to which modern physics has, or has not, explained the periodic system. The book is written in a lively style to appeal to experts and interested lay-persons alike. The Periodic Table begins with an overview of the importance of the periodic table and of the elements and it examines the manner in which the term 'element' has been interpreted by chemists and philosophers. The book then turns to a systematic account of the early developments that led to the classification of the elements including the work of Lavoisier, Boyle and Dalton and Cannizzaro. The precursors to the periodic system, like Dobereiner and Gmelin, are discussed. In chapter 3 the discovery of the periodic system by six independent scientists is examined in detail. Two chapters are devoted to the discoveries of Mendeleev, the leading discoverer, including his predictions of new elements and his accommodation of already existing elements. Chapters 6 and 7 consider the impact of physics including the discoveries of radioactivity and isotopy and successive theories of the electron including Bohr's quantum theoretical a Read more...

Tags:  Schaums Outline of Biochemistry   [edit]

This step-by-step outline steers you logically, expertly, and clearly through biochemistry. It can save you study time and helps you get better grades because it focuses on the core information you really need to know-and avoids confusing, extraneous material that you don't need! A question-and-answer format highlights the meaning of the material and helps you remember. Easy-to-read line drawings and diagrams make important structures and processes memorable. This new second edition features added sections on whole-body metabolism, enzyme kinetics, and new technologies for monitoring metabolic processes. Use this excellent study guide to help you ace your biochemistry course, study it alone as a complete biochemistry course, or use it for review before a standardized test-it can cut your study hours as it moves you quickly from cell structure through protein synthesis. This is the study guide that makes biochemistry comprehensible-the one whose first edition was chosen by 32,000 grateful students! From the Back Cover This step-by-step outline steers you logically, expertly, and clearly through biochemistry.

Tags:  The chemistry of Fireworks   [edit]

For centuries, fireworks have been a source of delight and amazement in cultures around the world. But what produces their dazzling array of effects? This book takes you behind the scenes to explore the chemistry and physics behind the art of pyrotechnics. Topics covered include: * history and characteristics of gunpowder * principles behind each of the most popular firework types: rockets, shells, fountains, sparklers, bangers, roman candles and wheels * special effects, including sound effects ...

Tags:  The Golden Book of chemistry   [edit]

More than 200 color pictures and clear, easy-to-follow directions show junior chemists how to prepare a laboratory at home, how to buy and make apparatus, and how to set up fascinating, informative experiments. In addition, there are facts about famous chemists, their contributions, and chemistry in nature and industry. Read more...

Tags:  Military and Civilian Pyrotechnics   [edit]

Herbert Ellern wrote this classic work in pyrotechnics for an academic audience. The coverage of fireworks per se is scanty. However, for those who want an introduction to the basic science behind a wide range of pyrotechnic processes, this book is so far without equal. Dr. Ellern provides many formulations used in commercial and military pyrotechnics at the time of writing the book. This work is a must have for any serious collection in pyrotechnics, but its focus does lie outside of the subject area of fireworks as most people understand fireworks Read more...
