From Book News, Inc.
Having become a classic reference since its original publication in 1919, continues to provide a wide range of students and professionals with quick access to technical data and descriptive information for common chemical substances and phenomena. Identifies thousands of chemical substances by name, physical properties, source of occurrence, shipping regulations, Chemical Abstracts Registry (CAS) number, chemical formula, potential hazards, derivatives, synonyms, and applications. Also includes biographical sketches of Nobel laureates, contact information for professional associations and societies within the chemical industry, and an appendix on the origin of some chemical terms. Not indexed, but very thoroughly cross-referenced. As printed, the CiP data still shows the Van Nostrand Reinhold ISBN (0-442- 02324-3) rather than the ISBN assigned by Wiley, which recently bought VNR. Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR
