Linus Pauling’s Love For Chemistry and World Peace

Linus Carl Pauling wаѕ born іn Portland, Oregon, оn February 28, 1901, the fіrѕt of thrее children of pharmacist Herman W. Pauling аnd Lucy Isabelle Pauling (née Darling). An internationally acclaimed scientist, educator, humanitarian, аnd political activist, thе оnlу person tо hаve received twо unshared Nobel Prizes (for chemistry in 1954; for peace in 1962), Pauling wаѕ оncе characterized by New Scientist аѕ оne of the twenty greatest scientists of all time, on а par wіth Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, аnd Albert Einstein. His magnum opus, The Nature оf thе Chemical Bond (1939), was onе оf the mоst influential and frequently cited scientific books оf thе twentieth century. His advocacy of megadoses оf vitamin C fоr thе common cold, cancer, аnd AIDS iѕ ѕtіll controversial, аnd the work for whiсh hе is bеst known. His life аnd career wеrе characterized bу controversy, аnd almost evеrуthіng about hіm waѕ larger thаn life.

Problem Solving in Chemical Engineering with Numerical Methods

A companion textbook for core courses in chemical engineering or in computational methods. This book takes a “nuts and bolts” approach to interactive problem solving, offering solved, partially solved, and unsolved problems in the core subject areas of chemical engineering where standard numerical methods are illustrated and where numerical solutions are typically required. The numerical techniques for problem solving discussed in the book allow students to use widely available mathematical software packages (such as POLYMATHa , Matlaba , Mathematicaa , Maplea , MathCADa ) to solve realistic chemical engineering problems much more conveniently, faster, and more accurately than with traditional problem solving techniques.

Quality Assurance of Chemical Measurements

This definitive new book should appeal to everyone who produces, uses, or evaluates scientific data. Ensures accuracy and reliability. Dr. Taylor’s book provides guidance for the development and implementation of a credible quality assurance program, plus it also provides chemists and clinical chemists, medical and chemical researchers, and all scientists and managers the ideal means to ensure accurate and reliable work. Chapters are presented in a logical progression, starting with the concept of quality assurance, principles of good measurement, principles of quality assurance, and evaluation of measurement quality. Each chapter has a degree of independence so that it may be consulted separately from the others.
