Chemical, Biochemical, and Engineering Thermodynamics

A modern, accessible, and applied approach to chemical thermodynamics
Thermodynamics is central to the practice of chemical engineering, yet students sometimes feel that the discipline is too abstract while they are studying the subject.

By providing an applied and modern approach, Stanley Sandler’s Chemical, Biochemical, and Engineering Thermodynamics, Fourth Edition helps students see the value and relevance of studying thermodynamics to all areas of chemical engineering, and gives them the depth of coverage they need to develop a solid understanding of the key principles in the field.

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.

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.
