150 Years of the Periodic Table
This book provides an overview of the origins and evolution of the periodic system from its prehistory to the latest synthetic elements and possible future additions. The periodic system of the elements first emerged as a comprehensive classificatory and predictive tool for chemistry during the 1860s. Its subsequent embodiment in various versions has made it one of the most recognizable icons of science. Based primarily on a symposium titled “150 Years of the Periodic Table” and held at the August 2019 national meeting of the American Chemical Society, this book describes the origins of the periodic law, developments that led to its acceptance, chemical families that the system struggled to accommodate, extension of the periodic system to include synthetic elements, and various cultural aspects of the system that were celebrated during the International Year of the Periodic Table.
Periodic Table of the Universe
This compelling exploration unveils the cosmic dance of atoms, weaving the story of the universe through the lens of the periodic table. From the birth of elements in stellar furnaces to their role in the formation of planets and life, this book illuminates the fundamental building blocks of our existence. This book reveals how the elements have shaped the cosmos, from their fiery birth in stars to their role in creating planets and life. Geared towards science enthusiasts, educators, and curious minds, this exploration showcases the periodic table as a dynamic, ever-evolving framework. Discover the pivotal moments in the history of chemistry and astronomy and delve into the theories that explain the intricate dance of atoms. This book uniquely combines scientific rigor with an engaging narrative, making complex concepts accessible and fascinating. Whether you are a student, a teacher, or simply passionate about the wonders of the universe, this book offers a fresh perspective on the fundamental building blocks of matter and their cosmic significance.
Much Ado about (Practically) Nothing
Much Ado about (Practically) Nothing: A History of the Noble Gases is an engaging look at what the recent research on the noble gases can teach us about the composition and history of the earth and our cosmos.
How Glass Changed the World
Glass production is thought to date to ~2500 BC and had found numerous uses by the height of the Roman Empire. Yet the modern view of glass-based chemical apparatus (beakers, flasks, stills, etc.) was quite limited due to a lack of glass durability under rapid temperature changes and chemical attack. This “brief” gives an overview of the history and chemistry of glass technology from its origins in antiquity to its dramatic expansion in the 13th century, concluding with its impact on society in general, particularly its effect on chemical practices.
Physical Chemistry: Thermodynamics
This is a new undergraduate textbook on physical chemistry by Horia Metiu published as four separate paperback volumes. These four volumes on physical chemistry combine a clear and thorough presentation of the theoretical and mathematical aspects of the subject with examples and applications drawn from current industrial and academic research. By using the computer to solve problems that include actual experimental data, the author is able to cover the subject matter at a practical level. The books closely integrate the theoretical chemistry being taught with industrial and laboratory practice. This approach enables the student to compare theoretical projections with experimental results, th...
After Cooling
This “ambitious [and] delightful” (The New York Times) work of literary nonfiction interweaves the science and history of the powerful refrigerant (and dangerous greenhouse gas) Freon with a haunting meditation on how to live meaningfully and morally in a rapidly heating world. In After Cooling, Eric Dean Wilson braids together air-conditioning history, climate science, road trips, and philosophy to tell the story of the birth, life, and afterlife of Freon, the refrigerant that ripped a hole larger than the continental United States in the ozone layer. As he traces the refrigerant’s life span from its invention in the 1920s—when it was hailed as a miracle of scientific progress—to ...
How the Refrigerator Changed History
How the Refrigerator Changed History examines the invention and evolution of the refrigerator and explores how refrigeration has changed the way people eat and live. Features include essential facts, a glossary, selected bibliography, websites, source notes, and an index, plus a timeline and maps, charts, and diagrams. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Essential Library is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.
