Studies examining the ways in which the training of engineers and scientists shapes their research strategies and scientific identities.
The Compound-Name Index of the "Collective Indexes" to volumes 17-19 of the 5th Supplementary Series, in which the heterocyclic compounds containing ring oxygen or chalcogen atoms, or both, are described, is now available. Over 200,000 index entries enable access to more than 250,000 compounds. The Formula Index (in four volumes) which belongs with the aforementioned index is scheduled to appear in 1990/91. Für die in den Bänden 17 bis 19 des 5. Ergänzungswerkes (E V) beschriebenen Heterocyclen, die nur Sauerstoff und Chalkogenanaloga als Heteroatome enthalten, liegt jetzt ein Namens-Register (Compound-Name Index) vor. Mehr als 200.000 Registereinträge erschließen über 250.000 Verbindungen. Das zugehörige Formel-Register (4 Bände) ist für 1990/91 geplant.
Dmitrii Mendeleev (1834–1907) is a name we recognize, but perhaps only as the creator of the periodic table of elements. Generally, little else has been known about him. A Well-Ordered Thing is an authoritative biography of Mendeleev that draws a multifaceted portrait of his life for the first time. As Michael Gordin reveals, Mendeleev was not only a luminary in the history of science, he was also an astonishingly wide-ranging political and cultural figure. From his attack on Spiritualism to his failed voyage to the Arctic and his near-mythical hot-air balloon trip, this is the story of an extraordinary maverick. The ideals that shaped his work outside science also led Mendeleev to order the elements and, eventually, to engineer one of the most fascinating scientific developments of the nineteenth century. A Well-Ordered Thing is a classic work that tells the story of one of the world’s most important minds.
More than 80 personalities, in or from Germany, that over the centuries have shaped the development of analytical chemistry are introduced by brief biographies. These accounts go beyond summarising key biographical information and outline the individual's contributions to analytical chemistry. This richly illustrated Brief offers a unique resource of information that is not available elsewhere.
