An Introduction To Analytical Chemistry
Analytical chemistry refers to the study of substance's structure and constituents. Thus, it refers to the mathematical method and art of identifying and quantifying matter. The study of analytical chemistry serves as a difficult area that advances several scientific disciplines. It offers a strategy for addressing chemical issues, not only a set of analytical tools and a grasp of equilibrium chemicals. Analytical chemistry represents a subfield of chemistry concerned with the study of chemical analysis.

International Perspectives on Aging
Although the legal problems of the elderly are as old as humankind, they have taken on current prominence for another reason: lifespan has increased markedly in recent years.

They have better survived the ravages of time than have the plans fashioned when life expectancy was much lower. Questions concerning social status, expectations of living standards, general assistance and medical care all have become far more important and considerably more difficult. As life has become longer, and death more controllable, the issu...

Social Consequences of Internet Use
