Organic Nomenclature
The perfect complement to your first organic chemistry course or for quick review in later courses, Organic Nomenclature: A Programmed Introduction, Sixth Edition teaches correct, up-to-date organic chemical nomenclature. The rules, styles, and details of IUPAC names are emphasized -- such as punctuation and spacing -- which are used almost exclusively in Chemical Abstracts indexing. It includes a separate treatment of functional group classes and combines coverage of aliphatic and aromatic compounds. Also, it focuses more on systematic nomenclature than on unsystematic names that may have little use in the future.

The Cambridge History of Science: Volume 5, The Modern Physical and Mathematical Sciences
A new and comprehensive examination of the history of the modern physical and mathematical sciences.
From Chemical Philosophy to Theoretical Chemistry
How did chemistry and physics acquire their separate identities, and are they on their way to losing them again? Mary Jo Nye has written a graceful account of the historical demarcation of chemistry from physics and subsequent reconvergences of the two, from Lavoisier and Dalton in the late eighteenth century to Robinson, Ingold, and Pauling in the mid-twentieth century. Using the notion of a disciplinary "identity" analogous to ethnic or national identity, Nye develops a theory of the nature of disciplinary structure and change. She discusses the distinctive character of chemical language and theories and the role of national styles and traditions in building a scientific discipline. Anyone interested in the history of scientific thought will enjoy pondering with her the question of whether chemists of the mid-twentieth century suspected chemical explanation had been reduced to physical laws, just as Newtonian mechanical philosophers had envisioned in the eighteenth century.

Leviathan and the Air-Pump
Leviathan and the Air-Pump examines the conflicts over the value and propriety of experimental methods between two major seventeenth-century thinkers: Thomas Hobbes, author of the political treatise Leviathan and vehement critic of systematic experimentation in natural philosophy, and Robert Boyle, mechanical philosopher and owner of the newly invented air-pump. The issues at stake in their disputes ranged from the physical integrity of the air-pump to the intellectual integrity of the knowledge it might yield. Both Boyle and Hobbes were looking for ways of establishing knowledge that did not decay into ad hominem attacks and political division. Boyle proposed the experiment as cure. He argu...
