Through new perspectives from a mix of original monographs, biographies, autobiographical memoirs, edited collections of essays and documentary sources, translations, classic reprints, and pictorial volumes, this series will document the individuals, ideas, institutions, and innovations that have created the modern chemcial sciences.
This book examines the upsurge of nationalism among scientists of warring nations during and after World War I.
In this historical volume Salvatore Califano traces the developments of ideas and theories in physical and theoretical chemistry throughout the 20th century. This seldom-told narrative provides details of topics from thermodynamics to atomic structure, radioactivity and quantum chemistry. Califano’s expertise as a physical chemist allows him to judge the historical developments from the point of view of modern chemistry. This detailed and unique historical narrative is fascinating for chemists working in the fields of physical chemistry and is also a useful resource for science historians who will enjoy access to material not previously dealt with in a coherent way.
This Book Is Organized Into Thirteen Sections, Each Dealing With A Particular Area In Physical Chemistry. Each Section Starts Off With A Short Biography Of A Famous Scientist Associated With That Field. The Theory Behind The Experimental Work Is Then Covered, Followed By The Experimental Procedures Themselves. A Few Review Questions Help You To Gauge Your Understanding Of The Topics Covered. Each Section Has Its Own Appendix That Contains Useful Data, Hints To Solve The Review Questions And The Expected Experimental Results. Each Section Is Designed To Be A Self-Sufficient Unit Found In One Place In The Book.The Book Would Serve As An Excellent Text-Cum-Reference For Students Pursuing Post-Graduate Degree In Chemistry. Under Graduate Students Of Chemistry (Hons) Would Also Find It Extremely Rewarding And Inspiring.
In this collection of interrelated essays, the authors review landmark developments in electrochemistry building on biographic material and personal insight. The book facilitates understanding of the innate pathways of developments in electrochemical science as a result of lucky circumstances fitting to objective conditions. Thus the book will help to understand the present state of electrochemistry and offer inspiration for solving today’s scientific challenges. The authors as experienced electrochemists from the U.S., Western and Eastern Europe also provide guidance for scientific careers by presenting biographical examples of famous electrochemists.
Fundamentals of Electrochemistry provides the basic outline of most topics of theoretical and applied electrochemistry for students not yet familiar with this field, as well as an outline of recent and advanced developments in electrochemistry for people who are already dealing with electrochemical problems. The content of this edition is arranged so that all basic information is contained in the first part of the book, which is now rewritten and simplified in order to make it more accessible and used as a textbook for undergraduate students. More advanced topics, of interest for postgraduate levels, come in the subsequent parts. This updated second edition focuses on experimental techniques, including a comprehensive chapter on physical methods for the investigation of electrode surfaces. New chapters deal with recent trends in electrochemistry, including nano- and micro-electrochemistry, solid-state electrochemistry, and electrocatalysis. In addition, the authors take into account the worldwide renewal of interest for the problem of fuel cells and include chapters on batteries, fuel cells, and double layer capacitors.
Covers all aspects of chemistry in over 5,000 entries; includes diagrams, articles, chronologies, and appendices covering the Greek alphabet, the periodic table, and the electromagnetic spectrum.
