A Philatelic Ramble Through Chemistry
This is not a history of chemistry which uses stamps instead of the usual illustrations, but a collection of short essays and comments on such chemistry as can be found on postage stamps and other philatelic items. In other words, the choice of topics is dictated by the philatelic material available, with the necessary consequence that important parts of chemical history will be missing for the simple reason that they have not found their way onto postage stamps. Thus, the reader may find detailed comments on lesser known chemists, such as Wilhelm August Lampadius who has been honoured with two stamps by the German Post Office, but hardly anything on such luminaries as Robert Bunsen, who have not been deemed worthy of a commemorative issue.
Elsevier's Dictionary of Chemoetymology
Noting a marked lack of comprehensiveness and/or contemporaneity among typical reference works on chemical etymology, as well as a somewhat spotty coverage of chemical terms and their etymology in comprehensive dictionaries and textbooks the author decided to write an up-to-date desk reference on chemical etymology which would satisfy the needs of casual readers as well as those of more demanding users of etymological lore. Characteristic user-friendly features of the present work include avoidance of cumbersome abbreviations, avoidance of entries in foreign alphabets, and a broad coverage of all chemical disciplines including mineralogy. Biological, medical, geological, physical and mathema...

My 132 Semesters of Chemistry Studies
An intellectual and career autobiography of the Croatian-born chemist (b.1906) who moved to Switzerland during WWII, began a (still- continuing) affiliation with the Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule in Zurich, and in 1975 received the Nobel Prize in chemistry.

The Etymology of Chemical Names
Etymology of Chemical Names gives an overview of the development of the current chemical nomenclature, tracing its sources and changing rules as chemistry progressed over the years. This book is devoted to provide a coherent picture how the trivial and systematic names shall be used and how the current IUPAC rules help to reconcile the conflicting demands.
Highlights of Chemistry
This book provides a comprehensive overview of more than 75 years of Swiss chemical research. Leading authors, among them L. M. Venanzi, H. Zollinger, E. Heilbronner and J. D. Dunitz, highlight outstanding pieces of research that have appeared in Helvetica Chimica Acta since its foundation, in 1917. This collection of highly readable essays will be of great interest to chemists, historians of chemical science, and anyone who wants to know more about the exciting development of Swiss chemistry in the twentieth century.
