Robert Burns Woodward was the star of 20th-century organic chemistry. An MIT graduate by age 19, Woodward's ingenious notions about organic synthesis and his artful methodology were astounding. He is most famed for his synthesis of vitamin B12,which he undertook with Albert Eschenmoser, and for the orbital symmetry rules he developed with Roald Hoffmann. This volume presents Woodward's most celebrated papers and lectures--including the famous Cope lecture. Insightful commentaries and rarely seen photographs are also included.
Most chemists today have either taken part in, or been affected by, the chemical revolution that has taken place over the course of the last century. Developments in instrumentation have changed not just what chemists do, but also how they think about chemistry. New and exciting areas of previously inaccessible research have been opened up as a direct result of this revolution. This is the first book to examine this instrumental revolution and goes on to assess the impact on chemical practice in areas ranging from organic chemistry and biochemistry to environmental analysis and process control, thus demonstrating how fundamental and extensive are the changes that have occurred. With contributions from internationally recognised specialists, this lavishly illustrated book provides a focal point for any historian of chemistry or chemist with an interest in this fascinating topic. This book is published in association with the Science Museum, London, UK and the Chemical Heritage Foundation, Philadelphia.
This volume provides the reader with an integrated overview of state-of-the-art research in philosophy and ethics of design in engineering and architecture. It contains twenty-five essays that focus on engineering designing in its traditional sense, on designing in novel engineering domains, and on architectural and environmental designing. This volume enables the reader to overcome the traditional separation between engineering designing and architectural designing.
This is the companion book to the former CHF traveling exhibit by the same name. "This multifaceted portrait of an extraordinary human being, teacher, and consummate organic chemist should inspire more young persons to pursue scientific careers, provide chemists with deep insight into the creative mind of a 'legendary architect of molecules,' and enhance the public's understanding of chemistry and its research methods." - Journal of Chemical Education.
The Book Is A Revised Edition Of A Lucid And Stimulating Introductory Account Of Organometallic Chemistry, An Exciting And Rapidly Developing Interdisciplinary Branch Of Science.A Characteristic Feature Of This Book Is The Presentation Of An Integrated (Covering Different Facets Usually Dealt With Either In Organic Or/And Inorganic Texts) View Of The Rapidly Developing Field Of Organometallic Chemistry. Attempts Have Been Made To Choose The Latest Examples To Illustrate The Fundamental Properties As Well As The Synthetic Procedures Of Organometallic Chemistry. Other Features Include: (A) An Interesting Brief Historical Background Of The Subject Including Some Quotations From Relevant Nobel Lecture Accounts Of Epoch Making Advances By The Discoverers Themselves, (B) The Adoption As Far As Possible Of The Iupac Rules Of Nomenclature, (C) A Brief Account Of The Rapidly Emerging Organometallic Chemistry Of The F-Elements, And (D) Inclusion Of Study Questions At The End Of Each Chapter.During The Revision Of The Book, The Latest Examples Have Replaced The Older Ones Wherever Feasible. The Book Would Be Extremely Useful As A Basic Text For B.Sc. (Hons.) And M.Sc. Chemistry Students.
Lists citations with abstracts for aerospace related reports obtained from world wide sources and announces documents that have recently been entered into the NASA Scientific and Technical Information Database.
