Archaeological Chemistry
This multidisciplinary volume presents new research in archaeological chemistry, applying chemical techniques to study the material remains of past cultures. It shows how the field combines analytical chemistry, history, and materials science to better understand our past.
This entry-level textbook prepares college students for advanced science courses by bridging the gap from high school chemistry. It emphasizes the history of the discipline to create a storyline, showing how modern chemical vocabulary makes sense only in the light of history.
Science and Biotechnology in Africa
This volume provides a selection of papers from the conference “Translational Science and Biotechnology Advances in Africa.” Encompassing fields from biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences to agriculture, it reflects the tangible advancement of science in Africa.
An accessible guide to organic coatings, this book explains the chemical reactions and mechanisms of film formation. Examples and exercises provide technical insights and a deep understanding of the principles, while demonstrating how to use rheology to solve technical problems.
This book is the most complete description of a photochemical reaction first described 110 years ago. The reaction between a carbonyl compound and an alkene yields an oxetane ring with high selectivity—a key structure in many naturally occurring and bioactive compounds.
