Book SynopsisPresents an account of the chemistry of the elements for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. This book covers the inorganic chemistry of the elements, and also analytical, theoretical, industrial, organometallic, bio-inorganic and other cognate areas of chemistry. It discusses it within the context of an underlying theoretical framework.
Trade Review'Presents a balanced, coherent and comprehensive account of the chemistry of the elements.' THE CHEMICAL ENGINEER, FEB '98 ' The innovative and successful textbook presents a balanced coherent and comprehensive account of the elements for both undergraduate and postgraduate students.' Documentation Journal ' Completely revised and updated' ' Gives a balanced, coherent and comprehensive account of the chemistry of the elements for undergraduate and postgraduate students' ' The authors use descriptive chemistry to discuss the Chemistry of the Elements Booknews "...should be aquired by all serious chemistry undergraduates and graduate students...and is good value for money." "The second editiion continues the good work of the first and should be acquired by all serious chemistry undergraduates and graduate students (and inorganic chemistry staff)..it is good value for money..all chemists should buy this new edition, and use it."
