Book Description
From Book News, Inc.
Having become a classic reference since its original publication in 1919, continues to provide a wide range of students and professionals with quick access to technical data and descriptive information for common chemical
substances and phenomena. Identifies thousands of chemical substances by name, physical properties, source of occurrence, shipping regulations, Chemical Abstracts Registry (CAS) number, chemical formula, potential hazards, derivatives, synonyms, and
applications. Also includes biographical sketches of Nobel laureates, contact information for professional associations and societies within the chemical industry, and an appendix on the origin of some chemical terms. Not indexed, but very thoroughly
cross-referenced. As printed, the CiP data still shows the Van Nostrand Reinhold ISBN (0-442- 02324-3) rather than the ISBN assigned by Wiley, which recently bought VNR. Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable
edition of this title.
Product Description:
For eighty-two years, this authoritative reference has been the bedrock volume for professionals worldwide involved with chemicals - from scientific and technical staff, to sales and marketing
personnel, to managers and administrators. This resource remains unrivaled in totality, easy accessibility, and conciseness of data for common chemical substances and phenomena.
In its fourteenth edition, Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary once
again establishes itself as the world's principal lexicon of industrial chemicals, nomenclature, processes, reactions, products, and related terminology. Scrutinized and extensively revised by internationally renowned chemist and reference author,
Richard J. Lewis Sr., this newest edition features updated information on production, usage, and regulatory trends. In addition, the dictionary contains:
- Up-to-date chemical entries, definitions, and cross references
- Web links to new,
as well as established, manufacturers and associations
- To-the-point information on natural products, manufacturing processes, and equipment
This latest edition of the Condensed Chemical Dictionary has retained all the essential
characteristics that have made it a bestseller by providing identification of chemical substances by name, physical properties, source of occurrence, CAS number, chemical formula, potential hazards, derivations, synonyms, and applications. It continues
to be an essential tool for chemists and chemical engineers, environmental professionals, industrial hygienists, toxicologists, police and firefighters, EMTs, emergency clean-up technicians, and managers of toxicological and chemical information systems.
