This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the history and science of major air pollution issues.

This text provides for a clear understanding of how electricity is produced, measured, controlled and used. A minimum of mathematics is used for direct explanations of primary cells, magnetism, Ohm's Law, capacitance, transformers, DC generators, and AC motors. Other essential topics covered include conductance, current flow, electromagnetism and meters.

Part of a series that allows students to review in-depth or briefly, depending on the amount of review that they require. Chapters are broken down into topics, all information is presented in bulleted or outline format, and includes many illustrations with detailed biochemical structures.

This book is intended to introduce advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students to the quantum mechanical concepts employed in materials science. Topics range from experimental trends in bonding and structure to the bonding of transition metals and semiconductors.

This book describes how cells work. It presents a new, simpler approach to fundamental processes such as movement, transport, division, and communication, based on sound physical principles.

In Chemical Kinetics and Reaction Dynamics, Houston emphasizes the essential principles of kinetics and dynamics through relevant examples and current research, providing students with a clear, basic understanding.

This chemical kinetics book blends physical theory, phenomenology, and empiricism to provide a guide to the experimental practice and interpretation of reaction kinetics in solution.

This guide covers such topics as matter and energy, elements and atoms, acids and gases, and much more. Discusses the basic chemistry concepts and how chemistry affects our day-to-day lives.

Have you ever wondered about the differences between liquids, gases, and solids? Or what actually happens when something burns? What exactly is a solution? An acid? A base? This is chemistry—the composition and structure of substances composing all matter, and how they can be transformed. This interactive guide gives you a fresh approach to this subject.

This widely used textbook includes such subjects as the electrostatic field in vacuum; boundary conditions and relation of microscopic to macroscopic fields; general methods for the solution of potential problems; and Maxwell's equations, among others. 

This work by a noted physicist takes a look at a fundamental of physics, tracing its development from ancient to modern times. Kepler’s initiation of scientific conceptualization, Newton’s definition, post-Newtonian reinterpretation—contrasting concepts of Leibniz, Boscovich, Kant with those of Mach, Kirchhoff, and Hertz.  

For decades, the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics has provided scientific and engineering communities around the world with the broad range of current and critically evaluated data required by their constantly and rapidly evolving technical fields. Over the past ten years, revisions to the Handbook have kept up with semiconductors and high-temperature superconductors; addressed environmental concerns by providing data on pollutants, contaminants, global warming, and ground water contamination; and revised pertinent data to stay up-to-date with IUPAC standards.

This newly republished edition contains the complete text and
photographs from the previous two volumes of Dr. Hans Jenny's  books — Cymatics and Cymatics, Vol. II — which vividly
depict how audible sound structures matter. More than 350 photos portray Dr. Jenny's scientific experiments in which audible sounds excite
powders, pastes, and liquids into lifelike, flowing forms that reflect
a variety of patterns found throughout nature, art, and architecture.

This book covers concepts relating to electrical theory, as well as giving practical examples of many of the common tasks that electricians must perform.

The Dictionary of Cell Biology was first published in 1989, and has since been translated into several languages. It is intended to provide quick access to easily-understood and cross-referenced definitions of terms frequently encountered while reading the modern biology literature. This server contains the text of the Third edition, published in Late 1999.

A clear and easygoing history of genetics, from Mendel through genome sequencing.

An introductory guide to global magnetic field properties, Earth Magnetism addresses, in non-technical prose, many of the frequently asked questions about Earth's magnetic field.
