Per Enghag | 1900-01-01 00:00:00 | Wiley-VCH; 1 edition (October 8, 2004) | 1309 | Chemical Engineering
"…a valuable reference book for any scientist or engineer…professional chemists, physicists, mineralogists, and metallurgists as well as students…will find the history of the elements, their discovery and properties interesting." (Energy Sources, June 2005)
"…a useful compendium of the science, technology, culture, and history of the elements…for anyone interested in the history of chemistry, it should be a pleasure to pick an element at random and read one of these delightful essays…" (American Reference Books Annual, 2005)
"Here, in an encyclopedia that brims with life-long reference value, the student has the whole and complete record of the elements at his fingertips." (Electric Review, April/May 2005)
"... full of fascinating accounts of the history of the elements and the uses to which they are put." (Chemistry & Industry, No.5, 7th March 2005)
"... the most comprehensive one-stop compilation of factual data on the chemical elements and their history, occurrence and applications." (E-STREAMS, February 2005)
"...in an encyclopedia that brims with life-long reference value, the student has the whole and complete record of the elements at his fingertips." (Electric Review, October/ November 2004)
"... goes beyond just listing properties and chemical facts. It is full of interesting historical information, anecdotes and fascinating asides" (Chemistry World, Vol.1, No.12, December 2004)
Review
"The book is well researched and very accurate, providing the reader with reliable information. ... The Encyclopedia of the Elements is a highly interesting addition to the chemical literature. ... I do not know of any other book that could at this moment be listed as a serious competitor. ... The Encyclopedia of the Elements is a full-sized academic source of reference that will probably rapidly find lots of friends in all fields from (of course) inorganic chemistry, mineralogy and material science but probably among solid-state physics and geochemists, too."
--Dr. Thomas Lazar for The Chemical Educator
