This text bridges the divide between bench chemistry, process design, engineering, environment, health, safety and life cycle considerations. The authors use a systems-oriented and integrated approach to evolve green chemistry and green engineering as disciplines in the broader context of sustainability.

Offers a structured approach to writing that targets four important chemistry genres: the journal article, conference abstract, scientific poster, and research proposal. Users of the book will learn to write through a host of exercises, ranging in difficulty from correcting single words and sentences to writing professional-quality papers, abstracts, posters, and proposals. The book's read-analyze-write approach teaches students to analyze what they...

This is a modern, comprehensive textbook of mathematics for the students of chemistry. The subject is developed from the most elementary principles, with few assumptions of prior knowledge. The key topics are examined, and illustrative applications to chemistry are used throughout the text.

"This highly readable book, written in nontechnical language, surveys the vast field of chemistry by looking at the practical contributions that chemistry makes to civilized life and by explaining how chemists make these contributions. Its eight chapters discuss broad disciplines of chemistry, such as medicinal, environmental, or industrial chemistry, but always with an eye for the interesting detail and for the human activity that lies behind these...

Building on the first principles of environmental chemistry, engineering, and ecology, this volume fills the need for an advanced textbook introducing the modern, integrated environmental management approach, with a view towards long-term sustainability and within the framework of international regulations. As such, it presents the classic technologies alongside innovative ones that are just now coming into widespread use, such as photochemical technologies...

Ever wonder where the bubbles in your beer came from, which way they are going, and why? Have you considered the physical differences among ales, lambics, and lagers? Do you contemplate your pint? The author, an accomplished homebrewer and physicist has crafted a scientifically sound investigation of the physics and chemistry of beer. He recounts and explains the history of and key technological advances in brewing, provides basic instructions for...
