"should be aquired by all serious chemistry undergraduates and graduate studentsand 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."

Reader Reviews
Did you know that the ending ON in silicon was chosen (by Thomas Thomson) to stress the analogy of this element with both carbon and boron? I didn't. Along with such kind of historical details, Greenwood and Earnshaw's book contains a great deal of information (data, tables, graphs, etc.) about the elements of the Periodic Table and their corresponding compounds. The material is logically organized in 31 chapters, which are followed by 7 appendices (1341 pages!). This chemistry bible should stay on the desk of every chemist and scientist alike.
