From water, air, and fire to tennessine and oganesson, celebrated science writer Philip Ball leads us through the full sweep of the field of chemistry in this exquisitely illustrated history of the elements. The Elements is a stunning visual journey through the discovery of the chemical building blocks of our universe. By piecing together the history of the periodic table, Ball explores not only how we have come to understand what everything is made of, but also how chemistry developed into a modern science. Ball groups the elements into chronological eras of discovery, covering seven millennia from the first known to the last named. As he moves from prehistory and classical antiquity to the age of atomic bombs and particle accelerators, Ball highlights images and stories from around the world and sheds needed light on those who struggled for their ideas to gain inclusion. By also featuring some elements that aren’t true elements but were long thought to be—from the foundational prote hyle and heavenly aetherof the ancient Greeks to more recent false elements like phlogiston and caloric—The Elements boldly tells the full history of the central science of chemistry.

As we attempt to solve engineering problems of ever increasing complexity, so must we develop and learn new methods for doing so. The Finite Difference Method used for centuries eventually gave way to Finite Element Methods (FEM), which better met the demands for flexibility, effectiveness, and accuracy in problems involving complex geometry. Now,

XXIVth International Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry, Volume 6 contains lectures presented at the XXIVth International Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry held at Hamburg, Federal Republic of Germany in September 1973. The book consists of papers discussing a wide range of subjects on pure and applied chemistry. The compendium has papers that deal with transuranium elements, chemical reprocessing of nuclear fuel, and studies of the heaviest elements at Dubna. The text also presents papers covering topics on the super HILAC and the Berkeley superheavy element program, the chemistry of actinide elements, and nuclear applications to environmental problems and technology. Chemists will find the book insightful.

Olmsted/Burk is an introductory general chemistry text designed specifically with Canadian professors and students in mind. A reorganized Table of Contents and inclusion of SI units, IUPAC standards, and Canadian content designed to engage and motivate readers distinguish this text from many of the current text offerings. It more accurately reflects the curriculum of most Canadian institutions. Instructors will find the text sufficiently rigorous while it engages and retains student interest through its accessible language and clear problem solving program without an excess of material that makes most text appear daunting and redundant.

MBE Decoded is a fresh approach to MBE study which makes the vast amount of MBE tested rules manageable and understandable. The authors fully analyzed all NCBE released MBE questions to determine rule coverage and identify common testing patterns so you don’t have to. This book can be used during law school for early bar preparation or during intensive bar preparation by first-time takers and repeat bar takers who struggled on the MBE the first time. This book is a great resource for students to get essential MBE practice before they fully “know” the law, allowing students to get additional essential practice recognizing the fact patterns and testing styles that are key to passing. Pedagogically, this book encourages students to engage with the material, develop deep rule understanding, gain MBE pattern recognition, and aids in critical memorization efforts. Professors and student will benefit from: MBE black letter law subject matter outlines that are clear and concise with key terms bolded. Identification of the most frequently tested MBE rules. Summary charts to help you understand confusing topics and how they interrelate. MBE tips to improve accuracy and understanding of how the rules apply to fact patterns. Decoy tips to help you avoid picking the wrong answer when more than one good option is available. Examples, pulled from NCBE MBE released questions, which illustrate how the rules are MBE tested. Bullet point memorization cheat sheets. Guided MBE question deconstructions illustrating best MBE solving practices. A guide on how to effectively solve MBE questions with troubleshooting tips to help improve your accuracy. Guidance on effectively taking an MBE exam online.

Generating a quality finite element mesh is difficult and often very time-consuming. Mesh-free methods operations can also be complicated and quite costly in terms of computational effort and resources. Developed by the authors and their colleagues, the smoothed finite element method (S-FEM) only requires a triangular/tetrahedral mesh to achieve mo
