by Peter Atkins (2014)
La 4ème de couverture indique : Avec un style clair, concis et dépourvu de tout langage technique et rébarbatif, Peter Atkins aborde les notions fondamentales ainsi que les applications de la chimie. Dans ce livre, Peter Atkins, en partant de notre réalité quotidienne, démontre l'omniprésence de la chimie dans le monde moderne : des vêtements que l'on porte aux médicaments. On doit reconnaître à la chimie moderne le confort matériel qu'elle nous a apporté, sans pour autant négliger les aspects négatifs de cette science tels que la pollution et les autres catastrophes écologiques. Ce livre offrira une introduction idéale à tous ceux qui voudraient comprendre ce qu'est la chimie, il éveillera la curiosité des jeunes étudiants pour cette science extraordinaire.

Providing an introduction to quantum chemistry, this book covers quantum mechanics, atomic structure, and molecular electronic structure. It demonstrates the usefulness and limitations of quantum-mechanical methods for the calculation of molecular properties. It is useful for beginning graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in this field.

Multiphase Flows with Droplets and Particles provides a clear, pedagogical approach to the fundamentals of gas-particle and gas-droplet flows. Multiphase flow technology, especially in the area of gas-droplet and gas-particle flows, is increasingly important in the energy and manufacturing industries. Pollution control, pneumatic transport, food processing, combustion, and development of new materials as well as many other engineering applications will benefit from the fundamental engineering design applications and research in this field.

"The aim of this book is to describe some aspects of the chemistry and chemical ecology which are found in the garden. Looking at the numerous interactions between plants, the soil and other organisms in which chemistry plays a central mediating role, this book covers themes including several of the chemically and ecologically interesting compounds that are produced by common ornamental garden vegetables, as well as those produced by predators that attack them."--Jacket.
