      'Adsorption Calculations and Modelling' provides readers with practical, useful information about how to make adsorption calculations and formulate models describing adsorption processes. Unlike most books on this subject, this book treats both gas phase adsorption and liquid phase adsorption with equal emphasis, and supplies a rigorous treatment of multi-component adsorption. It also covers adsorption applications in environmental applications including the use of impregnated adsorbents for protection against toxic gases and carbon adsorption in water and wastewater treatment.

      Organic Chemistry: An Introductory Course is an introductory textbook that covers the significant developments in organic chemistry. This book is composed of 20 chapters that particularly focus on the basic, physico-chemical principles and reactions. The first 10 chapters explore the classification, physico-chemical properties, analysis, and reactions of numerous organic compounds, including aliphatic compounds, aldehydes, alcohols, esters, ethers, and acid derivatives. The subsequent three chapters describe the optical activity, stereoisomerism, biological significance, and industrial applications of these group compounds. Other chapters deal with the reactions and applications of other organic compounds, such as aromatic, nitro, phenol, benzaldehyde, and benzoic acid. The remaining two chapters emphasize the determination of molecular and structural formula of organic compounds. This book is of value to undergraduate organic chemistry students with advanced level course.

      Survey of Progress in Chemistry, Volume 3 considers the principles common to all chemistry that undergo major developments and modifications, including photosynthesis, flame, asymmetric reduction, and stereoregular polymers. This volume is composed of five chapters, and starts with a discussion on component reactions, apparatus, and photoelectron transport of photosynthesis. The next chapter deals with the general chemistry and kinetics of some of the common flame system, along with their practical applications. A chapter focuses on the many mechanistic applications of isotope effects. This topic is followed by a description of the ordinary steric and electronic interactions in asymmetric reductions. The last chapter explores the synthesis, nomenclature, and polymerization of stereoregular polymers. This book is of great value to chemistry teachers and undergraduate chemistry students.

      Biochemistry of Cancer focuses on cancer research, including induction, chemical composition, and growth of tumors and chemotherapy. The book first offers information on the general phenomena and taxonomy of cancer. Discussions focus on the transmissibility of tumors and experimental basis of cancer research; cancerous transformation of animal tissues in vitro; growth and the vascular reactions of tumors; and classification of animal tumors. The text also ponders on the extrinsic factors in the induction of tumors, including comparative carcinogenicity of hydrocarbons, metabolic fate of injected hydrocarbons, dosage and response to carcinogenic hydrocarbons, and polycyclic hydrocarbons. The manuscript takes a look at the intrinsic factors in the induction of tumors. Topics include influence of sex hormones on carcinogenesis of sex and accessory sex tissues; viruses as causative agents for fowl tumors and rabbit papillomas; and possibility of relatively non-specific endogenous carcinogens. The publication also elaborates on attempts to control tumor induction and growth and the chemistry of tumors. The book is a vital reference for readers interested in the biochemistry of cancer.

      Medicinal Chemistry–III provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of medicinal chemistry. This book discusses the mechanism of action of drugs at the molecular level. Organized into eight chapters, this book begins with an overview of the systems for protein biosynthesis that are classified according to their mechanism and the selective action of drugs on their reactions. This text then examines the key structure in the biosynthesis of the peptidoglycans of bacterial cell walls. Other chapters consider the enzymes that transcribe DNA synthesizing RNA, which have structural differences in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. This book discusses as well the concepts for drug screening as they have been emerged from neurochemical research. The final chapter deals with the significance of molecular orbital theory in the hands of the biologist or chemists, which lies in its ability to derive information regarding the properties of molecules. This book is a valuable resource for organic, physical, and biological chemists.
