      Paraffins: Chemistry and Technology deals primarily with fundamentals of those methods and processes for the manufacture and chemical treatment of the paraffinic hydrocarbons. The present book, the first edition of which was published by the Akademie-Verlag GmbH, Berlin, in 1956, and an unchanged reprint of which of the first edition was necessary in 1959, has been revised, in 1962, for translation into English. The book begins with a discussion of the production and manufacture of the paraffinic hydrocarbons. Separate chapters then cover the catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide by means of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis; the chlorination, sulfochlorination, and oxidation the paraffins along with the corresponding products; and the direct nitration of the paraffinic hydrocarbons. Subsequent chapters deal with the sulfoxidation and other substitution reactions of the paraffinic hydrocarbons and isomerization of the paraffinic hydrocarbons. The book is directed primarily to the chemist involved in research and development. It will also give the advanced student a picture of the many-sided possibilities of the use of the paraffinic hydrocarbons, which were long regarded as extraordinarily unreactive.

      Radiation Effects in Materials, Volume 2: Radiation Chemistry of Organic Compounds provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of radiation chemistry of organic compounds. This book reviews the published work on the radiation chemistry of organic compounds. Organized into nine chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the study of the chemical reactions produced by high-energy radiation. This text then explores the two groups of radiation sources, namely, natural and artificial, that have been equally valuable for radiation chemistry. Other chapters consider the radiation chemistry of water and aqueous systems that is important to organic radiation chemistry. This book discusses as well how radiation alters simple organic compounds, and how the response varies with the irradiation conditions and the presence of other substances. The final chapter deals with the economic aspects of the use of radiation sources in industry. This book is a valuable resource for radiation chemists.

      An Introduction to the Chemistry of Benzenoid Compounds is an introductory text to some chemical aspects of benzenoid compounds. This book is composed of 13 chapters that specifically cover the sources, properties, and reactions of these compounds. The opening chapters describe the structural aspects of benzenoid compounds, including their homologues, isomers, and aromaticity. The subsequent chapters deal with the disubstitution and addition reactions of the benzene nucleus. Considerable chapters are devoted to the synthesis of benzenoid derivatives, such as aromatic halides, nitro-compounds, carbonyl compounds, acids, and amines, phenols, alcohols, and naphthalene. The final chapter introduces the chemistry of anthracene, phenanthrene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. This book is of value to organic chemistry students.

      Principles of X-Ray Diagnosis of the Skull, Second Edition focuses on the process of examining skull radiographs. This book discusses the traditional method of neuroradiology that describes in turn the vault, the sella, and the base, followed by any intracranial calcification that may be present. The radiology of ears, nose, throat and eyes that have much more common ground with neuroradiology are also considered. The radiology of the ear is found in the chapters devoted to the skull base, but the nose, nasopharynx, sinuses, and orbits are treated in a different chapter. The mandible and teeth have little connection with neuroradiology and are not covered. This publication is intended for students of radiology, before and after their diploma examination, and for clinicians to whom the head is of special concern.

      Tables of Wavenumbers for the Calibration of Infrared Spectrometers, Second Edition is a compilation of tables of wavenumber values for the calibration of infrared spectrometers. It makes the best use of high resolution results and integrates the far infrared data with the higher frequency values. This book is organized in two parts, one for high to medium-resolution spectrometers used by physical chemists and physicists, and the other for medium to low-resolution instruments employed by organic and inorganic chemists. The first part includes tables of wavenumber of infrared absorption lines in spectra of gaseous molecules as well as procedures for using the tables, including the calibration-curve method, the method of overlapping orders (superposition method), and atomic line method. The calibration tables are illustrated by infrared spectra obtained under a variety of conditions. The second part includes vapor, liquid, and solid phase calibrants for small spectrometers. This monograph will be a valuable resource for physicists, chemists, and spectroscopists.

      The International Society of Heterocyclic Chemistry in collaboration with Pergamon Press is pleased to announce a new annual publication, Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry. The first volume contains chapters on three new developing topics with the remainder of the volume being devoted to highlights of the 1988 heterocyclic chemistry literature. These highlights are novel and unusual chemistry and not a condensed summary of the literature. Subsequent volumes will review other topics of current interest to heterocyclic chemists as well as covering the previous year's literature. All contributors will be acknowledged authorities in their fields.
