      Inorganic Chemistry Fourth Edition provides essential information for students of inorganic chemistry and is updated throughout. The presentation of topics is made with an effort to be clear and concise so that the book is portable and user friendly. The text emphasizes fundamental principles—including molecular structure, acid-base chemistry, coordination chemistry, ligand field theory, and solid state chemistry. It is organized into five major themes (structure, condensed phases, solution chemistry, main group and coordination compounds) with several chapters in each. There is a logical progression from atomic structure to molecular structure to properties of substances based on molecular structures, to behavior of solids, etc.The textbook contains a balance of topics in theoretical and descriptive chemistry. For example, the hard-soft interaction principle is used to explain hydrogen bond strengths, strengths of acids and bases, stability of coordination compounds, etc. Discussion of elements begins with survey chapters focused on the main groups, while later chapters cover the elements in greater detail. Each chapter opens with narrative introductions and includes figures, tables, and end-of-chapter problem sets.This new edition features updates throughout, with an emphasis on bioinorganic chemistry and a new chapter on nanostructures and graphene. More in-text worked-out examples encourage active learning and prepare students for their exams.This text is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate-level students enrolled in the Inorganic Chemistry course. This core course serves Chemistry and other science majors. The book may also be suitable for biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, and other professionals who wish to learn more about this subject area.

      Applied Graph Data Science: Graph Algorithms and Platforms, Knowledge Graphs, Neural Networks, and Applied Use Cases delineates how graph data science significantly empowers the application of data science. The book discusses the emerging paradigm of graph data science in detail along with its practical research and real-world applications. Readers will be enriched with the knowledge of graph data science, graph analytics, algorithms, databases, platforms, and use cases across a variety of research and topics and applications. This book also presents how graphs are used as a programming language, especially demonstrating how Sleptsov Net Computing can contribute as an entirely graphical concurrent processing language for supercomputers. Graph data science is emerging as an expressive and illustrative data structure for optimally representing a variety of data types and their insightful relationships. These data structures include graph query languages, databases, algorithms, and platforms. From here, powerful analytics methods and machine learning/deep learning (ML/DL) algorithms are quickly evolving to analyze and make sense out of graph data. As a result, ground-breaking use cases across scientific research topics and industry verticals are being developed using graph data representation and manipulation. A wide range of complex business and scientific research requirements are efficiently represented and solved through graph data analysis, and Applied Graph Data Science: Graph Algorithms and Platforms, Knowledge Graphs, Neural Networks, and Applied Graph Data Science gives readers both the conceptual foundations and technical methods for applying these powerful techniques.
