It Led to the Institutionalisation of Arabic Studies At Oxford and Cambridge Universities Where Arabic Chairs Were Set Up and Immense Manuscript Collections Were Established and Utilised. Fourteen Historians Examine the Extent and Sources of This Arabic Interest in Areas Ranging From Religion, Astronomy, Mathematics, Medicine, Philosophy and From Alchemy to Botany"...

ROBERT L. RIEMER joined the staff of the National Research Council in 1985. He served as Senior Program Officer for the two most recent decadal surveys of astronomy and astrophysics and has worked on studies in many areas of physics and astronomy for the Board on Physics and Astronomy (where he served as associate director from 1988 to 2000) and the Space Studies Board. Prior to joining the NRC, Dr. Riemer was a senior project geophysicist with Chevron Corporation. He received his Ph.D. in experimental high-energy physics from the University of Kansas-Lawrence and his B.S. in physics and astrophysics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. 

Martin Smalley worked as a professional research scientist from 1980 to 2000, with the exception of two years when he trained and worked as a physics teacher. In the late 1980s, after spells in theoretical physics at the Universities of Erlangen-Niimberg and Oxford, he started investigating clays at the Physical Chemistry Laboratory, Oxford University, and the Department of Polymer Chemistry, Kyoto University. He became interested in polymers on an ERATO (Exploratory Research for Advanced Technology) project in Japan in the mid-1990s, and pursued his studies of colloids and polymers as a lecturer in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, University College London. This book summarizes the 36 papers (21 experimental, 15 theoretical) he has written on clays and colloids. 

We are made of the same stuff as the stars, so when we study astronomy we are in a way only investigating our remote ancestry and our place in the universe of star stuff. Our very bodies consist of the same chemical elements found in the most distant nebulae.69... 

Science attempts to understand and explain our observations in nature and the universe, Chemistry, a branch ot science, studies the chemical and physical properties of matter. Chemistry plays a fundamental role in understanding particular concepts of biology, physics, astronomy, geology, and other disciplines of science. Arguably, chemistry is the central science.

An online resource on this topic is available at (30). This webpage was developed by Aeree Chung and Ben Johnson at Columbia University in conjunction with their astronomy lab. The pages give an overview of the electromagnetic spectrum, and outline applications of spectroscopy to astronomical studies. Included are pictorial representations of astronomical observations with brief descriptions, and information on observational instrumentation. Also discussed are the distinctions between continuum,... 

Likwan Cheng received a M.E. degree (1988) from Cornell University and a Ph.D. (1998) from Northwestern University. From 1988-1991, he was a staff member of the Laboratory for Planetary Studies at Cornell University, where he synthesized an analog of cometary material that has since become a widely used property standard in the astronomy community. He is currently a postdoctoral associate in Argonne National Laboratory s Environmental Research Division, where he has studied mineral-water interactions using X-rays.
