Books for Further Reading

The following organizations can provide additional resources and recommend books for further reading. 

Spin eigenfunctions is described in great detail by Pauncz [1, 2] and we refer to these books for further reading. Here, we will describe the main characteristics of the method and illustrate it with a system with four unpaired electrons localized on two or three magnetic centers as shown in Fig. 1.2. 

Within the scope of this book, the authors can describe only some of the features of protamines and nucleoprotamines. They would like to recommend the following reviews or books for further reading on protamines, histones, and nucleoproteins. 

This chapter on fundamentals of corrosion tries to give an introduction to the basics of physical chemistry, electrochemistry, thermodynamics, surface science, and surface analysis. It addresses to graduate students and informed scientists and tries to call back in mind the basis to understand the physics and chemistry of corrosion phenomena. All these topics may not be described in detail in this chapter, and reference is given to some books for further reading general physical chemistry [1], electrochemistry and electrode kinetics [2-4], surface analytical methods [5,6], and corrosion [7,8]. 

In summary, then, design with polymers requires special attention to time-dependent effects, large elastic deformation and the effects of temperature, even close to room temperature. Room temperature data for the generic polymers are presented in Table 21.5. As emphasised already, they are approximate, suitable only for the first step of the design project. For the next step you should consult books (see Further reading), and when the choice has narrowed to one or a few candidates, data for them should be sought from manufacturers data sheets, or from your own tests. Many polymers contain additives - plasticisers, fillers, colourants - which change the mechanical properties. Manufacturers will identify the polymers they sell, but will rarely disclose their... 

The full technical details of these processes are beyond the scope of this book (see Further reading for further enlightenment), but it is worth having a slightly closer look at them to get a feel for the engineering context in which each is used. 

As indicated in the Preface, this book does not claim to be comprehensive. Fortunately there are a number of other books which cover all or some aspects of diazo chemistry and can be recommended for further reading. Some of these will be mentioned briefly in this section. Older books are not included. The latter are still useful, however, for chemists who are interested in the future of their science not just from a pragmatic viewpoint, but also with regard to identifying potentially fruitful future scientific developments based on old problems. Such problems were frequently not followed up in the past because no suitable methods or theoretical concepts were available at that time - but the necessary methods may be already available today or may become so in the future ... 

There is a wide range of reagents available for derivatization and the analyst is again referred to the books by Frei and Lawrence (17) and Karl Blau and John Halket (47) for further reading. The references given here have been chosen as those that are most likely to include the complete details of the derivatizing procedures. They were not chosen as the most contemporary examples of analyses employing derivatization techniques. 

Most suggestions for further reading are given in full in the Bibliography at the end of this book. However, in view of the specialised nature of the topics discussed in this chapter it is worth citing a list of further reading which concentrates on mechanical properties of polymers. They are ... 

The Internet has become the best source for thermodynamic data. Run a search on something like chemical thermodynamic data on any serious search engine, and you will hnd multiple sources, most of which allow free downloads. The data in the standard handbooks, e.g. Perry s Handbook (see Suggestions for Further Reading section of Chapter 5), are still correct but rather capricious in scope and likely to be expressed in archaic units like those sprinkled here and there in this book. 

Simon Garfield. Mauve How One Man Invented a Colour that Changed the World. London Faber Faber, 2000. A recent book recommended for further reading. 

At the end of each chapter, several books are listed for further reading on the subject but it is suggested that the following books would be suitable for further reading on the topic of biochemistry of amino acids, carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. 

Throughout this book, we will list resources for further reading at the end of each chapter. You should think of these lists as pointers to help you learn about topics we have mentioned or simplified in a detailed way. We have made no attempt to make these lists exhaustive in any sense (to understand why, find out how many textbooks exist dealing with quantum mechanics in some form or another). 

Photoelectron spectroscopy has been presented in many review articles and books. Therefore here only a brief description is given with special emphasis on actinides. For further reading, some selected literature is recommended " . ... 

The following books are suggested for further reading about immobilized biocatalysts. Rosevear, A., Keimedy, J.F. and Cabral, J.M.S. (1987) Immobilized Enzymes and cells. Bristol, England lOP Publishing Ltd. 

For further reading of error analysis, the following books are useful Beers (1957), Baird (1988), Bevington and Robinson (1992), and Taylor (1997). 

We direct the reader to the book by Davies (1969) for further reading about wave propagation in the ionosphere. 

There are other close-range forces related to entropy changes, including various interactions between solution species and a solid surface, such as solvation (in water, hydration) forces. Hydration forces can occur when hydrated cations are adsorbed at interacting surfaces. As these surfaces approach each other closely, loss of water of hydration is necessary in order to allow closer approach. While these forces can be repulsive, attractive or oscillating, they are most likely to be repulsive under the conditions of CD. Such forces may be very important for CD, which is almost always carried out in the presence of a high ionic concentration. For example they could be a cause of poor adhesion of some CD films. Solvation forces are treated in detail in Israelachvili s book—see Further Reading at the end of this chapter, Forces subsection. 

Tufte s books on this topic, The Visual Display of Quantitative Information (1983), Envisioning Information (1990) and Visual Explanations (1997/ are recommended for further reading. 

Finally, I would like to cite the following books and reviews as references for further reading on MCD. 

The general level of the book is suitable for final year undergraduate students of chemistry as well as for post-graduate students. In addition, it should be a useful source of information for professional scientists and teachers who may find it valuable for the preparation of courses and seminars devoted to photochemistry in the broadest sense. The mathematics have been kept deliberately simple, without any lengthy derivation of important equations for which a qualitative interpretation is sufficient for our purpose. The suggestions for Further Reading provide references to source books and original publications for readers who wish to go into more details in these fields. 

For further reading we suggest several excellent books on the specifics of mass spectrometry ... 

This chapter will highlight the positive effects of phenolic compounds on human health. This is by no means meant to be an exhaustive presentation of all the literature available on this topic. An entire book could be dedicated to it, and such books indeed exist. Several references for further reading are provided at the end of this chapter.
