A chemical name should not be a phrase. In the early days of chemistry prior to the general acceptance of atomic and subsequent theories, many substances were characterized by clumsy and inconvenient expressions derived from various associations. Examples of these would include "oil of vitriol, "butter of antimony, "cream of tartar, "flowers of zinc, "liver of sulfur, "milk of lime, "sugar of lead, "spirits of nitre, etc. Very possibly de Morveau anticipated the probability that the substances designated by such names would occasionally, by careless classification, become indexed under "oil "butter, "cream, "flowers, "liver, "milk, and "sugar, and thus be withdrawn from the chemist to the kitchen. Despite his warning, however, chemical names were frequently rendered as phrases for the next one hundred years and such forms as "acetate of sodium, "peroxide of hydrogen, and "permanganate of potash have only recently disappeared from texts and books of reference. 

Conformity in spelling results in the same alphabetical order of chemical terms, irrespective of the language. A chemist frequently uses compilations of chemical data and subject indexes of journals and books of reference in languages other than his own. It is inconvenient to search for quinoline under q in an English journal, but under ch (Chinolin) in a German and under k (kinolin) in a Scandinavian journal. Even such small differences as thorium and torium, rhodium and rodium, rhamnose and ramnose are inconvenient and may cause important references to be missed.

A second aim of this book is certainly to stimulate research in the field of synthetic radical chemistry. Indeed, even if some of the synthetic methods presented here are beautifully optimized, radical chemistry offers unique possibilities for further exploration. We are optimistic that this book will become a source of inspiration for future developments in the field. We also hope that practitioners of the art of synthetic organic chemistry, researchers ready to embark on their own careers, and students will all find these two volumes a worthy book of reference. 

Constants for chemical compounds are to be found in the usual books of reference, e.g. [235], but the published figures should be considered critically. Considerable... 

The Handbook of Adhesion is intended as a book of reference in the field of adhesion. Adhesion is a phenomenon of interest in diverse scientific disciplines and of importance in a wide range of technologies. Therefore, the scope of this handbook includes the background science (physics, chemistry and materials science) and engineering and aspects of adhesion relevant to the use of adhesives, sealants and mastics, paints and coatings, printing and composite materials. 

The most accessible reference to, and discussion of, the work of Lewis Fry Richardson on the Indeterminacy of Natural Coastlines is to be found in the books of Reference 1. 

The role of coenzymes I and II in many processes of yeasts has been studied sufficiently for quantitative details of interactions of the pure compounds with crystalline or highly purified enz3unes to be available in books of reference and reviews (34,91,103,104). No account of such reactions is attempted here. The synthesis and degradation of the coenzymes in yeast is, on the other hand, much less clearly defined and forms the main subject of the present account.
