Eyring dedication

This paper is dedicated to Professor Henry Eyring with sincere respect and gratitude, on his seventieth birthday, for his outstanding contribution to quantum chemistry. 

Professor Henry Eyring has been a leader in the field of reaction kinetics for almost forty years. His work has not only established a pattern for the expert in the field but it has changed the way scientists generally think about kinetics his influence is ubiquitous. The work described here is a probing into the mechanism of ion-molecule reactions. We feel we owe much to the Eyring tradition and are honored to have this paper in a volume dedicated to him. 

It is a pleasure to dedicate this short paper to Professor Henry Eyring, whose versatility and originality in several distinct fields of science are matched only by his gaiety of spirit and dedication to his work. It is not given to many people to write a textbook which should remain standard reading for more than twenty-five years and be completely described by the names of its authors. Yet so well-known is his Quantum Chemistry, written in collaboration with John Walter and George Kimball, that as soon as it was published in 1944 no one bothered about the title it was sufficient to refer simply to Eyring, Walter, and Kimball. ... 

Finally, again, it is a great pleasure for us to publish this book in honor of a great scientist. Prof Dr. Leroy Eyring, who has dedicated his life for studying the physics and chemistry of rare earth oxides. 

The editors are much obliged to all those who cooperated in bringing this project to a successful close. In the first place, we thank the authors of the individual chapters. We are also grateful to Publishing Manager, Dr. Liesbeth Mol and the staffs of Mrs. Vaska Krabbe and Mrs. Marianne van den Hurk, Kluwer Academic Publishers. Finally, it is our great honor to dedicate this book to Professor Dr. LeRoy Eyring, who is a professor emeritus at Arizona State University and has done an enormous contribution not only to rare earth oxides but also to all aspects of rare earths.

This volume of the Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earth begins with a Dedication to late Professor LeRoy Eyring who had been a committed co-editor of the first 32 volumes of this series. The Dedication is written by Professor Karl Gschneidner Jr., Professor Emeritus Harry A. Eick, Dr. Zhenchuan Kang, Professor Emeritus Michael O Keeffe, and Professor Emeritus Edgar E. Westrum, and contains a detailed vita of Professor LeRoy Eyring.
