You have just purchased or stolen the most comprehensive and detailed book on the underground production of ecstasy, metham-phetamine and psychedelic amphetamines ever published. Strike (your host) is an ecstasy and amphetamine chemist from Texas who used to be very frustrated with the lack of common-sense information about the production of amphetamines. Strike remedied this for Strike and now Strike is gonna remedy it for you, too. This book is packed with the latest street methods for making amphetamines - written in plain English with the detail that no other book can offer. 

W. Mendenhall, Introduction to EinearMode/s and the Design andAna/ysis of Experiments, Duxbury Press, Belmont, Calif., 1968. This book provides an introduction to basic concepts and the most popular experimental designs without going into extensive detail. In contrast to most other books, the emphasis in the development of many of the underlying models and analysis methods is on a regression, rather than an analysis-of-variance, viewpoint. 

Many successful types of reactors are illustrated throughout this section. Additional sketches may be found in other books on this topic, particularly in Walas Chemical Process Equipment Selection and Design, Butterworths, 1990) and Ullmann Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology (in German), vol. 3, Verlag Chemie, 1973, pp. 321-518). 

There are a number of other books which provide concise graphical summaries of multistep synthetic sequences leading to complex naturally occurring molecules. This literature includes references 1-7 which follow. 

Despite the lack of interest in human factors issues in the CPI in the past, the situation is now changing. In 1985, Trevor Kletz published his landmark book on human error in the CPI An Engineer s View of Human Error (revised in 1991). Several other books by the same author e.g., Kletz (1994b) have also addressed the issue of human factors in case studies. Two other publications have also been concerned specifically with human factors in the process industry Lorenzo (1990) was commissioned by the Chemical Manufacturers Association in the USA, and Mill (1992), published by the U.K. Institution of Chemical Engineers. In 1992, CCPS and other organizations sponsored a conference on Human Factors and Human Reliability in Process Safety (CCPS, 1992c). This was further evidence of the growing interest in the topic within the CPI. 

A book about ionic liquids Over three hundred pages Why Who needs it Why bother These aren t simply rhetorical questions, but important ones of a nature that must be addressed whenever considering the publication of any new book. In the case of this one, as two other books about ionic liquids will appear in 2002, the additional question of differentiation arises - how is this distinctive from the other two All are multi-author works, and some of the authors have contributed to all three books. 

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 ... 

Other Books Containing Articles of Relevance to Organometallic Chemistry... 

PHILLIP MANNING is the author of four other books and 150 or so magazine and newspaper articles. His most recent book. Islands of Hope, won the 1999 National Outdoor Book Award for nature and the environment. Manning has a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His Web site (www.scibooks.org) offers a weekly list of new books of science and science book reviews. 

He is the author of two other books. Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics (1962) and Vector Analysis in Chemistry (1974), and has published research articles on the theory of optical rotation, statistical mechanical theory of transport processes, nonequilibrium thermodynamics, molecular quantum mechanics, theory of liquids, intermolecular forces, and surface phenomena. 

In addition, Chapter 6 has three additional tear agents, mixtures that are not included in the other book on chemical warfare.

To our benefit, fluorescence is a well-observed phenomenon characteristic for many materials. This allows providing broad selection of fluorescence reporters that have to be chosen according to different criteria high molar absorbance and fluorescence quantum yield, convenient wavelengths of excitation and emission, high chemical stability, and photostability. They are well-described in other chapters of this book and in other books of these series. As we will see subsequently, they should be adapted to particular technique of target detection and to particular method of observation of fluorescence response, which needs establishing additional criteria for their selection. 

Phenomenological discussion of them may be found in many other books and papers. 

Cotton, F. A., Wilkinson, G., Murillo, C. A., and Bochmann, M. (1999). Advanced Inorganic Chemistry, 6th ed. This book is the yardstick by which other books that cover the chemistry of the elements are measured. Several chapters present detailed coverage of the chemistry of metals. 

Two daunting questions face the authors of prospective textbooks. (1) For whom is the book intended (2) What makes it different from other books intended for the same audience We first address these questions. 

The aim has been to include all those processes that are known by special names, of whatever origin. Of course, only a minority of industrial chemical processes are distinguished by the possession of special names, so this book does not attempt to include all of even the more important processes. Overviews of the industry are provided by other books, notably the encyclopaedias listed below. Many named processes are included in such works, but only a fraction of the names in the present compilation are to be found in them. 

Other reviews related to this contribution should also be mentioned, in addition to the chapters of this series, which we shall recall later. Some of these deal in general with the problem of classification of indole alkaloids and with chemo-taxonomic investigation (7-5). The chemistry of indole alkaloids is included in the Royal Society of Chemistry s Specialist Periodical Reports and has been extensively reviewed in a one-volume survey edited by J. E. Saxton (6), presenting a reasonably complete, although not exhaustive, picture of the state of the art. Other books on indole alkaloid chemistry treating this area cursorily should also be mentioned (7, 8). Recently, the genus Tabernaemontana was excellently reviewed, particularly with respect to taxonomy, phytochemistry, ethnobotany, and pharmacology (9).
