The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics has always provided a broad range of critically evaluated data in a convenient, one-volume format, and has never lost touch with the need to stay current. Over the last ten years, revisions to the Handbook have kept up with advances in semiconductors and high-temperature superconductors; addresses environmental concerns by providing data on pollutants, contaminants, global warming, and ground water contamination; addressses increased concerns about health by providing tables of nutritional data; and revised pertinent data to stay up-to-date with IUPAC standards.

Choice Review

Chemistry collections of any stripe cannot avoid purchasing CRC Handbook, essential for every science collection. Few sources are so densely packed with information, and for physical properties of organic and inorganic compounds, there is no rival. This latest edition expands the "Critical Constants of Fluids" section, adds a table for "Fermi Energy and Related Properties of Metals," updates "Chemical Carcinogens," and adds laboratory test result data. Compounds included are those most frequently used in education and industry, emphasizing those implicated as health hazards. The most heavily used section, "Physical Constants of Organic Compounds," is now arranged alphabetically by substance name rather than by parent compound, and structure diagrams are now integrated with the data. ^BSumming Up: Essential.
