LAB DIRECTORS, RESEARCHERS, TRAINING COORDINATORS
On-site group training for less than it costs to send two chemists to an out-of-town seminar ACS Audio-Teleconference Courses UPDATE YOUR STAFF Give every chemist on your staff the opportunity to participate in these timely courses taught by internationally recognized experts covering the most up-to-date information in two important subjects:
THE ROLE OF SMALL COMPUTERS IN THE LABORATORY February 21-24, 1984 Four 1 1/2 hour class sessions Taught by Dr. Raymond Dessy of Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Dr. James T. Arnold of Varian Associates and Dr. Keith J. Caserta of Proctor and Gamble Valuable for scientists and managers who currently work with computers in the laboratory or who are contemplating purchasing a computer.
Books tract from its value as a good single source for NMR basics. There are some errors in printing. A line is missing on p. 25. Figure A6.1(a) contains a label "y", which should be T 2 . The subject index is no more than adequate. For example, the PAPS technique is discussed in three chap ters, but the subject index cites only one. The same example also illustrates an awkwardness in cross-referencing within the text in that reference is made to chapter number, but chapter number is not included in either page heading or section heading. Overall, however, this is a fine handbook that is bound to become a valuable resource for most NMR spectroscopists. Its presentation is com plete and correct, and it covers the basic aspects of NMR. Although one hopes that the authors will revise it to accommodate significant develop ments since 1979, the present edition has lasting value.
ADVANCES IN THE PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY OF POLYMERS
Books Received
March 12-21, 1984 Five 1 1/2 hour class sessions Taught by Dr. James E.

Koenig of Case Western Reserve University Vital for experienced polymer scientists concerned about characterizing polymeric materials for the development of materials with specifically desired properties.

ECONOMICAL
ACS Audio-Teleconference Courses can be set up wherever you wish—at your plant or lab, in a classroom, office or meeting room.
ACS charges a flat registration fee for each participating group. So, whether two or forty attend, the cost to your organization is the same. For example, in a typical course with 20 people, the cost would be about $80 per person. For a group of 40, that would drop in half, to only $40 each. And there are no travel, hotel or per diem fees!
LIVE INTERACTION The authorities speak directly to you from their own offices on a telephone network established especially for each course. All participants can ask questions and discuss problems that interest them most.
