Surface Preparation and Microscopy of Materials Brian BousefieM. Wiley: New York, NY, 1992. xiv + 342 pp. Figs. and tables. 19.4 x 25.4 cm.

This hook is devoted to the svstematic preparation of a vast range of material surfaces and look'inbetail a t the uroblem of microstructural traceabilitv. Desimed to be of practical use, the book has been writ& in two parts. In the first part, the book systematically defines the essential procedures involved in surface preparation. Early chapters discuss sectioning, grinding and polishing to develop an understanding of the various factors that need to be considered in the preparation of different types of surfaces. The second part of the book illustrates the best use of microscopy by discussing, in depth, the different features that contribute to informative analysis. Topi- covered include objective aberrations, how to improve images, illumination svstems and interference. as well as general -----photomicmgr~phicaltechniques. complete with coibr photomicroaanhs and fullv illustrated throuphout. this book provides a reference for researchers and technicians who are interested in a comprehensive overview of microstruetural analysis. ~

This laboratory handbook is a treatise on technical procedures employed in the X-ray fluorescent analysis of a wide range of inorganic materials, specifically using the fused casebead method. The first half is concerned with the theory of processes involved but is presented from a practical standpoint. Kinetic Theory and Irreversible Thermodynamics Byung Chan Eu.

Organized on a produ&category basis, this book provides an overview of the cosmetics and toiletries industry in a readily digestible form. The book is written from the ~ o i nof t view of the chemist. but economic and market aspects are extensively d i m b e d . The authors discuss the rationale of raw material selection, the formulation and development of products that meet the demands of an international market place, product performance, and safety and quality asp&. Regulatory issues are considered from a worldwide perspective.

This is a video package, released by the ACS Education Division, that contains a 15-minute videotape and a 51page User's guide. The video lets students see real people involved in the ldnd of chemistry that produces compact discs, fabrics and their dyes, recyclable soda bottles, and antiperspirants. It also shows chemists who use their science background in fields like ecotoxicology, publishing, and law. The Users Guide is designed to assist teachers, guidance counselors, and visiting chemists in the middle and high school classroom by providing several follow-up activities that can be used with students a h r viewing the videotape.

Since the first edition of this book appeared in 1987, many new issues involved in the cos&effectivedesign of new laboratories or the renovation of old facilities have arisen. This new edition beeins bv ~resentinzthe common elements of laboratory design, loogng squarely at building and laboratory eonsiderations which include what sort of materials are used, what types of operations occur within the site, and the health and safety issues related to the entire laboratory building. In addition to all the various laboratories discussed in the firstedition, ranping h m the general chemistry laboratory to the physics laboratory to the biosafety laboratory, two new types of laboratories are presented. The microelectronics laboratory is included in an extension of the chapter on clean rooms that addresses clean room operations where extremely hazardous materials are used. Achapter on prinbmaking laboratories is included where such activities as lithography, screen printing and intaglio and relief processes are carried out. The chapter on the teaching laboratory has been expanded to reflect the trend toward microscale techniques and the resultant design considerations. A new part has been added to this edition that discusses the support services needed for laboratory operations. These include photographic darkrooms, support rooms for Volume 70 Number 1 January 1993
