Solid State Chemistry of Energy Conversion and Storage edited by John B. Goodenough, University of Oxford and M. Stanley Whittingham, Exxon Research and Engineering Co. Advances in Chemistry Series No. 163 This volume stresses the challenge the chemist faces in using sunlight as an alternate energy source. The various chapters identify problems, that, if solved, would introduce economically competitive options for energy conversion, storage, and conservation. Specific topics include hydrogen as energy carrier, solar energy conversion through photosynthesis, photovoltaic solar cells, wavelength-selective surfaces, new solid electrolytes, the sodium-sulfur battery, and high temperature electrolysis/fuel cells. 371 pages Cloth (1977) $38.50 LC 77-20011 ISBN 0-8412-0358-X Minicomputers and Large Scale Computations edited by Peter Lykos, Illinois Institute of Technology ACS Symposium Series No. 57 A representative group of highly-qualified scientists and engineers describe their experiences in adapting scientific calculations to so-called minicomputers. Specific topics discussed include large scale simulation, APL level languages in analysis, the minicomputer and x-ray crystallography, a minicomputer number-cruncher, molecular dynamics calculations, theoretical chemistry via minicomputer, data acquisition, and complex fluid mechanics calculations. 239 pages Cloth (1977) $21.50 LC 77-15932 ISBN 0-8412-0387-3 Coal Desulfurization: Chemical and Physical Methods edited by Thomas D. Wheelock, Iowa State University ACS Symposium Series No. 64 Covers research on industrial processes and methods for removing sulfur from coal. Both chemical and physical extraction methods that are used currently or that are being adopted currently by industry are reviewed. Twenty-three chapters are divided into four groups covering sulfur in coal and its determination; physical methods for removing sulfur from coal; extraction of sulfur from coal by reaction and leaching; and removal of sulfur by pyrolysis, hydrodesulfurization, and other gas-solid reactions. 332 pages Cloth (1977) $25.00 LC 77-17216 ISBN 0-8412-0400-4 4th Joint Conference on Sensing of Environmental Pollutants November 6-11, 1977, New Orleans, La. conference proceedings on environmental chemistry, sulfur measurements, biological effects caused by pollutants, environmental indicators and contaminants, standards and quality assurance, weather and climate modification by pollution, value of baseline studies in impact assessment, network design and data systems, pollution meteorology, radioactive pollutants, individual exposure monitoring, remote sensing of water, air, and land pollution by satellite, disposal of hazardous and nontoxic materials, water quality, biological and health effects, instrumentation, pollution^ source, monitoring, new analytical techniques, sensing in tfie "coastal zone, upper air composition changes, aerosol composition, fossil and nuclear fuels, and urban and rural sensing and assessment. 945 pages Paperbound (1978) $50.00 ISBN 0-8412-0411-X 12th Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference August 28-September 2, 1977, Washington, D.C. conference proceedings dealing with new aspects of energy use, conversion, and conservation.
