The Chemistry of Art-A
Sequel
The articles presented in this collection provide an overview o f the chemistry involved in many of the applied fields of art. For a similar collection of articles emphasizing the theoretical interface between chemistry and art. readers are advised t o look a t the April, 1980 issue of this JOURNAL. I wish to express my sincere thanks t o the authors who contributed to these special collections. We applaud their interest in chemical education and gratefully appreciate their effort. If YOU would like us t o continue t o provide collections of this type, send a note indicating your preferences and if possible a list of potential contributors. Your input is appreciated.
