For a look at the present and future in chemistry look in at Wiley (booth C-3)* METHODS OF WOOD CHEMISTRY Volumes 1 and 2 By B. L. BROWNING, The Institute of Paper Chemistry. Now—in readily available form —are all the important experimental methods used in studying the composition and chemistry of wood, wood components, and certain derived products. The major components of wood — cellulose and other carbohydrates, lignin, and the extractive components—are treated in detail. Vol. 1: 1967. $15.00. Vol. 2: 1967. In press.
MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY By HARRY G. HECHT, Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico. Introduces the whole field and emphasizes the relationship of resonance parameters to molecular structure. The structural information that can be inferred through the study of resonance parameters is discussed. In addition to the well-known NMR, EPR, and NQR techniques, the book includes such recent developments as spin tickling, decoupling, and electron-nuclear double resonance. A Wiley book. 1967. Approx. 192 pages. Prob. $5.95.
CRYSTAL STRUCTURES
Second Edition
Volume 5: The Structures of Aliphatic Compounds By RALPH W. G. WYCKOFF, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona. In this volume aliphatic compounds have been drastically rearranged for better unity (as compared with the original loose-leaf edition). The choice of structures is made either to find an answer to a specific question of structural chemistry or because of real or fancied relationships within a group of compounds. All new drawings for this and succeeding volumes will use right-hand axes. 1966. 785 pages. $25.00.
TOPICS IN PHOSPHORUS CHEMISTRY Volume 4 Editors: MARTIN GRAYSON, American Cyanamid Co.; and EDWARD J. GRIFFITH, Monsanto Chemical Co. The latest volume in this series devoted to the chemistry of inorganic and organic phosphorus compounds and their biological significance. Topics include: The Structures and Reactions of Cyclopolyphosphines; The Natural Occurrence of Compounds with the Carbon-Phosphorus Bond; Photochemical and Radiation-Induced Reactions of Phosphorus Compounds; The Chemistry of Phosphorus Halides. Vol. 4:1967. 529 pages. $25.00.
