"Completely revised and updated with new topical material, the second edition of Bioinorganic Chemistry summarizes in one comprehensive volume the current knowledge on the role of inorganic elements in biological processes and their application as biological agents. Now in full color, each chapter has been fully revised and updated to take account of the latest developments. An important reference for researchers and students, this classic text features...

Introduces the world of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Learn how atoms and molecules combine to form ordinary objects, such as a chair, the water in a glass, and even people.

"This book will capture the essential scope of organic chemistry of all main group elements and covers all main group elements dealing with syntheses and reactions of their organic compounds. While organic compounds of second row elements centered at carbon are the major components of animals and plants, those of the third row and below are also important and have unique roles which this book discusses. The first eight chapters are arranged according...

"This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of geochemistry. The book first lays out the 'geochemical toolbox': the basic principles and techniques of modern geochemistry, beginning with a review of thermodynamics and kinetics as they apply to the Earth and its environs. These basic concepts are then applied to understanding processes in aqueous systems and the behavior of trace elements in magmatic systems. Subsequent chapters introduce...
