"This course is a presentation of the types of matter: what they are, how they behave, why they behave that way, and what they're used for."-- p. 1 of guidebook.

"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...

"Nitrenes and Nitrenium ions are reactive intermediates with monovalent nitrogen atoms. These intermediates have diverse reactivity and physical properties, depending on their structure and spin state. The leading experts in nitrene chemistry have contributed to this book to highlight how spectroscopy and calculations have been used to characterize various nitrene intermediates. Emphasizes have also been placed on identifying the diverse methods to...
