When this innovative textbook first appeared in 1984 it rapidly
became a great success throughout the world and has already been
translated into several European and Asian languages. Now the
authors have completely revised and updated the text, including
more than 2000 new literature references to work published since
the first edition. No page has been left unaltered but the novel
features which proved so attractive have been retained. The book
presents a balanced, coherent and comprehensive account of the
chemistry of the elements for both undergraduate and postgraduate
students. This crucial central area of chemistry is full of
ingenious experiments, intriguing compounds and exciting new
discoveries. The authors specifically avoid the term inorganic
chemistry' since this evokes an outmoded view of chemistry which is
no longer appropriate in the final decade of the 20th century.
Accordingly, the book covers not only the 'inorganic' chemistry of
the elements, but also analytical, theoretical, industrial,
organometallic, bio-inorganic and other cognate areas of chemistry.
The authors have broken with recent tradition in the teaching of
their subject and adopted a new and highly successful approach
based on descriptive chemistry. The chemistry of the elements is
still discussed within the context of an underlying theoretical
framework, giving cohesion and structure to the text, but at all
times the chemical facts are emphasized. Students are invited to
enter the exciting world of chemical phenomena with a sound
knowledge and understanding of the subject, to approach
experimentation with an open mind, and to assess observations
reliably. This is a book that students will not only value during
their formal education, but will keep and refer to throughout their
careers as chemists.
