A self-educated man who knew no mathematics, Michael Faraday rose
from errand boy to become one of Britain's greatest scientists.
Faraday made the discoveries upon which most of twentieth-century
technology is based and readers of this book will enjoy finding out
in how many ways we are indebted to him. The story of his life
speaks to us across the years and is a fascinating read, especially
when the tale is told with the understanding and gusto that
Professor Thomas-one of the UK's leading scientists-brings to the
telling. Faraday took great trouble to make the latest discoveries
of science, his own and others', intelligible to the layman, and
the tradition he fostered has been kept alive ever since, so that
the Royal Institution is as well known for its contributions to
education as for its research. Written in a concise, nontechnical
style, Michael Faraday and the Royal Institution: The Genius of Man
and Place is a human account that provides an introduction to the
roots of modern science and ways in which scientists work. The book
is lavishly illustrated with drawings, cartoons, photographs, and
letters-many never before published. There is no similar book on
Faraday that interprets his genius in modern, everyday terms,
making it understandable, interesting, and exciting reading for
scientists and nonscientists alike.

Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed
review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical
research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series
creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying
regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas
of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and
its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports
charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form
of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry
could no longer be contained within one volume and the series
Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports
themselves still existed but were divided into two, and
subsequently three, volumes covering Inorganic, Organic and
Physical Chemistry. For more general coverage of the highlights in
chemistry they remain a 'must'. Since that time the SPR series has
altered according to the fluctuating degree of activity in various
fields of chemistry. Some titles have remained unchanged, while
others have altered their emphasis along with their titles; some
have been combined under a new name whereas others have had to be
discontinued.

Catalysis occupies a pivotal position in the physical and
biological sciences. As well as being the mainstay of the chemical
industry, it is the means of effecting many laboratory syntheses
and the root cause of all enzymatic processes.
This book is an eminently readable introduction to the fundamental
principles of heterogeneous catalysis. Written by world-renowned
experts, it explains the vocabulary, grammar and literature of
catalysis from the laboratory-oriented model study through to the
operating plant.
Didactically skillful and using many lucidly designed figures, the
authors present an insightful exposition of all important concepts,
new developments and techniques in this rapidly advancing field.
This is a new release of the original 1931 edition.
Contributing Authors Include Owen Wister, Bradford K. Daniels, Ada
Pierce McCormick And Many Others.
The MRS Symposium Proceeding series is an internationally
recognised reference suitable for researchers and practitioners.
