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. The current list of Specialist Periodical Reports can
be seen on the inside flap of this volume.

During the past fifteen years commercial interest in compounds
containing carbon fluorine bonds has burgeoned beyond all
expectations, mainly owing to business opportunities arising from
work on biologically active fluoroorganics-particularly
agrochemicals, the relentless search for new markets for
fluoropolymers and fluoro carbon fluids, developments in the field
of medical diagnostics, and the drive to find replacements for
ozone-depleting CFCs and Halon fire-extinguishing agents. Judging
the situation to warrant the publication of a comprehensive
collection of up-to-date reviews dealing with commercial
organofluorine compounds within a single volume of manageable size
(and hence reasonable cost), we were delighted to be invited by
Plenum Publishing Corporation to produce a suitable book. In order
to provide an authentic and wide-ranging account of current
commercial applications of fluoroorganic materials, it clearly was
necessary to assemble a sizeable team of knowledgeable contributing
authors selected almost entirely from industry. Through their
efforts we have been able to produce an almost complete coverage of
the modem organofluorochemicals business in a manner designed to
attract a reader ship ranging from experts in the field, through
chemists and technologists currently unaware of the extent of
industrial involvement with fluoroorganics, to students of applied
chemistry. Promised chapters dedicated to perfluoroolefin oxides
and 18F labeling of radiopharmaceuticals failed to materialize.
This is somewhat unfortunate in view of our aim to achieve
comprehensive coverage of the subject.

"Exotic Small Mammal Care and Husbandry" is a practical reference
for assessing, handling, and treating small exotic animals in the
veterinary clinic. Covering common species such as mice, hamsters,
rabbits, and ferrets, the book focuses on nursing care, giving
veterinary staff the information they need to work with these
less-common patients. With information on basic anatomy,
preventative care, and common diseases, "Exotic Small Mammal Care
and Husbandry" provides a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of
caring for small exotic mammals and communicating with owners.
This volume brings together contributions by leading researchers
covering a wide scope so characteristic of fluorine chemistry. It
is a monograph of historical character comprising personalized
accounts of progress and events in areas of particular interest.
There is also much to interest and instruct chemists from other
disciplines as a good proportion of the chapters contain a
considerable amount of 'hard' referenced information relating to
modern organic, organoelemental and inorganic chemistry. Historians
of chemistry and technology will no doubt be tempted to dip into
this book, and surely whoever addresses the task of commemorating
Moissan's achievement at the 150-years stage will bless us all in
some measure for its existence.
Progress in today's high-technology industries is strongly
associated with the development of new mathematical tools. A
typical illustration of this partnership is the mathematical
modelling and numerical simulation of electric circuits and
semiconductor devices. At the second Oberwolfach conference devoted
to this important and timely field, scientists from around the
world, mainly applied mathematicians and electrical engineers from
industry and universities, presented their new results. Their
contributions, forming the body of this work, cover electric
circuit simulation, device simulation and process simulation.
Discussions on experiences with standard software packages and
improvements of such packages are included. In the semiconductor
area special lectures were given on new modelling approaches,
numerical techniques and existence and uniqueness results. In this
connection, mention is made, for example, of mixed finite element
methods, an extension of the Baliga-Patankar technique for a three
dimensional simulation, and the connection between semiconductor
equations and the Boltzmann equations.
