Introducing Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry - Fourth Edition
Revised edition Chemistry p3 introducing inorganic, organic and physical chemistry / Andrew Burrows, John Holman, Andrew Parsons, Gwen Pilling, Gareth Price. Third edition. [2017].
In the Eighth Edition of this classic text on the financial history of bubbles and crashes, Robert McCauley joins with Robert Aliber in building on Charles Kindleberger's renowned work. McCauley draws on his central banking experience to introduce new chapters on cryptocurrency and the United States as the 21st Century global lender of last resort. He also updates the book's coverage of the recent property bubble in China, as well as providing new perspectives on the US housing bubble of 2003-2006, and the Japanese bubble of the late 1980s. And he gives new attention to the social psychology that leads people to take the risk of investing in Ponzi schemes and asset price bubbles. For the first time in this revised and updated edition, figures highlight key points to ensure that today’s generation of finance and economic researchers, students, practitioners and policy-makers—as well as investors looking to avoid crashes—have access to this panoramic history of financial crisis.
Leading you from the fundamental principles of inorganic chemistry right through to cutting-edge research at the forefront of the subject, Inorganic Chemistry is the ideal course companion for the duration of your degree
Inorganic chemistry is a crucial pillar of undergraduate chemistry education. The fourth edition of this text reaffirms its importance by offering enhanced stimulation, insights, and support for students to grasp the fundamentals. The new author team, with a strong background in teaching and research, has completely revised the book to improve accessibility. They have expanded explanations, adopted a less formal writing style, and assumed a lower level of mathematical and chemical knowledge, while maintaining the depth and rigor of previous editions. Coverage of the chemistry of the elements has been extended, providing a solid framework for students' understanding. The new edition aims to inspire students with 'Frontiers' chapters on contemporary topics such as materials science, nanotechnology, biological inorganic chemistry, and environmental chemistry. These chapters, along with real-life examples, encourage engagement with the subject. The text features a new full-color design to further stimulate and engage students. An Online Resource Centre complements the book, offering 3D rotating molecular models, electronic illustrations, web links, and additional questions, with a solutions manual available for adopters.
