Lavoisier

Jean-Pierre Poirier University of Pennsylvania Press

Originally published in French in 1993 (Editions Pygmalion/Gerard Watelet, Paris), and expanded and revised for this translation. The founder of modern chemistry, Lavoisier (1743-1794) was active on commisions connected with agriculture, gunpowder, banking, and finance, and was ultimately executed during the Reign of Terror. This biography recounts Lavoisier's scientific accomplishments and his role in the chemical revolution and early history of organic chemistry and physiology; but it is in the examination of his political and economic activities and accomplishments that it breaks new ground.

El Libro De La Artritis Reumatoide

Bonifacio Álvarez Lario Ediciones Díaz de Santos

Este libro, escrito por un médico reumatólogo, está pensado para los pacientes, e intenta dar respuestas a sus preocupaciones y a los temas que les interesan. Este no es un libro para diagnosticar la artritis reumatoide; el diagnostico de la enfermedad corresponde al médico. De ninguna manera es un libro para automedicarse: el tratamiento de su enfermedad corresponde igualmente a su médico. Es un libro dirigido a mejorar la información al paciente sobre su enfermedad, no para proporcionar cuidados médicos. El libro aparece dividido en dos partes. En la primera se ofrece información general sobre la enfermedad. La segunda parte está dedicada fundamentalmente a los cuidados personales, consejos y autoayuda del paciente con artritis reumatoide. No es una novela para leerla de un tirón. Si la primera se le hace pesada, puede pasar a la segunda parte que es más práctica y amena. Ya irá leyendo poco a poco la información sobre la enfermedad. Para los que se les haga pesadas la lectura de todo el texto y para reforzar las ideas generales, al final de cada capítulo aparece un recuadro con las recomendaciones generales o puntos clave más importantes y prácticos para el paciente.

Macmillan Encyclopedia Of Chemistry

J. J. Lagowski MacMillan Reference Library

Comprehensive and up-to-date, this unique four-volume set offers readers a complete overview of the broad spectrum of general chemistry. It enables them to obtain a basic, yet thorough understanding of matter, the processes it undergoes, the principles that govern it, and the international cast of men and women who have been critical in the development of the science of chemistry. From elements, atoms, and molecules to terochemistry, spectroscopy, and chemical bonding, its clear and concise explanations provide an illuminating and readily comprehensible introduction. Key presentations include forty element definition articles, each providing basic periodic table information and general information on the element in question. Ninety-five biographical articles deal with prominent chemists, while other articles provide additional historical context, particularly with respect to eighteenth-, nineteenth-, and twentieth-century developments.
