A rapidly growing interdisciplinary field, astrochemistry is the study of molecules and their chemistry in sources throughout the universe. In IAU S231, astronomers and chemists survey the current state of the field. The contributions in astronomy show how the study of molecules has aided our understanding of the physical conditions in many different types of regions, from the interstellar medium of our own galaxy to the very edge of the Universe. The contributions in laboratory and theoretical chemistry show how much we have learned about these often exotic chemical processes and how much more there is to learn. Suitable for researchers and graduate students in diverse disciplines, this volume will provide a sense both of the scope of astrochemistry in the early years of the twenty-first century and the immense possibilities of this field for future growth.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Not a textbook!,
By
This review is from: Astrochemistry: Recent Successes and Current Challenges (IAU S231) (Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union Symposia and Colloquia) (Hardcover)
This is a collection of papers that was presented during the IAU conference at Asilomar Beach (here in Monterey,CA no less). If you're interested in the field and can read scientific papers, it is really good stuff to have to check the pulse of research in this growing multi-disciplinary field. If you're looking for a primer or textbook of this field similar to Shaw's Astrochemistry, then not for you.
If you are inclined to get even more up-to-date abstracts and papers in the Astrochemistry field, then check out the site entitled "The Astrochymist" in the publications section. This is a wonderful site!!!!!
