-Chemistry in Britain

All in all, this is an excellent reference to keep at hand in any laboratory. It gives just the right information, it is just the right size, and the pages appear to be of the right thickness to survive repeated thumbing through them.
-Science Books and Films

An essential reference for academic and industrial laboratories.
