Extract

The Chemistry and Technology of Magnesia. M. A. Shand. 2006. John Wiley & Sons, New York. 266 pp. $89.95 cloth.

When information about specific materials, chemicals, and chemical technology is desired, those references beyond Lang's Handbook of Chemistry and the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics that are traditionally consulted are the Kirk Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, Mellor's A Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry, and the American Chemical Society's Monograph Series. Therefore, any new text regarding a specific material and its technology is usually compared with these classics: What information is new? Have there been new advances of knowledge? How comprehensive is the discussion of the subject matter?
