CRC handbook of chemistry and physics : a ready-reference book of chemical and physical data (83rd ed., 2002-2003)

The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics has always provided a thorough range of critically evaluated data in a convenient, one-volume format that forms the world's leading source of scientific data.

Now in its 83rd edition, the handbook includes a range of new topics and tables that reflect emerging and active areas of current research.

Most important among this year's revisions is an update of the Thermochemistry, Electrochemistry, and Kinetics section and the Geophysics, Astronomy, and Acoustics section.

New topics include viscosity of liquid metals, an expansion of the biochemistry section, which includes a chapter on thermodynamic quantities for ionization reactions used in biological research, and the Directory of Physical and Chemical Data Sources.

This directory lists of sources of data including special data journals and book series, data centers, such as those at NIST, and Internet sites.
