CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics


The 92nd edition of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics: A Ready Reference Book of Chemical and Physical Data is now available in the reference section of the library. Faculty members may take it to classes. This edition, published in June this year, includes new tables, major updates, and a reorganization of several sections.

There is no search engine to help you navigate through the pages, but the index should be sufficient. "As ever in science, the serendipity of a detour by accident into a new territory", accordingto Sir William Wakeham's foreward, "is itself often fruitful when one can have confidence in what you find."

This is not a handbook to be read from cover to cover, but is to be dipped into from time to time as a source of secure information.
