Chemistry Research Guide

Chemistry might seem like just another subject to take in school, but it is essential to the survival of all humans on the planet! It allows people to meet their needs of nutrition, shelter, clothing, and clean air and water. This comprehensive yet approachable title allows students to learn about the important role chemistry plays in our daily lives, including its use in extracting valuable metals and fossil fuels in addition to creating renewable energy and life-saving pharmaceuticals. Students are guided in their understanding of technical language, in addition to other curriculum-aligned concepts, with engaging sidebars in addition to eye-catching images and diagrams. This title also provides inspiring biographical information about Linus Pauling, winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954 for his research of chemical bonds.

Delve into the world of cyanide chemistry and its pivotal role in gold and silver leaching with Basic Cyanide Chemistry. This comprehensive handbook offers an introductory exploration of cyanide chemistry in relation to gold and silver leaching. It equips readers with basic knowledge about cyanide's interactions with gold, silver, and other metals, enhancing understanding of these processes and their influence on leach solutions and ore processing. Basic Cyanide Chemistry begins with foundational material on cyanide chemistry in the absence of metals, providing a strong theoretical base. It then progresses to discuss cyanide's interactions with gold and silver, and explores its relationship with several other metals commonly encountered in leaching processes.

From Chemistry to Life on Earth presents a compelling, evidence-rich narrative that demystifies the complex chemistry and physics underpinning the genesis and evolution of life. This book offers a cogent explanation for the intricate development of the genetic code and the ribosome, central to our understanding of life's molecular machinery. Rich in illustrative examples, the text delves deep, supported by an extensive array of scholarly literature, transcending mere conjecture to provide a robust, well-founded account of one of science's greatest enigmas. Join us on a journey from the elemental to the existential, exploring how life as we know it is anchored in the bedrock of scientific phenomena.
