Most people remember chemistry from their schooldays as largely incomprehensible, a subject that was fact-rich but understanding-poor, smelly, and so far removed from the real world of events and pleasures that there seemed little point, except for the most introverted, in coming to terms withits grubby concepts, spells, recipes, and rules. Peter Atkins wants to change all that. In this Very Short Introduction to Chemistry, he encourages us to look at chemistry anew, through a chemist's eyes, in order to understand its central concepts and to see how it contributes not only towards our material comfort, but also to human culture. Atkins shows how chemistry provides theinfrastructure of our world, through the chemical industry, the fuels of heating, power generation, and transport, as well as the fabrics of our clothing and furnishings. By considering the remarkable achievements that chemistry has made, and examining its place between both physics and biology, Atkins presents a fascinating, clear, and rigorous exploration of the world of chemistry - its structure, core concepts, and exciting contributions to new cutting-edgetechnologies. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, andenthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
Chemistry 2 by
Answers at your fingertips to the essentials of a subject that is challenging at best and that many students struggle with. The 6 page laminated guide focuses on physical chemistry with the details and structure of the subject organized and designed to be a key to the answers that are further supported by your texts and lectures. Use as a review before testing, or as a memory companion that keeps your mind focused on the whole course daily, weekly, or as needed before exams. Suggested uses: Students -- especially relevant for those majoring in engineering, science, or a health care related field; Quick Reference -- instead of digging into the textbook to find a core answer you need while studying, use the guide to reinforce quickly and repeatedly; Memory -- refreshing your memory repeatedly is a foundation of studying, have the core answers handy so you can focus on understanding the concepts; Test Prep -- no student should be cramming, but if you are, there is no better tool for that final review.

Computational Chemistry by
The development of new drugs always was time consuming and costly. With the development in experimental methods, it was possible to scan small-compound libraries in order to find potentially suitable molecules. Protein kinases are a class of enzymes involved in the great majority of cellular processes. This book begins with a discussion on the protein kinase targeting drug discovery and design. It continues with topics on computational chemistry investigation of UV filters; using the network simulation method to study ionic transport processes in electrochemical cells; molecular simulation of electron beam nanofabrication; interpreting of chiral ordering of hybrid system of several AZO dyes; a general procedure for a priori calculation of thermochemical properties of organic molecules and free radicals; strategies for design of new organic molecular rectifiers; and DFT studies.
Medicinal Chemistry by
Medicinal Chemistry: Fundaments presents the cycle of the life of drugs, their physico-chemical properties, and consequences that arise in development. The fundamental concepts of Medicinal Chemistry (pharmacophore, prodrugs, Lipinsky rules) are also presented, including discussions on specific concerns of the European Pharmacopeia - the industrialist's bible - its role, and a description of the monographs of active principles.
Principles of Chemistry by
Provides students and researchers with an easy-to-understand introduction to the fundamentals of chemistry, from elements and molecules to chemical reactions and properties of matter.
