My goal with this book is to give you the really essential information and concepts that you would face in a first semester chemistry class in high school or college. I’ve omitted a lot of topics found in a typical chemistry textbook. This book is designed to give you the bare essentials. Remember, this is a light treatment. If you want more, many other books are available. My favorite, naturally, is Chemistry For Dummies. I understand the author is really a great guy. 

When you’re fixed in the thickets of stoichiometry or bogged down by buffered solutions, you’ve got little use for rapturous poetry about the atomic splendor of the universe. What you need is a little practical assistance. Subject by subject, problem by problem, this book extends a helping hand to pull you out of the thickets and bogs. The topics covered in this book are those most often covered in a first course of chemistry. The focus is on problems — problems like those you may encounter in homework or on exams.

This 97th Edition of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is the first to be produced by a new procedure in which the full content is maintained in a database from which both the print version and the Internet edition are generated. This will assure that chemical names, formulas, and basic physical properties are consistent throughout the work. Thus if a melting point or density is replaced by a more accurate value, the new value will be propagated into all tables containing that substance.

This is the first in a series of four volumes, all written at an elementary calculus level. The complete course covers the most important areas of classical physics such as mechanics, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, electromagnetism, waves, and optics. The volumes result from a translation, an in depth revision and update of the Italian version published by Decibel-Zanichelli. This first volume deals with classical mechanics, including an introduction to relativity.

n today’s world we are surrounded by science and by 
the technology that has grown out of that science. For 
most of us, this is making the world increasingly mysterious and somewhat ominous as technology becomes 
ever more powerful. For instance, we are confronted by 
many global environmental questions such as the dangers of greenhouse gases and the best choices of energy 
sources. These are questions that are fundamentally technical in nature and there is a bewildering variety of claims 

This book was written for readers interested in learning the C++ programming

language from scratch, and for both novice and advanced C++ programmers

wishing to enhance their knowledge of C++. It was our goal from the beginning to design this text with the capabilities of serving dual markets, as a textbook for students and as a holistic reference manual for professionals.

The C++ language definition is based on the American National Standards Institute ANSI Standard X3J16. This standard also complies with ISO

GIS is becoming an increasingly important tool in environmental management,
retail, military, police, tourism and many other spheres of our daily lives. If you
use a computer or a cell phone, you have probably already used a GIS in some
form without even realising it. Maybe it was a map on a web site, Google
Earth, an information booth or your cell phone telling you where you are.
Proprietary GIS software (software that cannot be freely shared or modified) is
available that will let you do everything we describe in these worksheets and a

have been surrounded by so many helpful and knowledgeable
students, colleagues, and friends that it is difficult to know
where my ideas begin and where theirs leave off. Let me single
out a few of these people for special thanks. I am indebted to the
following for generously providing insights and stories used in this

The idea behind this book is simple: to put in the hands of people interested
in geographic information systems (GIS), geographic information science,
and geospatial science and engineering a book that provides a broad preparation for later work with geographic information, regardless of background.
Accordingly, this book explains, with a pragmatic approach, the concepts
and practices of geographic information that underpin GIS. It covers what
and how geographic information represents, analyzes, and communicates
