The second edition of this widely acclaimed reference book collects together in a single volume the most important facts about all the chemical elements. Whilst retaining the alphabetical, easy-to-use format of the first edition, the opportunity has been taken to update information and to add a new section on environmental properties to go alongside the existing ones on the chemical, physical, nuclear, and electron-shell properties of the elements. All numerical data are given in SI units, and these are explained in an introduction which also explains how they can be converted to other commonly used units. At the end of the book is a series of tables listing selected properties, both in order of the elements and in rank order of the property.

CHOICE Review

This handy reference provides quick access to data on the chemical elements. A double-page spread for each element is packed with information. Data are divided into five sections: chemical, physical, nuclear, electron shell, and environmental properties. As in its 1988 edition, this handbook allows easy access to information on an element's standard potentials, oxidation states, melting and boiling points, molar heat capacities, crystal structure, key isotopes, NMR properties, ionization energies, atomic spectrum lines, natural abundance, and more. Discoverer, date of discovery, and origin of name are also provided. New in this edition are data on the element's toxic and lethal intakes as well as levels found in human muscle, bone, and blood. Also included is available information on two new elements, unnilquadium and unnilpentium. An introductory key outlines organization of element data and references original data sources. End tables list elements in rank order by properties such as density, enthalpy, and abundance. Elements is not so extensive as the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (71st ed., CH, Sep'91), but this compact work would be useful to anyone needing element data. Libraries at any level.-N. C.
