Customer Reviews

Better than I expected.

I use the chemical dictionaries for my kids at school to research chemical formulas of items from food labels. This dictionary was great. The seller was prompt and the item was exactly as described.

Very Useful

In my industry I have found this text to be a very valuable resource. I recomend anyone associated with chemicals have one on their desks.

AN ALL-ENCOMPASSING REFERENCE TOOL

Also available in CD-ROM, this all-in-one resource is an authoritative reference which many scientists and learners can count on. Since its first appearance some eighty years ago, this dictionary has established itself as the ultimate tool of choice for researchers.Its extensive coverage of chemicals and pharmaceuticals is hard to rival. Users of this dictionary appreciate its concise definition of both terms and phenomena. Anybody who seeks a solid all-encompassing chemical lexicon will get the ultimate satisfaction here. Its 1300 pages are filled with the most up-to-date definitions.The only sour point, though, is that its price is on the high side. Still, it is not a bad investment.

Excellant book for practical chemists, researches, students.

This book provides condensed and prompt information not only on chemistry related subjects, but biology, biochemistry, and many more. It has very good cross referances. I think anybody who decided to buy Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary would not regret it.
