Digest of Education Statistics

is the 34th in a series of publications initiated in 1962. (The Digest has been issued annually except for combined editions for the years 1977–78, 1983– 84, and 1985–86.) Its primary purpose is to provide a compilation of statistical information covering the broad field of American education from kindergarten through graduate school. The Digest includes a selection of data from many sources, both government and private, and draws especially on the results of surveys and activities carried out by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). The publication contains information on a variety of subjects in the field of education statistics, including the number of schools and colleges, teachers, enrollments, and graduates, in addition to educational attainment, finances, federal funds for education, employment and income of graduates, libraries, and international education. Supplemental information on population trends, attitudes on education comparisons, education characteristics of the labor force, government finances, and economic trends provides background for evaluating education data. Although the Digest contains important information on federal education funding, more detailed information on federal activities is available from federal education program offices. For example, the Office of Bilingual Education and Minority Languages Affairs supports the National Clearinghouse on Bilingual Education, which compiles information on students and teachers involved in bilingual education.

Advanced inorganic chemistry

For more than a quarter century, Cotton and Wilkinson's Advanced Inorganic Chemistry has been the source that students and professional chemists have turned to for the background needed to understand current research literature in inorganic chemistry and aspects of organometallic chemistry. Like its predecessors, this updated Sixth Edition is organized around the periodic table of elements and provides a systematic treatment of the chemistry of all chemical elements and their compounds. It incorporates important recent developments with an emphasis on advances in the interpretation of structure, bonding, and reactivity.From the reviews of the Fifth Edition:* The first place to go when seeking general information about the chemistry of a particular element, especially when up-to-date, authoritative information is desired. -Journal of the American Chemical Society.* Every student with a serious interest in inorganic chemistry should have [this book]. -Journal of Chemical Education.* A mine of information . . . an invaluable guide. -Nature.* The standard by which all other inorganic chemistry books are judged.-Nouveau Journal de Chimie.* A masterly overview of the chemistry of the elements.-The Times of London Higher Education Supplement.* A bonanza of information on important results and developments which could otherwise easily be overlooked in the general deluge of publications. -Angewandte Chemie.

Lange's handbook of chemistry

Lange, Norbert Adolph 1892-1970, Speight, James G.

Respected for over seven decades as the standard reference for chemists and chemical engineers, this extensively revised and updated 70th Anniversary Edition of Lange9s Handbook of Chemistry is an enormous compendium of facts, data, and tabular material. Lange9s lists the properties of over 4000 organic and 1400 inorganic compounds. The new edition features new tables covering viscosity, thermal conductivity, critical constants, explosion limits, and vapor density; and for the first time in Lange9s, equations allow the calculation of values such as temperature and pressure.
