Book Reviews of A Dictionary of Chemistry (Oxford Dictionary of Chemistry)
Book Review: Beneficial to Veteran Chemists as Well
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been in Applications R&D for 17 years and have found this book indispensible. About 2% of what I do falls into the "oddball" category and for those times that I quickly need a reminder regarding a term or mechanism that I don't use on a regular basis (what happens during a condensation reaction, again?), this book is a great memory jogger.
