Ninth Edition
An Introduction to Catalysis, Kinetics, and Chemical Processes
Stanley E. Manahan University of Missouri, Columbia, USA
The field of environmental chemistry has evolved significantly since the publication of the first edition of Environmental Chemistry. Chronicling emerging issues such as organochloride pesticides, detergent phosphates, stratospheric ozone depletion, the banning of chlorofluorocarbons, and greenhouse warming, each edition has reflected the field’s shift of emphasis from pollution and its effects to its current emphasis on sustainability. Now in its ninth edition, the book presents the principles, tools, and techniques necessary for a fundamental understanding of environmental chemistry and its applications. It systematically develops the concept so that when it covers specific pollutions problems, the background necessary to understand the problem has already been developed. This edition includes a revised discussion of sustainability and environmental science, presents updated information on chemical fate and transport, and examines the connection between environmental chemistry and green chemistry. It covers transgenic crops, the role of energy in sustainability, the potential use of toxic substances in terrorist attacks, and the importance of anthrosphere.

An Acid–Base Approach Michael B. Smith University of Connecticut, Storrs, USA
Based on the premise that many, if not most, reactions in organic chemistry can be explained by variations of fundamental acid-base concepts, Organic Chemistry: An Acid–Base Approach provides a framework for understanding the subject that goes beyond mere memorization. The individual steps in many important mechanisms rely on acid–base reactions, and the ability to see these relationships makes understanding organic chemistry easier. Using several techniques to develop a relational understanding, this textbook helps students fully grasp the essential concepts at the root of organic chemistry. The reactions and mechanisms contained in the book describe the most fundamental concepts that are used in industry, biological chemistry and biochemistry, molecular biology, and pharmacy. The concepts presented constitute the fundamental basis of life processes, making them critical to the study of medicine. Reflecting this emphasis, most chapters end with a brief section that describes biological applications for each concept. This text provides students with the skills to proceed to the next level of study, offering a fundamental understanding of acids and bases applied to organic transformations and organic molecules.

General A First Course in Differential Equations, Modeling, and Simulation
Forthcoming!
Carlos A. Smith and Scott W. Campbell
Scott A. Gold
University of South Florida, Tampa, USA
A First Course in Differential Equations, Modeling, and Simulation demonstrates to students how differential equations arise from applying basic physical principles and experimental observations to engineering systems. Avoiding overly theoretical explanations, the text covers classical methods for obtaining the analytical solution of differential equations and Laplace transforms. It discusses how these equations describe mathematical systems and how to use software to solve sets of equations where analytical solutions cannot be obtained. Using simple physics, the book introduces dynamic modeling, the definition of differential equations, two simple methods for obtaining their analytical solution, and a method to follow when modeling. It then presents classical methods for solving differential equations, discusses the engineering importance of the roots of a characteristic equation, and describes the response of first- and second-order differential equations. A study of the Laplace transform method follows with explanations of the transfer function and the power of Laplace transform for obtaining the analytical solution of coupled differential equations. The next several chapters present the modeling of translational and rotational mechanical systems, fluid systems, thermal systems, and electrical systems. The final chapter explores many simulation examples using a typical software package for the solution of the models developed in previous chapters. Providing the necessary tools to apply differential equations in engineering and science, this text helps students understand differential equations, their meaning, and their analytical and computer solutions. It illustrates how and where differential equations develop, how they describe engineering systems, how to obtain the analytical solution, and how to use software to simulate the systems.
