Macmillan Encyclopedia of Chemistry — Print

"The attractively priced set offers clear explanations of the phenomena and concepts of chemistry and its materials, whether found in industry, the laboratory, or the natural world...Its excellent, lucid writing, useful organization, and comprehensive range make it an indispensable source of information about the 'central science.'"
-- Journal of Chemical Education (November 1998)

"Looking for a well-rounded reference work in chemistry? In typical Macmillan style, this set provides clear and basic explanations on a broad array of topics in general chemistry....Recommended for public and academic libraries."
-- CHOICE (March 1998)

" This is a very important new addition to chemical reference sources. It is comprehensive, well organized and up to date. At $100 a volume, it is well worth the expense for all chemistry, large academic, large public, and medical libraries."
-- Booklist/RBB (March 1998)

"While not cheap, this is the best available multivolume chemical encyclopedia for general libraries. Aimed at high school and college students and educated laypersons, its 684 articles explain chemical concepts and phenomena clearly and cover such important current topics as chemical warfare and ozone depletion. There are also biographical entries on over 100 chemists."
-- Library Journal (December 1997)

"a good general chemical encyclopedia, suitable for high schools or junior colleges."
