Leading you from the fundamental principles of inorganic chemistry right through to cutting-edge research at the forefront of the subject, Inorganic Chemistry is the ideal course companion for the duration of your degree. BL Written by an experienced and research-active author team, the unique four-part structure of this text provides comprehensive and contemporary coverage of inorganic chemistry from fundamental theory through to cutting-edge interdisciplinary research and current applications, making this text the ideal companion for the duration of a degree. BL Additional qualitative explanation to help students get to grips with the more mathematical treatments. BL An extensive range of learning features is provided to support students, including 'context boxes’, ‘notes on good practice’, ‘key points’ and ‘brief illustrations’. BL Numerous worked examples, self-test questions, exercises, and the more stretching tutorial problems encourage students to develop vital problem-solving skills. BL The 8th edition is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats: the e-book and Science Trove offer a mobile experience and convenient access along with embedded three-dimensional visualisations of many of the structures that appear throughout the book, video overviews, and a suite of multiple-choice questions functionality tools, navigation features and links that offer extra learning support.

As the Earth''s oil supply runs out, and the effects of climate change threaten nations and their populations, the search for carbon-neutral sources of energy becomes more important and increasingly urgent. This book focuses on solutions to the energy problem, and not just the problem itself. It describes the major energy-generation technologies currently under development, and provides an authoritative summary of the current status of each one. It stresses the need for a balanced portfolio of alternative energy technologies. Certain solutions will be more appropriate than others in particular locations, due to the differences in availability of natural resources such as solar, wind, wave, tidal and geothermal. In addition, nuclear options (both fission and fusion), as well as technologies such as fuel cells, photovoltaics, artificial photosynthesis and hydrogen (as an energy carrier), all have a potential role to play. A state-of-the-art critique of energy efficiency in building design is also included. Each chapter is written by an acknowledged international expert and provides a non-technical overview of the competing and complementary approaches to energy generation. Broad in scope and comprehensive in treatment, Energy..beyond Oil provides an authoritative synthesis of the scientific and technological issues which are essential to the survival of the human race in the near future. The book will be of interest and use to graduate students and researchers in all areas of energy studies, and will also be highly useful for policy-makers and professionals in the environmental sector as well as a more general readership who wish to learn more about this extremely topical subject.
