Praise for Previous Editions

Winner of CHOICE Magazine’s Outstanding Academic Titles Award in 2001 and 2007!

—S. Korolev, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, CHOICE, October 2007, Vol. 45, No. 2

…A thoroughly worthwhile and long-lasting investment. The CD version … lets you do things easily that working with the printed copy would be really hard work. … A scientific must-have.

Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, Vol. 7, Issue 1

This CD-ROM … allows one to search by formula, thermodynamic, or physical property and then combine individual searches for comparison. … Data can be handily saved, sorted, printed, and exported. … A fantastic and inordinately useful product.

—Dr. Martin Owen Jones, Oxford University, UK, The Chemical Educator, Vol. 11, No. 3, 2006
