A dictionary of spectroscopy
143
the extensive compilation of data, including much previously unpublished work from the author’s laboratory, is of considerable value. The chapters on polymer chemistry and biochemistry provide good coverage of the present state of knowledge with indications of areas of potential development in the application of Raman spectroscopy_ A. J. B. A Dictionary of Spectroscopic, by R. C.. DENNEY, Macmillan,
London,
pp. xv-l- 161,
1973, price 52.95. This dictionary will enable the average chemist to find his way amid the large number of spectroscopic techniques currently available_ The terms included offer a comprehensive coverage and many are excellently illustrated with diagrams. This book is a welcome addition to the world of spectroscopy. w. J* O.-T.

by D. Hadzi, Elsevier Co. 1973, pp. xxii -I- 1094 in three paperback volumes, price
These paperbacks represent the proceedings of an International Conference on Computers in Chemical Research and Education held in Ljubljana, Yugoslavia in 1973. in order to make this wealth of information available quickly, the volumes have been reproduced directly from the typescripts submitted by the contributors. The contributions are in English, which will be appreciated by the average reader. There are, of course, spelling mistakes, grammatical errors and variation in style from paper to paper. Some of the information given is already available in the literature. However, this compact set of three volumes, complete with relevant references at the end of each contribution, gives a composite picture of the existing use of computers in chemistry research and their potential use, both in research and undergraduate education. Scientists already computer orientated will undoubtediy extend their horizons after perusal of these handy volumes. M. R.
