George D. Graffin Lectures in Carbon Science & Engineering
504
Book Review/Announcement
Chapter 13 of the book presents a concise discussion of the production and uses of carbon products The authors cover mesophase from aromatics. development, delayed coking, gas phase pyrolysis and the production of carbon fibers. Finally, the last chapter goes into the environmental and toxicology aspects of aromatics.
As a whole, this book represents a unique and excellent contributions to the chemical literature. The only criticism I have is that the references are grouped at the end of each chapter and not specifically identified in the text. The wealth of information included in this book makes it a valuable reference to any scientist or engineer interested in aromatic chemistry. I. C. Lewis VCAR Carbon Company Inc.

ANNOUNCEMENT
George D. Graffin Lectures in Carbon Science & Engineering The 1988 Graftin Lectures to honor the late George DGraffin, one of the pioneers of the graphite industry [see Carbon 20, 163 (1982) and Carbon 19,241 (1981)] were presented by Dr. Julius Jortner of Jortner Research & Engineering, Inc. With primary support from Asbuxy Carbons, Inc., Dr. Jortner presented lectures under the general title “Mechanical and Thermal Behavior of Carbon - Needs and Opportunities for Engineering Research” at the following six universities: Clarkson, California (Berkeley, Long Beach , Los Angeles, and San Diego), and Washington. Dr. Jortner wishes to thank the following people for providing carbon samples and illustrative slides: HITCO B.F. Goodrich-SuperTemp University of California, San Diego Science Applications International Corp. St. Jude Medical, Inc.
