Comprehensive, but not complete.......2004-11-18
This book was used in a class I nearly took in college; while I couldn't fit the course into my schedule, I kept the book.
What the book does, it does well: for example, its coverage of the noble gases is quite extensive. It also does an excellent job covering acid/base chemistry, going into far more detail than any book I had seen to that point (although its approach tended to be descriptive and qualitative rather than quantitative).
That said, there are some significant gaps in the book: for example, while there is a chapter on the halogens and noble gases, there are no corresponding chapters for the other element groups (though that doesn't mean they aren't treated).
The biggest flaw in this book, though, is the woefully inadequate index: there are many, many things that should be listed, but aren't. For example, the book uses a certain type of diagram in three different chapters. Only the second and third instances, though, are listed in the index; the first time, where the diagrams are actually explained, is not listed at all. Similarly, there are very few entries for the elements themselves: there are no entries *at all* for hydrogen, iodine, copper, or calcium, just to name four.
All in all, it's still a very good book, but it's by no means perfect (or the only book of its kind). Large sections of the book are written at a relatively advanced level, so I certainly wouldn't recommend this for someone who hasn't had a significant chemistry background, but I would recommend it for someone trying to build a reference library.
One of the best introductory inorganic textbooks around.......2002-01-27
I bought this book on the recommendation of one of my chemistry advisors. I must say, it is one of the best books available on the market for inorganic chemistry. The chapters on bonding, solid state, and coordination are very well done, but the authors have done a good job on the rest as well. They don't try to gloss over anything and provide references for further reading. I used this book as background for an inorganic synthesis project; I am using it for a one-semester inorganic class now (the book was designed for a two-semester class), and I will use it again when I take a higher class in inorganic chemistry.
great book.......2001-12-17
Although I didn't read much about it, I still got an A from this course. Hopefully the professor won't see this page.:-)
If you ever need to know anything about inorganic chemistry of today, buy this book. It's almost a dictionary for inorg-chemists.
A comprehensive guide for Inorganic Chemistry.......2000-06-29
This book is a fantastic approach for Inorganic Chemistry! Far from the usual descriptive inorganic chemistry found in other books, Huheey's work is a complete and thorough guide to undergraduate students; it explains important subjects which are left out in other works.
The chapters about bonding are specially well written and have good information that can be well understood by chemistry students.
There is only one little flaw, its lack of colored pictures. It may seem silly, but some students can be greatly encouraged by this.
It is a great book and I recomend it to anyone who plans to partake an Inorganic Chemistry course.
Book Description
The problem of greenhouse gas (particularly carbon dioxide) release during power generation in fixed and mobile systems is widely acknowledged. Fuel cells are electrochemical devices offering clean and efficient energy production by the direct conversion of gaseous fuel into electricity. As such, they are under active study for commercial stationary power generation, residential applications and in transportation. The control of fuel cell systems under a variety of environmental conditions and over a wide operating range is a crucial factor in making them viable for extensive use in every-day technology.
In
Control of Fuel Cell Power Systems the application of fuel cells in automotive powertrains is emphasized because of the significance of the contribution to global CO
2 emissions made by ground vehicle propulsion and because of the challenge presented by the accompanying control problems. The authors’ comprehensive control-oriented approach provides:
• An overview of the underlying physical principles and the main control objectives and difficulties associated with the implementation of fuel cell systems.
• System-level dynamic models derived from the physical principles of the processes involved.
• Formulation, in-depth analysis and detailed control design for two critical control problems, namely, the control of the cathode oxygen supply for a high-pressure direct hydrogen fuel cell system and control of the anode hydrogen supply from a natural gas fuel processor system.
• Multivariable controllers that attenuate restraints resulting from lack of sensor fidelity or actuator authority.
• Real-time observers for stack variables that confer redundancy in fault detection processes.
• Examples of the assistance of control analysis in fuel cell redesign and performance improvement.
• Downloadable SIMULINK® model of a fuel cell for immediate use supplemented by sample MATLAB® files with which to run it and reproduce some of the book plots.
Primarily intended for researchers and students with a control background looking to expand their knowledge of fuel cell technology,
Control of Fuel Cell Power Systems will also appeal to practicing fuel cell engineers through the simplicity of its models and the application of control algorithms in concrete case studies. The thorough coverage of control design will be of benefit to scientists dealing with the electrochemical, materials and fluid-dynamic aspects of fuel cells.

Review for Control of Fuel Cell Power Systems : Principles, Modeling, Analysis and Feedback Design.......2006-03-24
A complete book that give to the reader the methodology
to model and understand the fuel cell dynamics and control.
The companion software allows deep insight of the modelling and control problem, and the "what-if" analysis.
Very poor book.......2005-11-16
This is a book with a series of simplifications and assumptions. I thought that it would help me deal with real control problems of fuel cell power systems. Instead it deals with only linearized models that can be easily solved by applying modern control theory.It is less than an introductory book really poor written.

An informative introductory text........2000-03-25
Overall, this book is a useful reference for anyone engaging in a Bioinorganic course at the upper undergraduate or early postgraduate level. This book is sufficiently informative and can be used as a recommemded text for the upper undergraduate level in a course in Bioinorganic Chemistry.

Accelrys advertisement.......2007-01-17
This book describes what is essentially docking calculations in the context of the Accerlys software. The text is very qualitative and does not provide enough instruction to do any "molecular modeling". It seems to be more guidlines for various software packages sold by Accerlys.
Book Description
This text focuses on the practical aspects of crystal structure analysis, and provides the necessary conceptual framework for understanding and applying the technique. By choosing an approach that avoids undue emphasis on the mathematics involved, the book gives practical advice on topics such as growing crystals, solving and refining structures, and understanding and using the results. The technique described is a core experimental method in modern structural chemistry, and plays an ever more important role in the careers of final-year undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral and academic staff in chemistry.
Customer Reviews:
A great introduction in crystal structure analysis.......2004-01-29
This book should be one of the best introduction in crystal structure analysis for the beginners! Everybody wanting to start with x-ray structure analysis should read this book at the very beginning, since it's, in fact, a International Union of Crystallography Text on Crystallography. It covers the most important topics of x-ray structure analysis in an easy understandable language without boring the reader with mathematical details. You can get a good impression about what the basic principles and problems of x-crystallography are, and how they can be solved.

Book Description
A unique interdisciplinary approach to inorganic materials design
Textbooks intended for the training of chemists in the inorganic materials field often omit many relevant topics. With its interdisciplinary approach, this book fills that gap by presenting concepts from chemistry, physics, materials science, metallurgy, and ceramics in a unified treatment targeted towards the chemistry audience. Semiconductors, metal alloys and intermetallics, as well as ceramic substances are covered. Accordingly, the book should also be useful to students and working professionals in a variety of other disciplines.
This book discusses a number of topics that are pertinent to the design of new inorganic materials but are typically not covered in standard solid-state chemistry books. The authors start with an introduction to structure at the mesoscopic level and progress to smaller-length scales. Next, detailed consideration is given to both phenomenological and atomistic-level descriptions of transport properties, the metal-nonmetal transition, magnetic and dielectric properties, optical properties, and mechanical properties. Finally, the authors present introductions to phase equilibria, synthesis, and nanomaterials.
Other features include:
* Worked examples demonstrating concepts unfamiliar to the chemist
* Extensive references to related literature, leading readers to more in-depth coverage of particular topics
* Biographies introducing the reader to great contributors to the field of inorganic materials science in the twentieth century
With their interdisciplinary approach, the authors have set the groundwork for communication and understanding among professionals in varied disciplines who are involved with inorganic materials engineering. Armed with this publication, students and researchers in inorganic and physical chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering will be better equipped to face today's complex design challenges. This textbook is appropriate for senior-level undergraduate and graduate course work.

Clear & Concise, Focuses on What Matters in the Real World.......2006-09-20
I use this book in my class, and my students have found it to be extremely useful. Highly recommended for those intending to be chemists involved in design of new inorganic materials, as this book delves into important real world material that is often not covered in many academic texts.
Very good writing on transport properties, the metal-nonmetal transition, magnetic and dielectric properties, optical properties, and mechanical properties, and much much more. First rate!

Book Description
This book covers the field between extractive metallurgy and solidification and subsequent processing. An important point the book stresses is that the principles are the same in the treatment of various different metals. Someone concerned with the purification of one metal may learn from results and experiences gained on other metals and alloys. The specifics of metals such as iron and steel, aluminium, and copper are discussed in examples and in problems at the end of each chapter. The book is self-contained and covers the basic thermodynamics and fluid mechanics required.
Book Description
Many sections of this revised edition have been completely rewritten to take into account the enormous advances in recent years. The book's strenth lies in covering all the main group and transition metals in sufficient depth to give the student a good understanding of the subject.
