Subsequent editions of this book and of "Quantities, Units and Symbols in Physical Chemistry" have been substantially revised and extended, containing many new resolutions and recommendations from Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures, International Union of Pure and Physics, the International Organization for Standardization and IUPAC. The style of the manual has also been changed such that it is no longer simply a book of rules, but more a manual of assistance and advice to meet the everyday needs of the practicing scientist.<br clear="ALL"> <br clear="ALL"> * an essential reference manual for all practicing chemists and physicists<br clear="ALL"> * contains the latest recommendations from the regulatory bodies</font><font color="#000000"><br clear="ALL"> <br clear="ALL"> <img src="../../../images/books/mills93.jpg" width="200" height="298" align="right"><a name="ct"></a>Contents</font></p> <p><font face="Times Roman">Historical Introduction<br> Physical Quantities and Units;<br> Tables of Physical Quantities;<br> Definitions and Symbols for Units; <br> Recommended Mathematical Symbols; <br> Fundamental Physical Constants;<br> Properties of Particles, Elements and Nuclides; <br> Conversion of Units;<br> Abbreviations and Acronyms; <br> References </font><br> <font size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">> <a href="../gbook/index.html">full text available</a></font><br> </p> <blockquote> <p><font color="#000000">10 illustrations<br clear="ALL"> 176 pages</font></p> </blockquote> <p align="left"> </p> <p align="left"><font size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>[<i>Sept 2007 update</i>] <br> This book is superseded by the 2007, <a href="cohen.html">Third Edition</a>.</b></font></p> <p align="right"><font color="#000000" size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">> <a href="../seriestitles/nomenclature.html">IUPAC Nomenclature Books Series<br> </a></font><font size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">> <a href="../../../reports/1993/homann/index.html">Abbreviated list of quantities, units <br> and symbols in physical chemistry</a></font></p> <p align="right"> </p> </blockquote> <center> <p align=CENTER> <hr width="50%"> <p><font size=-1> Page last modified 4 September 2007. <br> Copyright © 1997-2007 International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.</font></p> <blockquote> <p align=CENTER><font size=-1>Questions or comments about IUPAC <br> please contact the <a href="../../../news/contact.html">Secretariat</a>. <br> Questions regarding the website <br> please contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#264f535647454e434a56664f5356474508495441">Web Help.</a></font> </blockquote> </center> </TD> </TR><div align="left"> </div></TABLE> <div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><script data-cfasync="false" src="/cdn-cgi/scripts/5c5dd728/cloudflare-static/email-decode.min.js"></script><script>(function(){function c(){var b=a.contentDocument||a.contentWindow.document;if(b){var d=b.createElement('script');d.innerHTML="window.__CF$cv$params={r:'8e9e5c957a555fc1',t:'MTczMjgzODg5MC4wMDAwMDA='};var a=document.createElement('script');a.nonce='';a.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(a);";b.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(d)}}if(document.body){var a=document.createElement('iframe');a.height=1;a.width=1;a.style.position='absolute';a.style.top=0;a.style.left=0;a.style.border='none';a.style.visibility='hidden';document.body.appendChild(a);if('loading'!==document.readyState)c();else if(window.addEventListener)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',c);else{var e=document.onreadystatechange||function(){};document.onreadystatechange=function(b){e(b);'loading'!==document.readyState&&(document.onreadystatechange=e,c())}}}})();</script></BODY></HTML>
