Researchers around the world depend upon having access to authoritative, up-to-date data. And for 90 years, they have relied on the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics for that data. This year is no exception. New tables, extensive updates, and added sections mean the Handbook has again set a new standard for reliability, utility, and thoroughness. This edition features a completely new table of Physical Constants of Organic Compounds with data on almost 11,000 compounds, new structure diagrams, and a new, more convenient format. Reflecting CRC’s dedication to ensuring the Handbook remains current, this edition also incorporates new entries and data from the U.S. Government’s just-released “Tenth Report on Carcinogens.”
Summary: Great reference source for everything and everybody!
Rating: 5
My adviser recommended I get this book for all my reference need. Looking up properties of metals, boiling point of water at different pressures, etc.
I use this book on regular basis and it’s never left my sight.
These tend to be rather expensive, but you can always pickup a used copy (I got it used, no problems there).
If I didn’t own it I would definitely buy it again.
Summary: This is AWESOME!
Rating: 5
What a great source for SO MUCH information! Perfect for anyone in the field or students who love science as much as I do!
Summary: Represents Our Technological Civilisation
Rating: 5
Some years ago, an author in a science fiction magazine put forth a gedanken (thought experiment). Suppose you would be transported to another planet and you had to attempt to rebuild our civilisation. But you could only take 6 books with you.
What would you take?
Well, that author gave a list of his suggestions. One of which was this; well an earlier edition anyway. He pointed out something about the Rubber Handbook, which is what anyone who regularly uses this book calls it. So easy to take for granted, because in any lab, you can usually rummage around and find some edition of it. But it represents millions of hours of engineering and research to measure and collate its results.
If there is one book that summarises the engineering of our civilisation, it is this.
Always nice to see CRC continually updating it. But having said the above, whether you need this latest edition is another matter. The changes are incremental. If you have an older edition, and there is no specific reason to upgrade, then you probably shouldn’t. Note that I did not say never. Just tell yourself you can defer it till next year. Then, at that time, ask yourself again.
