Review # 1 was written on 2013-10-28 00:00:00 Rhonda Adams This book begins with a history of the topic, proceeds into industrial uses and processes, then dives into details with substantial reaction rate modeling of chemical kinetics where molecules absorb on a surface, get help from that surface to carry out some useful reaction, then desorb as the product, including temperature and pressure dependence, often in a multi-step manner. You'll need a number of physical constants from elsewhere, but you can build reaction math models on your PC with what's given. For me, the most fun came in extensive treatment of orbital bonding / anti-bonding established between the various molecules (remember those s, p, d orbitals from school?). Particularly useful are how those orbitals look in various molecules with electron pairing, spin, and energy of each individual reactant and the combined result included in diagrams. It's a kooky place down there at the quantum level, but this 560 page books goes a long way to making sense of it. Sadly, it's hard to find this book on the cheap.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-03-01 00:00:00 Stacey Brunson Written over 35 years ago, this book is another terrifying reminder of how evil and hopelessly currupt the central banks, corporations and governments that give them legal cover truly are. The dominance of the oil and chemical industry and the deadly poisons they profit from is unforgivable. The chemical compounds created by Nazi scientists then imported to the US are the basis of our sophisticated ag industry and we are all ingesting the toxins daily. The air, soil, food, water, and all of the daily products we use as consumers are loaded with poisons. As Vandana Shiva has said......we are still consuming the legacy of WW2. The nightmare it seems, will never be over until we are all dead.
