World Records in Chemistry

Editorial Reviews
Review
Have you ever wondered what the smelliest chemical might be? Or what the strongest acid is? Or the sweetest chemical subsctance ever made? A reliable guidebook answering such questions and indeed presenting us with all manner of superlatives and world records in chemistry would clearly be a useful resource. ... Because the range of topics covered by the book is so broad and fascinating, I think all chemists will enjoy reading it. It would certainly make a very acceptable gift to any aspiring or established chemist and could well come in handy for those seeking anecdotal or amusing metrial for lecturers or other presentations. This is one of the few works that can be said to deserve a place in every chemical library.(Chemistry in Britain)

" World Records in Chemistry is a profoundly frivolous ides, which has been turned into a fascinating and highly entertaining book."(Dr. Andrea Sella)

"Overall this is a reference book with some useful topics and some wacky and amusing facts" (Chromatographia, November 2001)
