They called the Wyoming lawyer ’Cougar’ – a big cat, a predator. The Australian teacher was a beautiful kitty cat who had forgotten how to purr. Raised in different environments both had suffered tragic losses. Their compatibility was untested, but the chemistry between them was electric from the first moment they met. “Catherine Hunter?” Her name, whispered so close she could feel the breath of the speaker. Startled, she spun around and found herself caught in his arms. The scent of his cologne invaded her nostrils as she looked up at him warily. With a gentle smile, he introduced himself, “Gabe Faraday. Welcome to Casper, Catherine.” The Cougar had never thought of the kitchen as a play area until Cat showed him how. Bending to put dishes in the washer, wriggling back against him, and stretching to reach the top shelves to reveal skin that invited kissing. Then there were her unfettered breasts brushing against him each time they passed. Then tragedy again strikes. The lOVEchemistry is tested, with love and emotions being stretched further than the thousands of miles the separate their homes and families.

Chemistry plays a key role in conquering diseases, solving energy problems, addressing environmental problems, providing the discoveries that lead to new industries, and developing new materials and technologies for national defense and homeland security. However, the field is currently facing a crucial time of change and is struggling to position itself to meet the needs of the future as it expands beyond its traditional core toward areas related to biology, materials science, and nanotechnology. At the request of the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Research Council conducted an in-depth benchmarking analysis to gauge the current standing of the U.S. chemistry field in the world. The Future of U.S. Chemistry Research: Benchmarks and Challenges highlights the main findings of the benchmarking exercise.

First Published in 1987, this book offers a full, comprehensive guide into the Literature on Analytical Chemistry. Carefully compiled and filled with a vast repertoire of journals, Papers, and References this book serves as a useful reference for Students of Chemistry, and other practitioners in their respective fields.

In the International Year of Chemistry, prominent scientists highlight the major advances in the fight against the largest problems faced by humanity from the point of view of chemistry, showing how their science is essential to ensuring our long-term survival. Following the UN Millennium Development Goals, the authors examine the ten most critical areas, including energy, climate, food, water and health. All of them are opinion leaders in their fields, or high-ranking decision makers in national and international institutions. Intended to provide an intellectual basis for the future development of chemistry, this book is aimed at a wide readership including students, professionals, engineers, scientists, environmentalists and anyone interested in a more sustainable future.

This book considers how post-secondary chemistry education can be advanced in developing countries, in order to respond to emerging global, regional, and local needs. Taking Guyana as a case study, it pays particular attention to local challenges facing such territories, including human and financial resource shortages, tension between quality and quantity of graduates, cultural inequalities, unequal access to increasingly important Information and Communication Technology or Technologies (ICTs), and increasing competition from international universities in the developed world. Written by a team with over 70 years in combined teaching experience, it asks whether these challenges can be met and overcome and considers how tertiary chemistry education can better meet the rapidly changing needs of society. The authors examine the status quo of tertiary chemistry education in Guyana against the introductory backdrop of the internal and external stresses on the education system, before exploring selected best practices grounded in a three-pronged model focused on pedagogy, programming, and people. Advancing diversity on each of these levels, the book ultimately shows how this framework can support better learning and teaching, and the development of a better equipped and more diverse Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) workforce. It will appeal to scholars, researchers, graduate students, and tertiary level curriculum developers in chemistry education, interested in an innovative, holistic approach for transforming chemistry teaching that focuses on pedagogical diversity, strategic co-curricular programming, and accommodating diversity and diverse learning styles in the classroom.
