درباره کتاب Hawley’s Condensed Chemical Dictionary
بخشی از پیشگفتار کتاب Hawley’s Condensed Chemical Dictionary نوشته Richard J. Lewis از انتشارات نوپردازان:
The First Edition of the Condensed Chemical Dictionary appeared in 1919 when the chemical industry in the United States was entering a huge expansion pro- gram as a result of World War I. The urgent need for such a reference book became apparent to Francis M. Turner, president of the Chemical Catalog Company, predecessor of the Reinhold Publishing Corporation. Under his supervision a succession of editors developed and expanded the Condensed Chemical Dictionary to meet the growing needs of the chemical industry. Since his death this development has continued, with the result that the work has achieved worldwide recognition in its field.
The Condensed Chemical Dictionary is a unique publication. It is not a dictionary in the usual sense of an assemblage of brief definitions, but rather a compendium of technical data and descriptive information covering many thousands of chemicals, chemical phenomena, and chemobiological materials organized in such a way as to meet the needs of those who have only minutes to devote to any given substance or topic.
Four distinct types of information are presented: (1) descriptions of chemicals, raw materials, processes, and equipment; (2) expanded definitions of chemical entities, phenomena, and terminology; (3) descriptions or identifications of a wide range of trademarked products used in the chemical industries; (4) definitions of bio-chemical materials, phenomena, and terminology. Supplementing these are listings of accepted chemical abbreviations used in the literature, short biographies of chemists of historic importance, and winners of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Also included are descriptions or notations of the nature and location of many U.S. technical societies and trade associations. In special cases, editorial notes have been supplied where it was felt necessary to clarify or amplify a definition or description. A few entries written by specialists are acknowledged by use of the author’s name.
