        Book Description

        Noting a marked lack of comprehensiveness and/or contemporaneity among typical reference works on chemical etymology, as well as a somewhat spotty coverage of chemical terms and their etymology in comprehensive dictionaries and textbooks the author decided to write an up-to-date desk reference on chemical etymology which would satisfy the needs of casual readers as well as those of more demanding users of etymological lore. Characteristic user-friendly features of the present work include avoidance of cumbersome abbreviations, avoidance of entries in foreign alphabets, and a broad coverage of all chemical disciplines including mineralogy. Biological, medical, geological, physical and mathematical terms are only considered where they appear of interest to mainstream chemists.
        This book does not provide definitions of terms (unless required in the etymological context) nor guidance as to the timeliness of different nomenclature systems. The typical user will from the outset be well aware of the exact meaning of the terms he or she focuses on and only require the etymological background to be used. Examples of sources which have been drawn upon in the preparation of this book, apart from the extremely useful Internet resource Google, are listed, but an exhausting enumeration would be tiresome and impractical..

        * an up-to-date desk reference on chemical etymology
        * characteristic user-friendly features
        * broad coverage of all chemical disciplines

          The science of cosmetics, the science of beauty care, beauty culture, is the most ancient art of human history. The ancient Egyptians, 4000 A.D., already had perfumeries for elaboration of natural fragrant essences from plants or animal products, and they had shops where they sold cosmetical preparations. The archaeologists found in the tomb of Tutankhamen - king of Egypt 1361-1352 B.C.) pots with creams for the skin, rouge and dyes for the lips. Favorite colours were dark blue for the lips and green for the eye-region. Looking well, appearing healthy and young, has been the desire of mankind since Greek times. The Greek "Kosmetikós" means skilled in the art of decorating, serving to enhance the beauty of the body, or to improve the personal appearance. Cosmetology is the science of body care, the science of beauty, of hygiene, of physical as well as psychological health. Cosmetology thus is the enhancing expression of positive vanity: a caring vanity, caring for our health, our appearance, and our mood.

                        Book Description

                        This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the stratosphere and its role in our understanding of the climate system. The key dynamic, radiative, and chemical processes that determine the distribution of chemical compounds including ozone in the stratosphere are discussed. The chapters contributed by outstanding experts focus not only on fundamental aspects related to these issues, but also present a number of applications including instrumentation, laboratory studies, and atmospheric observations.
