The Series in 20th Century Chemistry aims to provide a historical perspective on the development and progress of the varied fields now to be found in Chemistry. It achieves this by collecting together all the major papers published by great chemists of this century, in volumes often edited and with commentary by the featured chemist himself/herself. Other volumes in this series may contain histories, or collections of classic papers in a particular area of chemistry. This collection of volumes forms a valuable first-hand record of important discoveries and developments for current and future generations of chemists.
