Chemists in the World
In Revised Nuffield Chemistry the book called Chemists in the World replaced many of the Stage II and Stage III Background Books from the first edition of the course. In their place the new text, which was largely edited from the old Background books, covered topics in the history of chemistry and modern chemical applications. The book provided background reading for Stage II of the course and for several of the Options in Stage III.
