Reviews

"The CRC Handbook has been, in successive editions, on my bedside table for the last 55 years." - Oliver Sacks, Neurologist and author "Exploring[the idea of periodicity] took me away from my lab, took me to a new book that immediately became my bible, the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, a thick, almost cubical book of nearly three thousand pages, containing tables of every imaginable physical and chemical property, many of which, obsessively, I learned by heart." - Oliver Sacks in Uncle Tungsten, Memories of a Chemical Boyhood, Vintage Books, 2001
