Book Description
This book explores the rise of the modern U.S. organic chemicals industry through the Bround Book, New Jersey, facility of the American Cyanamid Company. The site was chosen in 1915 by the Calco Chemical Company for the manufacture of coal-tar intermediates and synthetic dyestuffs previously imported from Europe. After Calco was acquired by American Cyanamid in 1929, the facility diversified into sulfa drugs based on dye intermediates, and novel polymers for the first colored molded plastic goods and ubiquitous melamine laminates. Bound Brook was the international leader in instrumental analysis and color matching of dyes, and contributed to the first phase of the instrumental revolution. It introduced continuous, automated process equipment, with the aim of replacing certain batch processes, though the outcomes were not always as intended. The widespread decline in chemical invention and innovation after 1960 had a considerable impact on the affairs of what had become the Organic Chemicals Division of American Cyanamid. Environmental issues concerning the adjacent Raritan River, a source of water and a sink for waste, had also come to the fore. Pressures from state agencies stimulated innovations in the treatment of liquid waste, including in 1957 the largest biological waste-treatment system in New Jersey, and in 1977 and advanced continuous activated-carbon wastewater treatment plant. The inclusion of extensive transcripts from interviews and documents connected with the Bound Brook facility provides historians of science, technology and the environment with valuable resource material. -- P. 4 of cover.

Book Description
In Clues in the Calico Barbara Brackman unveils a much-needed system for dating America's heirloom quilts. She tells how, by collecting and observing quilts and finally analyzing her computer file on close to 900 date-inscribed specimens, she arrived at the system. And through this telling she also imparts a colorful, stunningly illustrated history of quiltmaking along with a good bit of entertaining social history and the newest findings in textile research.

Book Description
Most chemists today have either taken part in, or been affected by, the chemical revolution that has taken place over the course of the last century. Developments in instrumentation have changed not just what chemists do, but also how they think about chemistry. New and exciting areas of previously inaccessible research have been opened up as a direct result of this revolution. This is the first book to examine this instrumental revolution and goes on to assess the impact on chemical practice in areas ranging from organic chemistry and biochemistry to environmental analysis and process control, thus demonstrating how fundamental and extensive are the changes that have occurred. With contributions from internationally recognised specialists, this lavishly illustrated book provides a focal point for any historian of chemistry or chemist with an interest in this fascinating topic. This book is published in association with the Science Museum, London, UK and the Chemical Heritage Foundation, Philadelphia.

Book Description
Delinquency Lessons gives a rare glimpse into the lives of boys left to their own dubious devices. Wiley Reed is a hick from Appalachia trucked up to Bound Brook, New Jersey with his family and just trying to make it back. Join Weeds, his savvy big sister Beulah, and their friends Newsy the savant and tough guy Mazurk on this journey as the crow really flies for the working poor: A little trouble here, a little football there, even some good lovin' in this intimate if precipitous romp through the sixties and seventies when kids were kids, parents were gone, and big black birds were watching.

Book Description
Aniline is the parent molecule of a vast family of aromatic amines. Since its discovery in 1826 it has become one of the hundred most important building blocks in chemistry. Aniline is used as an intermediate in many different fields of applications, such as isocyanates, rubber processing chemicals, dyes and pigments, agricultural chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The understanding of functional groups is key for the understanding of all organic chemistry. In the tradition of the Patai Series, this volume treats all aspects of this functional group. It contains chapters on the theoretical and computational foundations; on analytical and spectroscopical aspects with dedicated chapters on Mass Spectrometry, NMR, IR/UV, etc.; on reaction mechanisms; on applications in syntheses.
