This book selects a number of breakthroughs and examples in
the development of new energy technology,biotechnology, novel
materials and drugs, environmental technology, and other fields.
A few historic events and figures designated by the American
Chemical Society as "Chemical Landmarks" are adopted. Also
featured in the book are a group of original papers and patent
documents in the cutting-edge fields of chemistry and chemical
industry. Stories about how the chemists and engineers vigorously
explored and made great inventions are described in the book.
Following the texts in each unit are notes, words with
pronunciations and meanings, quiz including exercises and drills
for reading comprehension and short compositions, and in-class
discussion themes.This book also explains in detail how to
comprehend and utilize papers and patent documents, and how to
write and revise papers in practice.
The book contains a significant amount of technical
terminology. Lists of common glossaries with concise explanations
are provided in the end of the book. Basic laboratory tools are
also illustrated graphically. Records of famous chemists and
engineers with their lives and areas of expertise can be used as
a reference. This book serves as a textbook in bilingual
education in colleges for juniors and seniors, as well as
graduate students, who are non-native speakers of English but
majoring in chemistry, applied chemistry, chemical engineering,
materials chemistry and related disciplines. The book is also an
indispensable working resource for scientists, chemists,and
engineers in chemical industry and academia. This book is printed
in bicolor to improve readability.
