GREAT Reference for Anyone Interested in Science
This is great reference that anyone dealing with chemistry or physics shouldn't be without. It contains countless tables including over 11,000 organic compound and over 2000 inorganic compounds. It also has sections on almost every unit of measure and physical constant known to man as well as a definition section. The book contains various tables on certain chemical properties of different substances. The appendices in the back even include every derivative and integral. This is the ultimate reference guide for science students, majors, and even any scientist.

excellent and informative
If you are a physicist you can't go a day without referencing this absolutely essential text. You can find everything from the phsical constants of 3,3-dichloro pentane to the thermodynamic properties of ammonium nitrate. I would also recommend this text as a valuable reference to any student in physics or chemistry.

Excellent source of conversion tables&chemistry information
This book contains several different tables including: conversion tables for nearly every conceivable unit of measure, physical properties of thousands of organic and inorganic compounds, minerals, chemical bond strength information, superconductors, semiconductors, caloric values of food, polymers
