Essays in Honor of Wolfgang Yourgrau

By: Alwyn Van der Merwe

Simply to say that this is a collection of essays in honor of the late Wolfgang Yourgrau (1908-1979) is to explain, at least for-the obviously many-"insiders," the unusually wide-ranging title of the present volume. In a Foreword to the Proceedings of the First International Colloquium (focusing on logic, physical reality, and history), held at the University of Denver in May of 1966 under their leadership, Wolfgang Y ourgrau and Allen Breck wrote, in an oblique reference to C. P. Snow: "Indeed there are not two or three or four cultures: there is only one culture; our generation has lost its awareness of this . . . . Historians, logicians, physicists-all are banded in one common enterprise, namely in their des ire to weave an enlightened fabric of human knowledge. " Augment, if you will, the foregoing categories of scholars with biologists, philos ophers, cosmologists, and theologians-all of whom, in addition to historians, Wolf gang Yourgrau, by dint of his inextinguishable enthusiasm and charismatic qualities, assembled in Denver for the Second and Third International Colloquia (in 1967 and 1974, respectively)-and a few other besides, and one arrives at a statement of the credo wh ich Y ourgrau not only professed, but consistently exemplified throughout his adult life.

By: Alwyn G. Davies

At long last: The second, completely revised edition of this comprehensive standard reference. Alwyn G. Davies has updated the contents of his book to reflect the current state of research into organotin chemistry. He covers all aspects in detail, such as its synthesis, characterization, structures and applications, while also devoting space to such hot topics as environmental issues. This new edition also includes a CD-ROM with more than 5,000 references, making this database an invaluable tool for everyone working in the field. "The text is well written, extremely accessible and very comprehensive: particularly impressive is the inclusion of up-to-the-minute references in these areas...." - Advanced Materials, 13 (1998) "The standard of production is very good, with well-structured tables and an abundance of clear formula schemas, which enable the reader to quickly grasp the essence of the text." - Angewandte Chemie 16, 1997
