Description and Table of Contents

Description

The "Profiles, Pathways and Dreams" series is a "who's who" of organic chemistry that follows the lives of some of chemistry's most eminent and prolific scientists. Each contributor describes his research and science over the range of his career. Together, these autobiographies illustrate how various disciplines of chemistry have progressed over the past 50 years. This book looks at the life and work of the scientist F.G.A. Stone. It discusses the nature of scientific funding, and academics in Britain and in the USA. Stone and his group synthesized many organometallic molecules having previously unknown characteristics, leading to an understanding of the structure and reactivity of many organometallic substances.
