Handbooks

Science

The vast majority of science handbooks are available in print only. Biology, Chemistry & Biochemistry, and Physics handbooks are listed separately on their respective subject guides. See also online science encyclopedias. Below is a selective list of online handbooks.

• Handbook of chemicals and safety
  This handbook provides a tool for the management of a range of chemical substances commonly used, handled, stored, transported, and disposed of as wastes.
• Handbook of industrial chemistry and biotechnology
  Incorporating the most relevant and current technologies and information available in the field, the handbook covers such overarching topics as green engineering, process safety, utilization of renewable resources, fossil fuels, nuclear power, and many of the major individual components of the chemical process industry.
• Handbook of nuclear chemistry
  This set of handbooks covers all of the chemical aspects of nuclear science starting from the physical basics and including such diverse areas as the chemistry of transactinides and exotic atoms as well as radioactive waste management and radiopharmaceutical chemistry relevant to nuclear medicine.
• Springer handbook of atomic, molecular, and optical physics
  This handbook comprises a comprehensive reference source that unifies the entire fields of atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics, assembling the principal ideas, techniques and results of the field from atomic spectroscopy to applications in comets.
• Springer Handbook of Condensed Matter and Materials Data
  This handbook provides a concise compilation of data and functional relationships from the fields of solid-state physics and materials. The data, encapsulated in over 750 tables and 1025 illustrations, have been selected and extracted primarily from the extensive high-quality data collection Landolt-Börnstein and also from other systematic data sources and recent publications of physical and technical property data.
• The handbook of biomarkers
  This handbook serves as a guide to furthering the understanding of biomarkers, which, by facilitating the combination of therapeutics with diagnostics, promise to play an important role in the development of personalized medicine.
• The structure of physical chemistry
  This handbook reveals in one single continuous logical development what each successive kind of physical hypothesis tells us about the nature of things.
