Bassam Shakhashiris series of handbooks has been acclaimed ever since this first volume appeared in 1983. Teachers have discovered, to their delight, that Shakhashiris demonstrations fascinate, amaze, and teach students the wonders of chemistry. Volume 1 includes demonstrations of thermochemistry, chemiluminescence, polymers, and color and equilibria of metal ion precipitates and complexes. All demonstrations are in the clear & helpful format used in all the volumes: brief description, materials list, preparation procedures, instructions for presentations, important information about potential hazards and safe disposal, and thorough and lucid discussions of the phenomena displayed and principles illustrated.
