May 7, 2012 - PRLog -- Mirroring the growth and direction of science for a century, the Handbook, now in its 93rd edition, continues to be the most accessed and respected scientific reference in the world. An authoritative resource consisting of tables of data, its usefulness spans every discipline. This edition includes seventeen new tables in the Analytical Chemistry section, a major update of the CODATA Recommended Values of the Fundamental Physical Constants and updates to many other tables. The book puts physical formulas and mathematical tables used in labs every day within easy reach. The 93rd edition is the first edition to be available as an ebook.

Praise for the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics

"The Handbook has always provided a thorough range of critically evaluated data in a convenient, one-volume format. Over the period of last almost two decades it has addressed environmental concerns by providing data on pollutants, contaminants, global warming, and ground water contamination. It also has supported the advances in semiconductors and high-temperature superconductors, and amended pertinent data to stay current with IUPAC standards."
—Gupta Verlag

"The ultimate book of facts about chemistry and physics. This is a book that covers virtually every element, every physical formula, and every mathematical table imaginable. It is hard to imagine any library, laboratory, or university that doesn’t have a copy."
—Books-On-Line, February, 2009

“Regardless of user preferences for print, online, or CD-ROM formats, what really matters is the phenomenal content of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics. ... Highly recommended.”
—S. Korolev, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, in Choice Magazine, October 2007, Vol. 45, no. 2 (on the 88th Edition)

“In our view, this is a well written and beautifully presented handbook, reasonably priced, and houses a diverse range of data and information required by professionals. The data contained within this edition is concise, consistent, and reliable, in-line with the aim of the Handbook. It is, in our opinion, a prerequisite for any investigational research in the physical sciences...”
—Usman Iqbal Lula, Dorset Cancer Centre, Poole General Hospital, UK, and Sadiq Iqbal Lula, Cambridge Research Centre, Pfizer Inc., UK, in Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, December 2007, Vol. 8, issue 2 (on the 87th Edition)

“...What I think I like most [about this edition] is quite simply its authority, which comes from both its age and the constant revisions... This publication has a long and honorable track record... I’ve had a copy since my undergraduate days and it’s easily the most consistently useful single source of information I have. ...Unequivocal recommendation for the library...a personal copy is a thoroughly worthwhile and long-lasting investment. ...A scientific must-have.”
— Martin Preston, Dept. of Earth and Ocean Sciences, University of Liverpool, UK, in Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, Vol. 7, issue 1 (on the 86th Edition)

“This handbook is arguably one of the most well-known reference books in the world....If you are looking for data on the properties of a material, this is a great reference to have handy... .”
