Constant Change, Enduring Value

“I fell in love with it straightaway… for its tables were so full of information that I thought of it as containing the whole universe between its covers.”

—Oliver Sacks. M.D., Physician, Author, Neurologist

Designed to fit into the pockets of the rubber aprons worn by chemists, the Handbook has become a trusted reference available in print, DVD, eBook, and online formats. Updated nearly 95 times, it continues to be a mainstay of the science, technical and medical science communities. And in every stage of the Handbook’s evolution, we’ve focused on providing information to these communities on the platform and in the format they prefer.

Versatile, Comprehensive, and Seemingly Endless Information

“People who have interviewed me have commented on the extensive knowledge that I have about the properties of substances … I attribute this knowledge in part to the fact that I possessed the Rubber Handbook …”

—Linus Pauling

Don’t be fooled by the name, the Handbook reaches beyond chemistry and physics to provide organized, easy to use, and a seemingly infinite number of charts and graphs on everything science-related. The huge handbook provides physical and/or chemical data useful to every scientific discipline
