The book is a collection of his research papers on chemical dynamics, which is the study of the rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions. Van't Hoff was a Dutch physical chemist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1901 for his work on chemical equilibria and osmotic pressure. In this book, he presents his groundbreaking research on the kinetics of chemical reactions, including the study of reaction rates, reaction mechanisms, and the effects of temperature and pressure on chemical reactions.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of chemical dynamics. Some of the topics covered in the book include the kinetics of gas reactions, the effect of temperature on chemical reactions, the kinetics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, and the study of reaction mechanisms using isotopic labeling. Overall, "Studies in Chemical Dynamics" is a seminal work in the field of physical chemistry and remains an important reference for researchers and students studying chemical kinetics and reaction mechanisms.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. For the first time, here is the true story of the Second World War top secret British invention of the Dome Trainer by Lieutenant Commander Henry Stephens, Royal Navy, from 1939. After naval service in the First World War, including serving on HMS Milbrook at Jutland as a civilian photographer, Henry recognised the nascent threat to a ship from Luftwaffe aircraft flown in the Spanish Civil War, and so developed an indoor cinema to project attacking aircraft and to train gunners. The Royal Navy ordered Henry to re-enlist and secretly develop his Dome Trainer, recognising the imperative to defend shipping from airborne attack. Consequently, the Dome Trainer technology became the standard 'synthetic' weatherproof anti-aircraft training solution. 300 units were deployed around the world, including Sydney, Bombay, Newfoundland and Durban, training Defensively Armed Merchant Ships (DAMS) within crucial Atlantic merchant navy convoys sailing from Britain and the east coast of the USA and Canada. The Maritime Royal Artillery (MRA) was formed in January 1943 for 24 ports with 14,000 men. From early Royal Navy service, a family history as inventors of Stephens Ink and Henry's private journal at the Imperial War Museum, this book brings together new photographs and private correspondence alongside unpublished accounts from those who built and trained with Dome Trainers. The Dome Trainer is placed in context within the offensive and defensive methods developed by Britain, the secret USA 'Pinball' project and recognition by the Cohen Commission of Henry's role as one of the fathers of virtual reality training. In 2015, the BBC broadcast Henry's story in conjunction with the Langham Dome in Norfolk, the only surviving restored and operational unit in Britain. AUTHOR: After many years in business, Ewan Ward-Thomas is a successful History teacher in London. Son of Evelyn Anthony, an international author of historical novels, Ewan grew up with her family history of Stephens Ink alongside a private journal kept by a grandfather, Henry Stephens, RN. The renovation of a Dome Trainer at Langham, Norfolk and the BBC documentary in 2015 provided the jigsaw for his first book. 30 b/w illustrations For the first time, here is the true story of the Second World War top secret British invention of the Dome Trainer by Lieutenant Commander Henry Stephens, Royal Navy, from 1939.
