Princeton: Princeton University Press.

"Birds at Rest is the first book to give a full picture of how birds rest, roost, and sleep, a vital part of their lives. It features new science that can measure what is happening in a bird’s brain over the course of a night or when it has flown to another hemisphere, as well as still-valuable observations by legendary naturalists such as John James Audubon, Alfred Russel Wallace, and Theodore Roosevelt. Much of what they saw and what ornithologists are studying today can be observed and enjoyed by any birder."
Chan, K.S. and Tan, J. (2024)

"Written for students taking either the University of Cambridge Advanced Level examinations or the International Baccalaureate examinations, this guidebook covers essential topics and concepts under both stipulated chemistry syllabi. The book is written in such a way as to guide the reader through the understanding and applications of essential chemical concepts using the problem solving approach. The authors have also retained the popular discourse feature from their previous two books — Understanding Advanced Physical Inorganic Chemistry and Understanding Advanced Organic and Analytical Chemistry — to help learners better understand and see for themselves how the concepts should be applied to solve problems. Based on the Socratic Method, questions are implanted throughout the book to help facilitate the reader's development in forming logical conclusions of concepts and the way they are being applied to explain the problems. In addition, the authors have also included important summaries and concept maps to help learners recall, remember, reinforce and apply the fundamental chemical concepts in a simple way."

"An accessible introduction to one of the primary fields of study in Inorganic Chemistry, revised to incorporate contemporary topics and applications

Written in a highly readable, descriptive, and accessible style, Introduction to Coordination Chemistry examines and explains the interaction between metals and molecules that bind as ligands and the consequences of this assembly process. The book describes the chemical and physical properties and behavior of these complex assemblies and their applications. The contents of this book tell a story, taking the reader from fundamentals, including metal ions, ligands, metal-ligand bonding, and structure, to key concepts, such as stability, synthesis and mechanisms, properties, and characterization. Subsequent chapters address applications involving metals in biology, medicine, and industrial chemistry."

"Understand the properties and consequences of chemical pollutants

Environmental chemistry is the field of study which focuses on chemical species, natural or man-made, and their impact on the atmosphere, water, and soils. It’s a growing area of research and technological development, increasingly prominent in university chemistry curricula. There is more demand than ever for a strong textbook overview of this thriving interdisciplinary subject and its myriad applications."
