Synopses & Reviews
When Scenes of Clerical Life--Eliot's first work of fiction--first appeared in print anonymously in 1857, critics immediately hailed it for its humorous irony, the truthfulness of its presentation of the lives of ordinary men and women, and its compassionate acceptance of human weakness. The three stories that comprise the volume foreshadow Eliot's greatest work, and an acquaintance with them is essential to a full understanding of one of the greatest English novelists.
Review
"Dr Kettle has produced a significant and thorough work on coordination chemistry ... The strength of this lies in its expertly structured and written text, clear diagrams, effective use of appendices, and excellent selections of further reading ... a thorough and scholarly work which does fill a
gap in the market."--Terence Kee, Education in Chemistry, September 1997 |d 1997/11/28
