The Laboratory -
A Science Reference and Preparation Manual for Schools (Revised)
By Barbara Dungey, 285 pages, soft cover.
This is the "must have"
manual for laboratory managers and technicians in schools. This
revised printing is made up of seven sections plus a comprehensive
index:
-
Chemicals and
Gases. A full reference section followed by a detailed
table of information on common laboratory chemicals.
-
Recipes and Beyond.
Recipes, formulas and procedures for preparing just about anything
you might ever need in your laboratory. Not sure how to
prepare a solution of methyl cellulose for microscopy, or how to
make play dough? This is the place to look.
-
Indicators, Stains and Test
Reagents. A full reference section followed by an
alphabetical list of methods for preparing and using dozens of
indicators, stains and test reagents.
-
The ABC of Media. This
is the section for microbiologists. The reference section
covers procedures and methods for preparing media and cultures,
choosing and using the right equipment, and working safely with
micro-organisms. This is followed by an exhaustive list of
recipes for dozens of different culture media.
-
Electronic Components.
Covers the function and use of electrical components, symbols,
circuit diagrams and trouble shooting.
-
Conversions. Very
useful when explaining American non-metric terminology (e.g. how
many litres in a US gallon?), and for seeing how far we have come
(e.g. how many pecks make a bushel?).
-
Units, Symbols and Constants.
A comprehensive and definitive reference for every property and
value you'll ever encounter, and then some.
