AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding a chemistry resource similar to Bloomfield's "How Things Work," specifically tailored for high school students in their first chemistry course. A suggestion was made to consult the CHEMED-L Google group for recommendations. The highlighted resource is Carl H. Snyder's "The Extraordinary Chemistry of Ordinary Things," which appears to meet the needs of the audience based on initial reviews.

Probably the best place to ask this question is CHEMED-L (google group).
 
I discovered Carl H. Snyder's "The Extraordinary Chemistry of Ordinary Things" and after a few flip throughs it seems to be what I was looking for.
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
