A supplement to Salem Press’s Careers in Science, a career-focused series exploring the fields and occupations of physics, chemistry, and other sciences with an emphasis on StEM (Science, technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) occupations and outlooks, Contemporary Biographies in Chemistry is a collection of biographies of “living leaders” in the field of chemistry. Culled from the pages of Current Biography, the monthly magazine renowned for its unfailing accuracy, insightful selection and the wide scope of influence of its subjects, these up-to-date profiles draw from a variety of resources and are an invaluable source for researchers, teachers, students, and librarians.
