The other was the reluctance of two or even three people to undertake the daunting task of covering all the ground. Our response was to call on others to help and, thus, to produce the present, multiauthored volume. Each of the contributing authors was in a position to write - thoritatively, from hands-on research experience. We are con? dent that this has led to a better book than the three of us would have produced. As...

A giant in the field and at times a polarizing figure, F. Albert Cotton's contributions to inorganic chemistry and the area of transitions metals are substantial and undeniable. In his own words, My Life in the Golden Age of Chemistry: More Fun than Fun describes the late chemist's early life and college years in Philadelphia, his graduate training and research contributions at Harvard with Geoffrey Wilkinson, and his academic career from becoming the youngest ever full professor at MIT (aged 31) to his extensive time at Texas A&M. Professor Cotton's autobiography offers his unique...
