�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Michael Clugston was born in Lurgan, Northern Ireland, in 1950 and educated at Epsom
College and Wadham College, Oxford, where he was the Major Scholar in Chemistry in
1969. During the four-year Chemistry course he won university prizes both for Finals and for
research done during the fourth year. He then stayed on for another two years to research for
a D.Phil. in theoretical chemistry, under the guidance of Peter Atkins. He spent a year as a
Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard before returning to the UK to get married. He held an SRC
Fellowship at Cambridge, as well as a Research Fellowship at St Edmund's College, Cambridge.
In 1978 he went into full-time school mastering at Tonbridge School, where he has
been ever since. He has published textbooks for the Advanced-level market, Principles of
Physical Chemistry and Chemistry: Principles and Applications (with Peter Atkins), as well as
several sets of computer programs. With the huge changes that have occurred at Advanced
level, he has written a completely new textbook, Advanced Chemistry, which was published in
2000 by Oxford University Press. He was shortlisted for the Salters Prize for Chemistry
teachers in the same year.

Anbieterinformationen

We are a family run online bookshop based in Wales at the western edge of the Brecon Beacons National park and have been selling books online since October 2004. I have always had a love of books and it eventually got to the stage where my own book collection began to take over the family home! I reluctantly decided to sell a few of my own books on Amazon and was astonished at how quickly they sold. I was hooked and decided to start buying and selling books as a small part-time business from my spare bedroom. The business rapidly expanded, taking over the spare bedroom and my garage, swiftly followed by a spare bedroom in my mother's house and her garage! I acquired a small industrial unit in February 2007 and took the plunge to go full-time in March 2007, closely followed by my wife in September 2007. In October 2007 we moved in to larger premises and also took on our first members of staff to assist with the ever increasing workload. Our aim is to ensure that the people who buy our books enjoy the same service that we would hope for when purchasing a book ourselves. To that end, we endeavour to give all our books accurate descriptions, price them accordingly and dispatch swiftly and safely. All orders are dispatched within one working day, Monday to Friday. We will endeavour to answer all queries by email within 24 hours.
