	The CRC		The ''CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics'' is a compilation of definitions and data of very great value to a scientists and engineers. It is know as "the rubber bible" because its publisher, CRC, which originally manufactured rubber aprons and other rubber products, was founded as the Chemical Rubber Company. CRC became part of the UK publisher Informa in 2004. Such handbooks and, therefore, the work of editors such as David Lide are of great importance.

			Lide was also:
	*Member of editorial board, ''Applied Spectroscopy Reviews'', 1968-76, and the ''Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Science'', 1986-89.		*Member of editorial board, ''Applied Spectroscopy Reviews'', 1968-76, and the ''Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Science'', 1986-89.
