content: By 1880, German-speaking chemists, physicist, mineralogists, chemical engineers, and pharmacists were willing to purchase an annual update of technical information in their discipline. That year Rudolf Bidermann (1844-1929) began publishing his <I>Chemiker-Kalendar</I>. By 1914, when this thirty-fifth edition of the book appeared, it took up two volumes. This is the first of the two volumes. It includes a calendar for the year (including notes on events important to the history of science that occurred on different dates), advertisements for apparatus and publications, and extensive information on chemical elements and compounds.
