This article restricts itself to what you would not find in most coaching manuals – the physics underlying the basics of batting. Readers with a science/engineering background would appreciate this analysis. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 54-57 http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/13390 Title: Chemistry Education in the 21st Century <br/> <br/>Authors: Bakhshi, A.K.; Rarh, Vimal <br/> <br/>Abstract: <span style="font-size: 14.0pt;font-family:" helvetica","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:helvetica"="">The year 2011 was celebrated as the International <span style="font-size: 14.0pt;font-family:" helvetica","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:helvetica"="">Year of Chemistry (IYC).

Born in 1836, he worked under Wohler at Gottingen and Heinrich Rose at Berlin, getting his doctorate degree in 1856. Returning to the US he established the school of mines in Columbia, where he was a professor for 36 years and dean for 33 years. He earned large fees as a chemical expert, but gave away a large sum of it to the poor and needy students. Dr. Chandler’s lectures were always filled with humor, witty stories and amusing anecdotes. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 26-27
