In [C#2], for example, the reviewerstates that the book is negatively evaluated because the references are outdated:[C#2] Although these chapters aim to be molecular than earlier chapters, they arerather cursory and do not discuss recent developments...most developments citedare more than about 20 years old, and more recent work...is not discussed...thereis no discussion of the considerable body of modern theory...Recency in publication can thus be a crucial factor in chemistry and therefore mostBRs bring some reference to time and to how well the book is able to cope with the fastpace of the advances in the discipline.This temporal aspect seems to be regarded as a very important feature in the hardersciences in general. Haas (1994) developed a longitudinal study of the changes verified inone undergraduate student’s reading skills of scientific texts from a superficial reading to amore integral understanding of text as contextualized and motivated discourse.
