Every once in a while a book presents itself in such a way that it captures the essence of society for a particular segment of culture at a given point in time. That is the case with About Children - a documentary in print offering a multifaceted portrait of today's children. About Children features insightful essays from renowned authorities on ...
Eight chapters by leading researchers examine the use of ground-state experimental and calculational parameters to predict reactivity. Among the topics of discussion are high-resolution X-ray techniques and complimentary calculations to predict electrophilic and nucleophilic sites in molecules, how structural data can be used to assess reactivity ...
Empathy - the sense of being "in feeling" with another - has long been acknowledged as an important part of the therapist-patient bond. But with the advent of managed-care approaches, short-term psychotherapy, and the growing popularity of manualized approaches, empathy has started to take on a diminished role seen as a useful but not vital ...
This book provides readers with examples of the synthesis and applications of large molecules and molecular assemblies designed for their unusual shapes or forms, or for some analytical or synthetic purpose. The chapters address the differing concepts of molecules and materials. Numerous references to original literature and to reviews are ...
Although best known for his detective stories featuring Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle also wrote in other genres, among them science fiction and horror. Some of his best horror stories are collected here for the first time.
Molecular Structure and Energetics Volume 1 Edited by Joel F. Liebman Arthur Greenberg This series has as its theme two of the most widespread, fundamental and important concepts in chemistry: molecular structure and energetics. The scope of the series ranges from species as elegantly simple as elemental boron and carbon to those as ill-defined, ...
The amide linkage is one of the most fundamental and widespread chemical bonds in nature, underlying the properties of a vast array of organic molecules, polymers, and materials, including peptides and proteins. Arthur Greenberg, Curt Breneman, and Joel Liebman's peerless text provides comprehensive coverage of the experimental, structural, and ...
Although the first real unifying theory of chemistry was developed in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, the 20th century saw many advances in the field of chemistry as well. From its Asian and Arabic roots in mystical and spiritual alchemy, ancient medicine, metallurgy, and crafts to the recent decoding of the human genome and the creation ...
In "The Horror of the Heights," aviator Joyce-Armstrong continually asks, "And where, pray, is Lt. Myrtle's head?" At 43,000 feet, beset by creatures of an air jungle, Joyce-Armstrong, to his immense regret, learns exactly what happened to Myrtle's head. In "The American's Tale" a quiet Englishman and an American bully tangle. Only one survives, ...
Internationally renowned experts apply from an interdisciplinary perspective mechanistic principles such as the requirements for electron transfer, the role of binding and proximity, stereoelectronic effects, and structural determination of reaction coordinates to fundamental classes of enzymatic reactions.
