Computational methods are transforming the work of chemical and pharmaceutical laboratories. Increasingly faster and more exact simulation algorithms have made quantum chemistry a valuable tool in the search for active substances. Written by a team o…

As a consequence of recent increased awareness of the social and political dimensions of climate, many non-specialists discover a need for information about the variety of available climate models. A Climate Modelling Primer, Third Edition explains t…

This new work contains the first integrated discussion of the role of olfaction in mosquito-host interactions. It covers the practical applications of this knowledge in attempting to control malaria as a problem for world health. The volume begins wi…

This two-volume handbook offers a comprehensive and well coordinated presentation of SQUIDs (Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices), including device fundamentals, design, technology, system construction and multiple applications. It is intend…

In this first book to present every important aspect of this fascinating and developing field, the three editors A. Hagemeyer, P. Strasser and A. F. Volpe Jr. from Symyx Technologies have chosen a perfect mixture of distinguished, international autho…

Все, что у нас есть и чем мы способны управлять – текущий момент. Но вместо активного преобразующего действия мы руководствуемся древними артефактами мышления, строим автоматические умозаключения в спектре «черное-белое», игнорируя факт разнообразия…

Слезы сопровождают нас с первого вздоха на протяжении всей жизни. Они знаменуют самые радостные и печальные события, помогают выразить то, для чего у нас не находится слов. Слезы могут быть как проявлением искренних чувств, так и оружием, которое пом…

Экология – это то, что нас окружает. Насколько буквально стоит воспринимать эти слова? Вы знаете, как связаны экология и ваш завтрак? Могут ли аквариумные золотые рыбки разрушить экосистему? Почему в Китае Н&М не показывают на карте? Зачем Гринпис бо…

The chemistry of superacids has developed in the last two decades into a field of growing interest and importance. Now available in a new expanded second edition, this definitive work on superacids offers a comprehensive review of superacids and disc…

Homogeneous asymmetric catalysis offers reliable results and the possibility to 'tune' the catalysis on a rational basis. A pitfall, however, is that the separation of the catalyst from the starting material and products is difficult and often result…

This is a book for developers of catalysts, and for practitioners working in the field of design, operation, and optimization of chemical reactors in which heterogeneous catalysis is performed. It is designed to give a better understanding of the phe…

Associating ice masses with the transport and deposition of sediments has long formed a central theme in glaciology and glacial geomorphology. The reason for this focus is clear, in that ice masses are responsible for much of the physical landscape w…
