Polymer Synthesis - Theory into Practice

Omkar Mishra

Sinopsis

"Polymer Synthesis: Theory into Practice" delves into the principles, methods, and applications of polymer synthesis. Authored by leading experts, we provide an extensive resource for researchers, students, and professionals in polymer chemistry.
We begin with an overview of polymer fundamentals, including molecular structure, polymerization mechanisms, and characterization techniques. We then explore various polymerization methods, such as radical, cationic, anionic, and ring-opening polymerizations, offering detailed insights into reaction mechanisms and kinetics.
Our book also covers advanced topics like living polymerization techniques, controlled radical polymerization, and the synthesis of complex polymer architectures, such as block copolymers and dendrimers. We emphasize designing polymers with tailored properties for specific applications in fields like biomedicine, electronics, and nanotechnology.
We highlight emerging trends and innovations in polymer synthesis, including green chemistry, sustainable polymers, and polymer nanocomposites. Each chapter features illustrative examples, case studies, and practical applications to help readers grasp key concepts and apply them to real-world scenarios.
"Polymer Synthesis: Theory into Practice" is an invaluable resource for academics, researchers, and professionals in polymer science and engineering.

The Microscopic World Inside and...

Martin K. Ettington

We live surrounded by an invisible world which affects our lives in many ways.In this book we will take a journey from barely visible life, to cells, their structures, molecules, atoms, fundamental particles and even smaller.We will explore not just the facts about this small world, but also try to unearth interesting facts to ponder too.For example, what did paranormal investigators believe about the structure of atoms over one hundred years ago?And what particles or forces might be smaller than the standard building block particles we know about today?Also, what are the limitations of the standard model of subatomic particles?There are many things in the microscopic world which you might not expect.The journey from the small to the infinitely small starts here.

Human Spaceflight - From Mars to...

Louis Friedman

Mars, a mysterious dust-ridden place, is most like Earth in its climate and seasons. Of all the possible destinations in space to travel, Mars is the most likely for humans to reach. According to esteemed scientist Louis Friedman, it may be the only destination outside the moon to ever see human footprints. 
 
 
 
Far from diminishing our future in space, Human Spaceflight lays out a provocative future for human space travel. The noted aerospace engineer and scientist says that human space exploration will continue well into the future, but space travel by humans will stop at Mars. Instead, nanotechnology, space sails, robotics, biomolecular engineering, and artificial intelligence will provide the vehicles of the future for an exciting evolution not just of space travel but of humankind. 
 
 
 
Friedman has worked with agencies around the globe on space exploration projects to extend human presence beyond Mars and beyond the solar system. He writes that once we accept Mars as the only viable destination for humans, our space program on planet Earth can become more exciting and more relevant. Mars, he writes, will take hundreds, even thousands, of years to settle. During that time, humans and all our supporting technologies will evolve, allowing our minds to be present throughout the universe while our bodies stay home on Earth and Mars.

Second Lives - The Journey of...

Ralph B. Lilly MD, Diane F....

One man’s journey from doctor to patient to healer. Second Lives is a first-hand account of neurologist Ralph Lilly’s recovery from a traumatic brain injury and how the lessons of his recovery enabled him to help others with their own recoveries.  
“Discharged from a hospital just means you’re not dead.” These words of Ralph B. Lilly, M.D., describe his early struggle to recover from a traumatic brain injury. Lilly was a forty-four-year-old practicing neurologist sitting on his motorcycle at a red light when a drunk driver rear-ended him in 1980. In the ICU, after regaining consciousness and being told what happened, he asked, “What’s a hospital? What’s a motorcycle?” This tragic experience transformed his life and his approach to his neurology practice: doctors treat those with brain injury; but loved ones heal them. 
Second Lives: The Journey of Brain Injury Survivors and Their Healers is written by Dr. Lilly and Diane F. Kramer. After his death in 2021, Kramer completed the book with the assistance of Lilly’s wife, Joyce Stamp Lilly. This memoir weaves together Ralph Lilly’s experience with a collage of stories about his patients and their healers. After his recovery, Lilly retrained in the emerging field of behavioral neurology, which focuses on behavior, memory, cognition, and emotion after brain injury.

The Tech Coup - How to Save...

Marietje Schaake

Under the cover of "innovation," technology companies have successfully resisted regulation and have even begun to seize power from governments themselves. Facial recognition firms track citizens for police surveillance. Cryptocurrency has wiped out the savings of millions and threatens the stability of the global financial system. Spyware companies sell intelligence tools to anyone who can afford them. This new reality—where unregulated technology has become a forceful instrument for autocrats worldwide—is terrible news for democracies and citizens. 
 
 
 
In The Tech Coup, Marietje Schaake explains how technology companies crept into nearly every corner of our lives and our governments. She takes us beyond the headlines to high-stakes meetings with human rights defenders, business leaders, computer scientists, and politicians to show how technologies have gone from being heralded as utopian to undermining the pillars of our democracies. To reverse this existential power imbalance, Schaake outlines solutions to empower elected officials and citizens alike. Democratic leaders can—and must—resist the influence of corporate lobbying and reinvent themselves as dynamic, flexible guardians of our digital world. Schaake offers a frightening look at our modern tech-obsessed world—and a clear-eyed view of how democracies can build a better future before it is too late.

North York Moors and Yorkshire...

Tony Waltham

This book is one of a popular series that seeks to tell the story of some of Britain's most beautiful landscapes. Written with the general reader – the walker, the lover of the countryside – firmly in mind, these pages open the door to a fascinating story of bygone oceans, deltas, mineralisation and glacial landscapes.
Millions of years ago, rocks that now form the lovely terrains of the Moors and Wolds were laid down on the floors of shallow seas, and were then deformed by plate tectonics before being shaped by streams and rivers. The sandstones were left to form the high Moors, whereas the chalk was carved into the rolling Wolds. Ice Age lakes came and went, and all the time wave action was fretting the coastline into glorious and varied profiles.
With the help of numerous maps, diagrams and photographs, most of which are taken from his personal collection, geologist Tony Waltham tells the fascinating story of eastern Yorkshire, explaining just how the landscapes of sandstone uplands, chalk hills and clay vales came to look as they do. Including suggestions for walks and places to visit to appreciate the best of the inland and coastal landforms, this accessible and readable book opens up amazing new perspectives for all who are interested in the diverse landscapes of this beautiful area.
