Beschreibung

In this captivating book, we invite you to explore the fascinating world of organic chemistry, where molecules dance to the rhythm of reactions, creating a symphony of life and matter. Discover the intricate mechanisms by which organic molecules transform, the delicate balance of forces that govern their behavior, and the hidden melodies and harmonies that orchestrate the molecular world.

Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-based compounds, the building blocks of all living things. From the simplest hydrocarbons to the complex molecules that make up DNA, organic compounds play a vital role in our world. This book takes you on a journey through the captivating realm of organic chemistry, revealing the secrets of these remarkable substances.

Unravel the language of functional groups, the molecular building blocks that determine the properties and reactivity of organic compounds. Witness the dance of electrons, as they leap from atom to atom, forming and breaking bonds, creating new molecules and transforming old ones. Explore the mechanisms by which organic molecules react, the intricate steps that lead to the formation of new substances.

Discover the power of catalysts, the molecular maestros that accelerate reactions, and the influence of temperature, pressure, and other factors on the outcome of chemical transformations. Delve into the world of biomolecules, the organic compounds that make up living organisms, and understand how they interact to create the symphony of life.

The Language of Climate Politics...

Genevieve Guenther

In an illuminating analysis, Dr. Genevieve Guenther shows that the climate debate is not, in fact, neatly polarized, with Republicans obstructing climate action and Democrats advancing climate solutions. Partisans on the right and the left often repeat the same fossil-fuel talking points, and this repetition produces a centrist consensus upholding the status quo, even as global heating accelerates. 
 
 
 
Weaving this analysis through fascinating critical histories of the terms that dominate the language of climate politics—the words we, alarmist, cost, growth, "India and China," innovation, and resilience—Dr. Guenther shows how this consensus is established. Fossil-fuel interests weaponize the discourses of science, economics, and activism, co-opting and twisting climate language to help greenwash their plans for ongoing extraction. But all too often climate scientists, economists, and even advocates will unwittingly echo the false and dangerous assumptions of their supposed political opponents. This apparent agreement between foes, filtered through the news media, not only influences our commonsense yet mistaken views about the climate crisis but also enables powerful decisionmakers to justify the corporate and policy actions that threaten us all. Revealing this dynamic, Guenther shows how to transform it.

Finding Genius: Understanding...

Richard Jacobs

This book is for three kinds of audiences: 1) curious amateurs interested in science or overall wellness, 2) anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer or knows someone who has, and 3) medical, bioengineering, or other professionals who have a general knowledge of and curiosity about any or all aspects of cancer biology and treatment, but who are not experts in the field.
This book is the result of 70+ interviews of genius-level medical and science professionals, primarily in cancer biology, research, and medicine. They have all been asked the same set of questions, and have answered to the best of their ability and knowledge.
What you’re about to read is the answers to these questions, not from all the individuals, but from the most interesting 4 to 9 who answered each question.
At the start of my journey in science, I already had a B.S. in Chemical Engineering, but that was from 1998, certainly not 2016 when I started. Reading scientific papers was difficult at first – I understood about 10% of what I was reading. As I interviewed more scientists, researchers, clinicians and others, I started to pick up the vocabulary and thinking process needed to read scientific papers.
After a year of reading, my comprehension increased, and now stands at around 70%, typically. In the areas of physics or other sciences in which I’m not conversant, I understand about 30%. In advanced math, since it’s a language unto itself, especially at high levels, I am back to the 10% level. Apply yourself, and you’ll be surprised by what you can learn in a year’s time.

The Back Story on Spine Care - A...

Dr. Drew Bednar

“A tour de force of spine care from a master spine surgeon who has literally seen it all over the course of a four-decade career! This book is a must-read that is accessible to both the layperson and healthcare professionals. I found it both enjoyable and informative.” — Dr. Andrew J. Schoenfeld, Harvard Medical School professor and Spine editor in chief
		 
A practical and occasionally provocative look at the state of spinal surgical care
		 
Just a few decades ago most spine surgery was literally a gamble: maybe you’d get better and maybe you wouldn’t. Today we have the knowledge, understanding, and technology to predictably relieve pain and neurological deficits like never before — yet many patients are still getting subpar care.  
		 
Foundational knowledge of surgical spine care isn’t spreading to the medical community, let alone to patients, whose quality of life hangs in the balance. With The Back Story on Spine Care, orthopedic specialist Dr. Drew Bednar presents case studies that illuminate the common issues plaguing patients — and their treatment — today.
		 
Back problems are among the most common health issues, and with Dr. Bednar’s insights, knowledge, and practical tips, medical professionals can provide care that leads to healthier backs and happier lives.
