Introduction to Stereochemistry

Sinopse

CHEMISTRY STUDENT GUIDES. GUIDED BY STUDENTSWhy did the drug thalidomide cause birth defects? What is the chemical difference between sucrose and lactose in your food? Stereochemistry holds the answer and is essential to the understanding of the chemistry of life.
Stereochemistry is an important concept that often causes confusion amongst students when they learn it for the first time. Unlike most other areas of chemistry, it requires the chemist to visualise molecules in 3D, which can be difficult. In this book we deal with tricky concepts like conformation and configuration, how to represent them accurately and how to use the correct terms to describe them in both organic and inorganic chemistry. We involved students in the writing process to ensure we deal with areas that you find difficult, in an understandable language. With problems designed to focus on common errors and misconceptions, real life examples, and practical hands-on exercises coupled with visualisation tips, our intention is to give you the tools to become confident in stererochemistry.
Complementing mainstream organic textbooks, or self-study, this book is for anyone who has struggled with describing alkenes as E or Z, assigning R and S absolute configurations, drawing Newman projections or chair representations of cyclohexanes, axial chirality, understanding the stereochemistry of octahedral metal complexes and indeed explaining complexities observed in NMR spectra.
Chemistry Student Guides are written with current students involved at every stage, guiding the books towards the most challenging aspects of the topic. Student co-authors for Introduction to Stereochemistry are Caroline Akamune, Michael Lloyd and Matthew Taylor.

A Mild Case of Dead - The unseen...

Dave Young

A Mild Case of Dead examines the folly of pursuing greater satisfaction in life through the goals of health, fitness, and weight loss. It occurs to us as logical to seek these qualities as a way to be more satisfied with our lives, but we seek them only because of a dissatisfaction with our lives. The human design is to be more satisfied with life first. When you’re guided by humanity instead of logic your physical state becomes a byproduct of that satisfaction, not the way to it.  
Written and narrated by the author, the book explains why he chose to abandon this work and close his gym forever. He realized that the issues that cause people to pursue health and fitness strategies are never resolved with the minutiae of programs or routines or diets because they are internal struggles first. 
The natural way to be satisfied with your body is to be satisfied with your life. Any other process is only a theory about life, not the real thing.

Tracing Your Scottish Ancestry...

Chris Patton

“The ideal instructional guide and reference for anyone doing genealogical research” by the author of Tracing Your Scottish Family History on the Internet (Midwest Book Review).   Despite its Union with England and Wales in 1707, Scotland remained virtually independent from its partners in many ways, retaining its own legal system, its own state church, and its own education system.   In Tracing Scottish Ancestry Through Church and State Records, genealogist Chris Paton examines the most common records used by family historians in Scotland, ranging from the vital records kept by the state and the various churches, the decennial censuses, tax records, registers of land ownership and inheritance, and records of law and order.   Through precepts of clare constat and ultimus haeres records, feudalism and udal tenure, to irregular marriages, penny weddings and records of sequestration, Chris Paton expertly explores the unique concepts and language within many Scottish records that are simply not found elsewhere within the British Isles. He details their purpose and the information recorded, the legal basis by which they were created, and where to find them both online and within Scotland’s many archives and institutions.   “A useful and very readable introduction to Scottish records, with many case studies to assist the reader, but there is also much in it that may be new to more experienced family historians.” —The Local Historian, journal of the British Association for Local History   “Leads the reader through the Scottish record jungle.” —Canada’s Anglo-Celtic Connections
