This journey through the fascinating world of molecular topology focuses on catenanes, rotaxanes and knots, their synthesis, properties, and applications and the theory of interlocking and interpenetrating molecules. Nearly one hundred years of progress have passed since Willstatter's speculative vision of a molecule consisting of two interlinked rings. But even today the synthesis of such structu…
The synthesis of macrocycles is an art in itself. Template-controlled synthesis provides elegant access to fascinating macrocyclic structures. Polyazamacrocycles, crown ethers, cryptands, rotaxanes, knots – the range of macrocyclic compounds is as broad as their potential application as molecular switches, in ion exchange, electron transfer or catalysis. This book provides authoritative informatio…
A new volume in the «Perspectives in Supramolecular Chemistry» series focusing on separating supramolecular structures, a key step in supramolecular chemistry. Two guest editors have been at the forefront of the development of chromatographical methods to deal with supramolecular systems. Reactions of supramolecular structures show the way into the future of chemistry. Fumio Toda is one of the dri…
Fractals, Diffusion and Relaxation in Disordered Complex Systems is a special guest-edited, two-part volume of Advances in Chemical Physics that continues to report recent advances with significant, up-to-date chapters by internationally recognized researchers.

New Frontiers in Asymmetric Catalysis gives readers a fundamental understanding of the concepts and applications of asymmetric catalysis reactions and discusses the latest developments and findings. With contributi…
Роман Марселя Пруста (1871–1922) В поисках утраченного времени является со времен его публикации в 1910–1920-х годах неослабевающим вызовом читателям всего мира. Что это: необозримая книга-собор в традиции больших романов XIX века, панорама рафинированной культуры Европы «конца прекрасной эпохи», сметенной мировыми войнами, опыт философского осмысления памяти средствами литературы, попытка автора …
«Государь» Никколо Макиавелли – одна из самых известных и в то же время неоднозначных книг о политике, а точнее – об идеальном образе политического деятеля. Трактат долгое время был запрещен католической церковью, настолько скандальными и спорными казались рассуждения автора. Возможно, современному читателю мысли Макиавелли уже не покажутся столь неоднозначными, ведь многие его постулаты нашли отр…
Сёрен Кьеркегор (1813–1855) – датский философ, теолог, писатель и критик – по праву считается предтечей и одновременно основателем европейского экзистенциализма. Книга содержит религиозные тексты Сёрена Кьеркегора, в которых автор обсуждает избранные цитаты Священного Писания. С удивительной глубиной и проникновенностью размышляет он о существе человеческого выбора, о времени в его экзистенциально…
Молодёжная революция 1960-х изменила мир. Пуританская мораль, христианство, либерализм, выборы, парламент – старые идолы были сброшены. Наступили новые времена, долгожданная «эра Водолея». Но были ли счастливы сами революционеры? Добились ли они своего? Не разочаровались ли в результатах своей работы? В своей последней книге великий философ, идеолог молодёжной революции Герберт Маркузе подвергает …
This concise introduction to the fundamentals of biological treatment of wastewater describes how to model and integrate biological steps into industrial processes. The book first covers the chemical, physical and biological basics, including wastewater characteristics, microbial metabolism, determining stoichiometric equations for catabolism and anabolism, measurements of mass transfer and respir…

The Novartis Foundation Series is a popular collection of the proceedings from Novartis Foundation Symposia, in which groups of leading scientists from a range of topics across biology, chemistry and medicine assembled to present papers and discuss results. The Novartis Foundation, originally known as the Ciba Foundation, is well known to scientists and clinicians around the world.
Gene flow is not unique to genetically modified (GM) crops, but the possibility of the spread of transgenic DNA to wild and domesticated relatives raises a new set of issues for scientists and policymakers to consider. Unfortunately, we are still too often unable to quantify the risks of ecological damage associated with gene flow. This is due partly to the huge breadth of knowledge required to as…
Evidence grows daily of the changing climate and its impact on plants and animals. Plant function is inextricably linked to climate and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. On the shortest and smallest scales, the climate affects the plant’s immediate environment and so directly influences physiological processes. At larger scales, the climate influences species distribution and community com…
