Мы все в той или иной мере подвержены суевериям, и вместе с тем каждый из нас порой считает их глупыми выдумками. Такие общепринятые, хоть и не подкрепленные логикой убеждения присущи всем людям независимо от религии, культуры или национальности. Возможно, секрет живучести примет и суеверий в том, что нам нравится исполнять все эти небольшие обряды. И даже тот, кто заявляет, что несуеверен, при эт…
В настоящую книгу включены четыре важнейших трактата Аристотеля – великого древнегреческого мыслителя, оказавшего огромное влияние на развитие европейской и мировой культуры, ученого-энциклопедиста, который стоял у истоков современной науки. «Метафизика» – свод из 14 книг, объединенных в I веке до н. э. Андроником Родосским (в чьей редакции он и дошел до наших дней), – основополагающий труд филосо…
Recent expansion in the range and sophistication of techniques in protein science has provided a wealth of new information. This book deals with the latest achievements by the most active researchers in the field of enzyme catalysis. Twenty-eight authors from Japan, the USA and Israel provide first-class information on enzyme structure and function studies. Their ideas for new methodologies will s…
Knud Nierhaus, who has studied the ribosome for more than 30 years, has assembled here the combined efforts of several scientific disciplines into a uniform picture of the largest enzyme complex found in living cells, finally resolving many decades-old questions in molecular biology. In so doing he considers virtually all aspects of ribosome structure and function – from the molecular mechanism of…
Provides synthetic chemists with a method for rapid retrieval of information from the literature, listing material by reaction type rather than by author name or publication date. Each updated volume presents the latest synthetic methods for preparation of monofunctional and difunctional compounds. The organization is logical and easy to follow; sections are arranged according to the possible inte…
Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods, Vols. I & II By Ian T. Harrison & Shuyen Harrison Volume I A complete one-volume compilation of organic functional group transformations. Includes 3000 synthetic methods presented in the form of reactions with leading references. Divided into sections corresponding to all possible interconversions between the major functional groups: acetylene, carboxylic a…
Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods Volume III Louis S. Hegedus & Leroy G. Wade, Jr. Presents the new synthetic methods for preparation of monofunctional compounds for 1974, 1975, and 1976. Sections correspond to most of the possible interconversions between the major functional groups. In addition, the volume contains examples of new methods of preparation of difunctional compounds formed fro…

The indispensable reference for the twenty-first century chemist… A fascinating and comprehensive look into one of chemistry's fastest growing specialties–sesquiterpene synthesis–Volume Ten of The Total Synthesis of Natural Products focuses on acyclic and monocyclic compounds and sheds light on the structure and makeup of this important class of hydrocarbons. A useful and practical tool for resear…
Наш мозг – удивительный орган и единственный известный живой объект во Вселенной, способный задумываться о самом себе. Долгое время его изучение приводило лишь к домыслам и предположениям. Революционные неинвазивные технологии позволили заглянуть внутрь мозга и многое понять о его работе, но и сегодня порой кажется, что вопросов больше, чем ответов. Эта книга подробно рассказывает о том, что мы се…
Одно из наиболее значимых произведений в истории мировой философии! Георг Вильгельм Фридрих Гегель (1770-1831) – всемирно известный мыслитель, один из творцов немецкой классической философии. «Философия духа», будучи самостоятельной работой, является заключительной частью «Энциклопедии философских наук» Гегеля. Это произведение раскрывает учение немецкого философа о человеке, человеческом сознан…

It also features the complete sequence of more than 800 peptides, numerous illustrations and numerous cross-references. Areas covered include: – biological peptides and small proteins – pe…
Perfect for biochemists, synthetic and organic chemists, this book covers all important reactions, including C-C coupling reactions, oxidation reactions and many more. Divided into two parts, the first section on methodology presents new innovative methods for enzymatic catalysis optimization, including such new trends as medium engineering, directed evolution and computer-aided prediction of enan…
The past two decades have seen an explosion in research on the synthesis of sesquiterpenes, an important class of hydrocarbons commonly found in oils, resins, and balsams. Volume Eleven in The Total Synthesis of Natural Products series continues to review this dynamic area of chemistry. It features systematic, A-to-Z coverage of sesquiterpenes synthesized between 1979-1994-a sesquidecade. Focusing…
The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, since its inception, has been recognized as a cornerstone of heterocyclic chemistry. Each volume attempts to discuss all aspects – properties, synthesis, reactions, physiological and industrial significance – of a specific ring system. To keep the series up-to-date, supplementary volumes covering the recent literature on each individual ring system have bee…
