Norman's Organic Synthesis, Fourth Edition

Norman's Organic Synthesis, Fourth Edition

Mark C. Bagley; James M. Coxon; John F.C. Turner

Productivity Press
2023
nidottu
From the spectroscopy of molecules to energy changes, chemical principles underlie all that we see and do. Yet organic synthesis seems to stand apart, as a hugely creative and artistic pursuit of a structural target from a seemingly infinite palette of chemical transformations. This book assumes an eagerness to learn and aims simply to nurture a synoptic approach to the mastery of the subject. The distinction between novice and virtuoso has the understanding of key chemical principles at its heart - the ability to connect them to experimental observations and an elegant model of mechanism, as well as having the confidence to blend those wonderful colours to make a masterpiece.

America's Disaster Culture

America's Disaster Culture

Robert C. Bell; Robert M. Ficociello

Bloomsbury Academic USA
2019
nidottu
Are we inside the era of disasters or are we merely inundated by mediated accounts of events categorized as catastrophic? America's Disaster Culture offers answers to this question and a critical theory surrounding the culture of “natural” disasters in American consumerism, literature, media, film, and popular culture. In a hyper-mediated global culture, disaster events reach us with great speed and minute detail, and Americans begin forming, interpreting, and historicizing catastrophes simultaneously with fellow citizens and people worldwide. America's Disaster Culture is not policy, management, or relief oriented. It offers an analytical framework for the cultural production and representation of disasters, catastrophes, and apocalypses in American culture. It focuses on filling a need for critical analysis centered upon the omnipresence of real and imagined disasters, epidemics, and apocalypses in American culture. However, it also observes events, such as the Dust Bowl, Hurricane Katrina, and 9/11, that are re-framed and re-historicized as “natural” disasters by contemporary media and pop culture. Therefore, America's Disaster Culture theorizes the very parameters of classifying any event as a “natural” disaster, addresses the biases involved in a catastrophic event’s public narrative, and analyzes American culture's consumption of a disastrous event. Looking toward the future, what are the hypothetical and actual threats to disaster culture? Or, are we oblivious that we are currently living in a post-apocalyptic landscape?

Civilization is in decay. And something is stirring to take its place. Walking the abandoned halls of the Tavistock Galleria, it's almost impossible to recognize that it was once the most luxurious retail center for hundreds of miles. Marble floors have been cracked and smeared, and long-dry fountains stand as though monuments for the dead. Yet there's still life inside these broken walls. Locals tell of the rituals that happen at night, or speak of what's hidden inside the gear box of the old carousel. Of the creature that lurks in the store room behind Hot Topic, and how the canned echo of music still plays though the power has long since been cut. The doors were once locked at night to keep people out, but now they're locked to keep something in.Fully illustrated edition.TAVISTOCK GALLERIA is a collection of short horror stories by multiple authors, all interrelated around the mysterious incidents at the Galleria. Every story is accompanied by an original, full page illustration to bring the stories to life.

My name is Michael Angelo, Angel to those who know me. I was born in the greatest city in the world, Chicago. My Ma, Maria Angelo, never knew exactly my date of birth or even the year. She worked in down town Chicago as a prostitute until she copped Syphilis. There was no father and at 9 years old I became the major breadwinner. I was good at what I did to earn money but conning uptown people out of a few cents and stealing food off stalls didn't amount to much. It did bring me to the attention of the club owner, Alfredo Tarrantinni. I might still be alive if I had stayed away from the club, but then I wouldn't have met Clemmie. Chicago was fun, and as a small boy I took the fear factor in my stride. When I grew up it became more deadly and Tony, my nemesis, was always looking to finish what he had started. He wanted me dead.Just when I had got to that point where life was on a roll; I had the job, the respect, the money and the girl, in a split second it was all gone. The Guardians made me an Angel. Me, an Angel? I would have laughed but it wasn't funny. They said I had to help Clemmie. Now I would do anything for Clemmie but what they asked me to do was tough. I argued and fought them at every point along the way. They kept the truth from me but I found out the hard way. Tony was close by and now I hunted him and wanted him dead and burning in hell. I wanted to keep Clemmie safe and with me, they wanted something else. Someone had to be the winner.

Shaping Ireland’s Independence

Shaping Ireland’s Independence

M. C. Rast

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2019
sidottu
This book explores the political and ideological developments that resulted in the establishment of two separate states on the island of Ireland: the Irish Free State and Northern Ireland. It examines how this radical transformation took place, including how British Liberals and Unionists were as influential in the “two-state solution” as any Irish party. The book analyzes transformative events including the third home rule crisis, partition and the creation of Northern Ireland, and the Irish Free State’s establishment through the Anglo-Irish Treaty. The policies and priorities of major figures such as H.H. Asquith, David Lloyd George, John Redmond, Eamon de Valera, Edward Carson, and James Craig receive prominent attention, as do lesser-known events and organizations like the Irish Convention and Irish Dominion League. The work outlines many possible solutions to Britain’s “Irish question,” and discusses why some settlement ideas were adopted and others discarded. Analyzing publicdiscourse and archival sources, this monograph offers new perspectives on the Irish Revolution, highlighting in particular the tension between public rhetoric and private opinion.
