Green Organic Chemistry and Its Interdisciplinary Applications covers key developments in green chemistry and demonstrates to students that the developments were most often the result of innovative thinking. Using a set of selected experiments, all of which have been performed in the laboratory with undergraduate students, it demonstrates how to optimize and develop green experiments.The book dedicates each chapter to individual applications, such asEngineeringThe chemical industryThe pharmaceutical industryAnalytical chemistryEnvironmental chemistryEach chapter also poses questions at the end, with the answers included.By focusing on both the interdisciplinary applications of green chemistry and the innovative thinking that has produced new developments in the field, this book manages to present two key messages in a manner where they reinforce each other. It provides a single and concise reference for chemists, instructors, and students for learning about green organic chemistry and its great and ever-expanding number of applications.
The poet Langston Hughes was a tireless world traveler and a prolific translator, editor, and marketer. Translations of his own writings traveled even more widely than he did, earning him adulation throughout Europe, Asia, and especially the Americas. In The Worlds of Langston Hughes, Vera Kutzinski contends that, for writers who are part of the African diaspora, translation is more than just a literary practice: it is a fact of life and a way of thinking. Focusing on Hughes's autobiographies, translations of his poetry, his own translations, and the political lyrics that brought him to the attention of the infamous McCarthy Committee, she shows that translating and being translated—and often mistranslated—are as vital to Hughes's own poetics as they are to understanding the historical network of cultural relations known as literary modernism. As Kutzinski maps the trajectory of Hughes's writings across Europe and the Americas, we see the remarkable extent to which the translations of his poetry were in conversation with the work of other modernist writers. Kutzinski spotlights cities whose role as meeting places for modernists from all over the world has yet to be fully explored: Madrid, Havana, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, and of course Harlem. The result is a fresh look at Hughes, not as a solitary author who wrote in a single language, but as an international figure at the heart of a global intellectual and artistic formation.

How and why has Cuba's national identity been cast in terms of a cross-cultural synthesis called ""mestizaje"", and what roles have race, gender, sexuality and class played in the construction of that synthesis? What specific cultural, political and economic interests does ""mestizaje"" represent? Exploring these and other questions, the author focuses on images of the ""mulata"" in 19th- and 20th-century Cuban poetry, fiction and visual arts. These images, she argues, are at the heart of Cuba's peculiar form of multiculturalism. ""Mestizaje"" and related cross-cultural paradigms that have developed in other parts of the Caribbean, in Hispanic America and Brazil, are controversially tied to nationalist interests and ideologies. But do they really mark the promise of a diverse cross-culture? Or do they constitute a form of ethnic ""lynching""? According to Kutzinski, ""mestizaje"" in Cuba and elsewhere celebrates racial diversity, while at the same time refusing to acknowledge a historical reality of racial conflict. In ""Sugar's Secrets"", she examines traces of this fundamental paradox in Cuban literature and popular culture. The foundation of the author's argument is that Cuban ""mestizaje"" is a distinctly masculine concept. It articulates itself through the female racial stereotype of the ""mulata"", which becomes a symbol for the reconciliation of Spanish and African elements in Cuban culture. Women, especially non-white women, are excluded from this inter-racial vision of cultural and political bonding. Though ""mestizaje"" assumes heterosexual disguises, the unifying fiction it projects is often the product of male homoerotic desire, across racial lines. Kutzinski is interested in how the ""mulata"" has been used by Cuban cultural institutions, as well as by writers of various racial affiliations, either to maintain or expose that fiction. This study focuses on constructions of inter-racial masculinity hidden behind racially mixed femininity; constructions that have had the effect of legitimising male social, economic and political power.
Australian spy Ernest Moneylove aspires to be as suave and sophisticated a solver of crimes as James Bond. Unfortunately the physical and intellectual attributes of Bond. Vera M, Murray presents clever and witty yarns in her anthology which combines adventure and comedy.Vera Murray's gothic horror novel Leap Year Blood Lust was noted for its humor interspersed in the bloody tale. In her first anthology of short stories, Ms Murray turns the formula on its head with these humorous tales featuring romance, mystery and suspense.Most of the stories in this book were inspired by the author's personal experience, or the experiences of others who at various times have crossed the writer's path, with, however, some exceptions. These exceptions include a trip to Mars, arriving at the pearly gates, meeting possible Aliens, winning millions, being a drug squad agent, and, of course, being murdered.
Drug squad agent Ernest Moneylove Idolises the famous film star James Bond to the extent Moneylove wants to be on top of his profession beside 007.To assist him in attaining his ambition Moneylove does everything to enhance his small, somewhat unattractive body, He wants to be robust enough to tackle drug-peddling lawbreakers and obtain the interest of beautiful women.Ernest constantly refers back in his mind to how James Bond would handle any problem he faces but it does not always fit the situation in Ernest's department boss would love to be rid of him and a fellow agent undermines him whenever he can.The humorous versus in this book include coverage of human life in a way that delights readers.Author Vera M Murray continues to mix adventure, humor, and presentations of human foibles in her distinctive witty style.

Empowering patients on treatment options allows the proper understanding of expectations and enables active participation in health care decisions. One component of empowerment is information. Understanding what drugs safety is, promotes better treatment conformity and facilitates the recognition of side effects that may become a serious issue. This book contains information every person that is taking either prescription or over the counter medications should have access to. Drug safety is ultimately the most important goal of the pharmaceutical industry, but what does it means for ordinary people? One of the issues regarding drug safety is that drug information on their safety and efficacy in lay language is scarce and not easy accessible. It is not always easy to understand what drug safety means and how it can affect your life. This book provides patients with a simplified approach to drug safety. Concepts are clearly presented, easy to read and with take away points were incorporated to allow further reference. The topics covered include: - The drug safety concept - Brief his-tory of drug development - The randomized controlled clinical trial and evidence based medicine - Risk/benefit assessment and how the decision is made - Drug effects, benefits - Variability in drug response - Personalized medicine and patient centered care - Drug tolerance - Side effects - Participation in treatment decisions - Quality of life - Compliance to treatment - Drugs with special pharmacology - Pharmacogenomics - Dose, dos-age, and length of treatment - Dosage forms - Off label use - Slow release/timed re-lease/extended release forms. As a continuous improvement process, I update the book once more to give you the most current information on drug safety and health care. I even shortened the title to make it easier to buy. In this revision, I included three concepts of health care and medicine that creates confusion when discussed and presented as a new solution to you. Therefore, I included a detailed review of Patient Centered Medicine vs. Patient Centric Medicine and vs. Personalized Medicine.
