Описание: This series provides an unequalled source of information on an area of chemistry that continues to grow in importance. Divided into sections mainly according to the particular spectroscopic technique used, coverage in each volume includes: NMR (with reference to stereochemistry, dynamic systems, paramagnetic complexes, solid state NMR and Groups 13-18); nuclear quadrupole resonance spectroscopy; vibrational spectroscopy of main group and transition element compounds and coordinated ligands; and electron diffraction. Reflecting the growing volume of published work in the field, researchers will find this an invaluable source of information on current methods and applications.
The Frankenstein of the Apple Crate builds on a true archival discovery to imagine how the young Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin found the idea of Frankenstein. Since her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, died shortly after she was born, the heroine grows up in a house haunted by loss. She and her father try to keep the mother's memory alive by talking about her famous exploits and revolutionary ideas, but as time passes Mary's fears overwhelm her. During one terrible night, she finds a wonderful book in her mom's papers and dreams of entering the fantasy. Set in faraway Syracuse, it tells of a kindly inventor named Frank nste n whose music-making robot sweeps people off their feet with melancholy melodies. Years later, that story comes back to mind during a story-telling competition. With the help of a ghost called Mother, Mary retells Frank nste n's story in a gothic vein, making the sweet machine into a murderous thug... and a legend is born.

Rousseau and Dignity: Art Serving Humanity is a richly illustrated volume relating a series of events—a photography exhibit, lectures, commentary, and audience reactions by people ages seven to ninety-two—held in the name of Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s tercentennial in 2012. Drawn together by the unexpected convergence of a lecture series and art exhibit held in South Bend, Indiana, and a documentary film that was shot simultaneously in Compi?gne, France, the participants had several goals: to show why Rousseau’s moral philosophy is important for our time; to argue for the importance of subjective art forms such as photography, video letters, and autobiography; to reproduce the stunning photojournalism commissioned by Amnesty International to document and dignify people who suffer human rights abuses, such as substandard housing, nationless-ness, and ethnic prejudice; and to inspire new kinds of intergenerational teaching. The book includes essays from world-renowned scholars on Jean-Jacques Rousseau; five chapters by photojournalists, which include fifty-four photographs from Egypt, India, Macedonia, Mexico, and Nigeria; and notes by youthful visitors to the exhibit. In the volume’s unorthodox combination of art and text, creation and reflection, the authors hope to elicit readers’ interest in, and commitment to, an engaged form of public humanities.
