Sexual Identities
Patrick Colm Hogan, a leading theorist of cognitive cultural studies, offers the first cognitive cultural study of identity in sex, sexuality, and gender. With precise conceptual distinctions, wide-ranging citation of empirical research, and careful explication of diverse literary works, Hogan defends a systematic skepticism about gender differences and a view of sexuality as evolved but also contingent and variable.
Nano-Safety
Nanotechnology safety is the practice of handling engineered nanomaterials in production and manufacturing. Good practice consists of understanding and interpreting Material Safety Data Sheets, behaving safely when working with yet unknown nanomaterials, understanding health effects, and proactively creating safety measures against potential hazards. This book addresses nanotechnology risk management.
Deceptive Fictions
Deceptive Fictions: Narrating Trauma and Violence in Contemporary Writing explores the widespread narrative concern with trauma and violence, and their interactions with identity, meaning, ethics, history, memory and various other related issues in a selection of novels by prolific contemporary British and Irish writers. Interrogating the strategic functions of trauma and violence, the book argues that these texts can be read as counter-narratives to, or a backlash against, still-prevalent critical paradigms informed by poststructuralist and postmodern thought. Trauma and violence are invoked as narrative tools to communicate the centrality of the body and of biological and material constraints on human actions. This emphasis on reality and the experiential ties in with the novels’ consistent focus on the individual as an ethical agent and originator of meaning. In so doing, they signal a move in contemporary fiction towards a textual practice that can most fruitfully be approached along the lines of an individualistic, evolutionary, corporeal and experiential narratology, which self-consciously reflects on the manipulative potentials of narrative.
Immunogenomics and Human Disease
This book provides an overview of key conceptual and molecular technologies being deployed in immunogenomics, followed by detailed evaluations of the impact of genomics and systems biology on important areas such as cancer immunology, autoimmunity, allergy and the response to infection.
A Biocultural Approach to Literary Theory and Interpretation
Combining cognitive and evolutionary research with traditional humanist methods, Nancy Easterlin demonstrates how a biocultural perspective in theory and criticism opens up new possibilities for literary interpretation. Easterlin maintains that the practice of literary interpretation is still of central intellectual and social value. Taking an open yet judicious approach, she argues, however, that literary interpretation stands to gain dramatically from a fair-minded and creative application of cognitive and evolutionary research. This work does just that, expounding a biocultural method that charts a middle course between overly reductive approaches to literature and traditionalists who see...
NMR Multiplet Interpretation
NMR Multiplet Interpretation: An Infographic Walk-Through focuses on complex first-order 1H multiplet interpretation that the synthetic organic chemist should expect to tackle. The 2nd edition also expands upon the interpretation of (1H and 19F) multiplets and ties the shape of multiplets to the structural features of hypothetical chemical compounds. The book provides thoroughly-visualized illustrations, embracing an elegant and intuitive methodology from the scientific literature. Moreover, it identifies core mnemonic rules and diagrams that help the reader quickly internalize key concepts. It includes progressively-challenging problems—from simple, intermediate, advanced, to expert—and...
Hyper-Structured Molecules II
Hyper-structured molecules are topologically well-defined molecules in two or three dimensions and are expected to show novel quantum effects in the molecules themselves or in molecular sequences. This book, covering the supramolecular chemistry and characterisation of hyper-structured molecules, provides an invaluable resource on the design and synthesis of topologically controlled molecules such as dendritic polymers, and on ways to handle them using techniques such as photon scanning tunnelling microscopy. The book presents a comprehensive discussion of the real application of hyper-structured molecules to organic quantum devices for molecular electronics, photonics and spinics and should be of interest to all researchers working in supramolecular chemistry and molecular electronics.
Specialty Polymers
The synthetic counterparts of natural polymeric materials are now finding applications as light weight, mechanically strong, and environmentally stable sheets, fibers, films, adhesives, paints, and foams have replaced most of the commodity and structural materials. The systematic research on the preparation, characterization, and utilization of plastics resulted in creation of polymers often containing a set of several desirable properties in a single polymer. The polymers have established their place in engineering applications as well. Although the bulk of plastics production focuses on relatively simple commodity polymers, the proportion of specially designed and tailor-made plastics for ...
Translation and the Classic
Through a range of accessible and innovative chapters dealing with a spectrum of genres, authors, and periods, this volume seeks to examine the complex relationship between translation and the classic, and how translation makes and remakes (and sometimes invents) classic works for new audiences across space and time. Translation and the Classic is the first volume in a two-volume series examining how classic works fare in translation, how translation is different when it engages with classic texts, and how classic texts can be shaped, understood in new ways, or even created through the process of translation. Although other collections have covered some of this territory, they have done so i...
