After the overwhelming success of Asymmetric Synthesis - The Essentials, displaying a broad range of organic asymmetric syntheses, this is the second edition with latest subjects and authors. While the aim of the first edition was mainly to honor the achievements of the pioneers in asymmetric syntheses, the aim of this new edition was bringing the current developments, especially from younger colleagues, to the attention of students. The format of the book remained unchanged, i.e. short conceptual overviews by young leaders in their field including a short biography of the authors. The growing multidisciplinary research within chemistry is reflected in the selection of topics including metal catalysis, organocatalysis, physical organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and its applications in total synthesis, materials research and industry. The prospective reader of this book is a graduate or undergraduate student of advanced organic chemistry as well as the industrial chemist who wants to get a brief update on the current developments in the field.
She couldn't leave, he wouldn't stay For two blissful months, Marilee Dupont had been in love. So maybe she should have asked a few more questions, she admits. Maybe they shouldn't have moved so fast. Maybe Trent Williams would have realized how much the ranch — and her professorship at the university — meant to her. Maybe. And maybe she would have realized he really didn't plan to stay. That as soon as his teenaged daughter graduated from high school in a year, he was going back to Boise — with or without her. Maybe. And then things got really difficult. This is book 3 in the series, Second Chance Romances about four smart, competent women who know their own minds. Women who aren't afraid to take some risks — in life, work and love — because they know they have each other's backs. Come for the slow-burn contemporary romance. Stay for the HEA — if love can manage to find it for two people this stubborn! (Be prepared for language, triggers, and politics.)

A leading theorist on literature and media reveals a new and productive aspect of Benjamin’s thought by focusing on the critical suffix “-ability” that Benjamin so tellingly deploys in his work. The result is an illuminating perspective on Benjamin’s thought by way of his language.
Readers once believed in Proust’s madeleine and in Wordsworth’s recollections of his boyhood—but that was before literary culture began to defer to Freud’s questioning of adult memories of childhood. In this first sustained look at childhood memories as depicted in literature, Lorna Martens reveals how much we may have lost by turning our attention the other way. Her work opens a new perspective on early recollection—how it works, why it is valuable, and how shifts in our understanding are reflected in both scientific and literary writings. Science plays an important role in The Promise of Memory, which is squarely situated at the intersection of literature and psychology. Psycholo...
"As the Federal census schedules of the state of Virginia for 1790 are missing, the lists of the state enumerations made in 1782, 1783, 1784, and 1785, while not complete, have been substituted."--Page 4
The concept of “time-image,” this book argues, holds broad potential for the historical interpretation of cultural and aesthetic works. Many works that would not ordinarily be thought to be historical artifacts reveal their intrinsic historical character in light of this innovative interpretative concept. The book’s first section,“Time-Images as Theory and Historiography,” considers alternative temporalities underlying historicizing theories and specific practices of history. Examples treated here include the notion of “retro-avantgardism,” works by the Frankfurt School on the interrelations of images and history, and Mass Observation’s dream documentation project. The second...
