Violence in Developing Countries
Violence in Developing Countries forges an alternative understanding of how violence shapes a globalizing society.
Civil War is Not a Stupid Thing
This book takes issue with two common perspectives on violence and war. The first is the liberal interpretation, according to which war is exclusively negative in its effects and peace is easily achieved through democratisation and free trade. In this view, modern liberal market democracies have outgrown violence, and only resort to it in self-defence. The second is a romantic, utopian view of violence. Transposed into political rhetoric, these two views are often directly opposed, as they are nowadays in Iraq and in the 'War on Terror'. Cramer's book forges an alternative way of understanding the role of violence in the transition to capitalism and a global economy.
Essentials of Computational Chemistry
Essentials of Computational Chemistry provides a balanced introduction to this dynamic subject. Suitable for both experimentalists and theorists, a wide range of samples and applications are included drawn from all key areas. The book carefully leads the reader thorough the necessary equations providing information explanations and reasoning where necessary and firmly placing each equation in context.
Violence in Developing Countries
Offers a surprising and sobering view of war and violence in the developing world
African Economic Development
"This book challenges conventional wisdoms about economic performance and possible policies for economic development in African countries. Its starting point is the striking variation in African economic performance. Unevenness and inequalities form a central fact of African economic experiences. The authors highlight not only differences between countries, but also variations within countries, differences often organized around distinctions of gender, class, and ethnic identity. For example, neo-natal mortality and school dropout have been reduced, particularly for some classes of women in some areas of Africa. Horticultural and agribusiness exports have grown far more rapidly in some count...
Researching Violence in Africa
This book examines the ethical and methodological issues that researchers working in conflict and other insecure environments regularly face. Based on in-depth research carried throughout Africa, the contributors discuss how they adapt to working in volatile and often dangerous fieldsites.

Theoretical Chemistry Accounts
For the New Century Issue of the journal "Theroretical Chemistry Accounts" the advisory editors identified papers from the first century of theoretical chemistry and discussed their importance for the twentieth century with an eye towards the twenty-first century. Sixty-six such perspectives are published in the New Century Issue. To make this unique collection available to younger scientists for entertaining reading and re-reading of the original publications, the publisher decided to reprint a special edition of the issue.
Perspectives on Theoretical Chemistry
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the journal Theoretical Chemistry Accounts, leading researchers in theoretical chemistry present current and forward-looking perspectives on major developments in the field. Originally published in the journal, these outstanding contributions are now available in a hardcover print format. This collection will be of benefit in particular to those research groups and libraries that have chosen to have only electronic access to the journal. With contributions from Christopher J. Cramer, Gino A. DiLabio, Filipp Furche, Sophya Garashchuk, Peter M.W. Gill, Hua Guo, So Hirata, Brian K. Kendrick, Hans Lischka, Wenjian Liu, Fernando R. Ornellas, Irina Paci, Kirk A.
