This book considers how molecules react and how the feasibility and outcome of chemical reactions can be understood and predicted. The activity series of metals is used as a gateway into a discussion of why some reactions occur and others do not. Chemical thermodynamics is then introduced and applied to both inorganic and organic reactions. The principles introduced are applied to the chemistry of main group metallic elements (sodium, potassium, magnesium, aluminum), including industrial uses and biological function. An interactive CD-ROM accompanies the book. This book is part of The Molecular World series which aims to provide a broad foundation in chemistry.
This book covers the chemistry of the non-metallic elements (the halogens, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, silicon, phosphorus and sulfur) and uses their role in agriculture (for example, nitrogen and sulfur), industry (for example, sulfuric acid), and everyday life (for example, the chlorination of drinking water) to illustrate this chemistry. Their role in organic chemistry and biochemistry is also emphasized. Two interactive CD-ROMs accompany the book, incorporating electronic questions that facilitate revision/consolidation. This book is part of The Molecular World series which aims to provide a broad foundation in chemistry.

A philosophical look at the movie Inception and its brilliant metaphysical puzzles Is the top still spinning? Was it all a dream? In the world of Christopher Nolan's four-time Academy Award-winning movie, people can share one another's dreams and alter their beliefs and thoughts. Inception is a metaphysical heist film that raises more questions than it answers: Can we know what is real? Can you be held morally responsible for what you do in dreams? What is the nature of dreams, and what do they tell us about the boundaries of "self" and "other"? From Plato to Aristotle and from Descartes to Hume, Inception and Philosophy draws from important philosophical minds to shed new light on the movie...
Vol. for 1958 includes also the Minutes of the final General Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church of North America and the minutes of the final General Assembly of the Presbyteruan Church in the U.S.A.
The U.S. Army entered World War II unprepared. In addition, lacking Germany's blitzkrieg approach of coordinated armor and air power, the army was organized to fight two wars: one on the ground and one in the air. Previous commentators have blamed Congressional funding and public apathy for the army's unprepared state. David E. Johnson believes instead that the principal causes were internal: army culture and bureaucracy, and their combined impact on the development of weapons and doctrine. Johnson examines the U.S. Army's innovations for both armor and aviation between the world wars, arguing that the tank became a captive of the conservative infantry and cavalry branches, while the airplan...
