Mapping Leisure
This volume addresses the rich and varied thoughts, concepts, approaches and leisure practices in sixteen countries of three continents---Australia, Asia and Africa. The chapters showcase the diversity in the forms and ways in which the idea and practice of leisure have developed across space and time. However, the common thread through the chapters is that concepts and practices of leisure are found all over the world, from pre-historic settlements to the present-day consumer societies. Seemingly, being at leisure is a capacity of the human species present at birth and which develops in a variety of individual and societal contexts. Even in situations where leisure gets little official recognition as being an aspect of life---such as under colonial rule or in extremely work-centric societies---it needs to be contextually understood. This is a welcome addition to the literature on leisure studies from a global and comparative perspective.
Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis
From the beginning of chemistry as an exact (natural) science - almost 200 years ago - there was a more or less distinct differentiation between its various branches such as organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, or biochemistry. With the increasing insight into the connections and governing laws it soon became obvious, however, that such a clear separation could be regarded as more or less obsolete; within almost any field of chemical research one has to deal with most of the branches mentioned. Especially organic and inorganic chemistry are significant examples for this statement, overlapping considerably within the important field of organome tallic chemistry. This regime of chemistry ...
New Frontiers in Asymmetric Catalysis
A compilation of recent advances and applications in asymmetric catalysis The field of asymmetric catalysis has grown rapidly and plays a key role in drug discovery and pharmaceuticals. New Frontiers in Asymmetric Catalysis gives readers a fundamental understanding of the concepts and applications of asymmetric catalysis reactions and discusses the latest developments and findings. With contributions from preeminent scientists in their respective fields, it covers: * "Rational" ligand design, which is critically dependent on the reaction type (reduction, oxidation, and C-C bond formation) * Recent findings on activation of C-H bonds, C-C bonds, and small molecules (C=O, HCN, RN=C, and CO2) a...
Handbook of Chiral Chemicals
As pharmaceutical companies look to develop single enantiomers as drug candidates, chemists are increasingly faced with the problems associated with this subclass of organic synthesis. "The Handbook of Chiral Chemicals, Second Edition" highlights the problems associated with the production of chiral compounds on a commercial scale. The handbook fir
Advances in Organic Synthesis
"The volume focuses on recent advances in organofluorine chemistry directed towards selective fluorine introduction into various target molecules, employing both traditional and contemporary, electrophilic and nucleophilic, fluorinating agents. It brings t"
African Agency and European Colonialism
This work provides insights into important moments in the European colonization project in Africa, and into structural intersections between the active agents of colonialism and the different layers of Africa's socio-political structures. It reveals the indispensability of the African peoples, their pre-colonial establishments, and knowledge of the colonial encounter. The book also clarifies the significant impact that African people's choices, chances, mistakes, and internal politics had in structuring their colonial experience and European dominance. Colonized Africans and colonizing Europeans had to negotiate the nature of their relationship: the grid, nexus, and hierarchy of colonial power and authority were constantly under construction, deconstruction, and reconstruction. African Agency and European Colonialism expounds upon these beclouded features of Africa's engagement of colonialism. It is appropriate for students, scholars, political analysts, sociologists, and other professionals interested in the social and political history of Africa. Book jacket.
Handbook Of Chiral Chemicals
Describes the problems associated with large, commercial-scale syntheses of chiral molecules and the relatively small number of reactions that can be used to achieve these syntheses. The book discusses commercially viable and still-developing methods of compound manufacture, and reviews the best-selling chiral compounds as of 1996.
Civil and Environmental Engineering for Resilient, Smart and Sustainable Solutions

Keywords: Earthquakes, Damage Localization, Global Warming, Machine Learning, Seismic Assessment, Reinforced Concrete, Fire Behavior, Shape Memory Alloys, Green Sustainable Concrete, Geotechnical Parameters, Cement Paste, Plasticity Index, Urban Environment, Underground Pipeline, Soil Stabilization, Groundwater Monitoring, Solar Photovoltaic Systems, Climate Change, Pollution Monitoring, Cost Estimation Model.
Dendrimer Catalysis
This book provides a comprehensive summary and critical overview of a topic in organometallic chemistry. Research in this rapidly developing transdisciplinary field is having profound influence on other areas of scientific investigation, ranging from catalytic organic synthesis to biology, medicine and material science. The book is complemented by a review of metallodendritic exoreptors for the redox recognition of oxo-anions and halides.
