Asymmetric Synthesis V1
Asymmetric Synthesis, Volume 1: Analytical Methods covers the major analytical methods used to determine enantiomeric ratios. This volume contains chapters that discuss the methods used to obtain chiral compounds and shows how to evaluate the chiral efficiency of an asymmetric synthesis. Analytical methods such as polarimetry, competitive reaction methods, isotope dilution, gas and liquid chromatography, and nuclear magnetic resonance methods are also discussed. Chemists and researchers in the field of pharmaceutical will find the book very useful.

Chemistry of Plant Natural Products
Aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students and researchers working with natural products, Professors Sunil and Bani Talapatra provide a highly accessible compilation describing all aspects of plant natural products. Beginning with a general introduction to set the context, the authors then go on to carefully detail nomenclature, occurrence, isolation, detection, structure elucidation (by both degradation and spectroscopic techniques) stereochemistry, conformation, synthesis, biosynthesis, biological activity and commercial applications of the most important natural products of plant origin. Each chapter also includes detailed references (with titles) and a list of recommended books for additional study making this outstanding treatise a useful resource for teachers of chemistry and researchers working in universities, research institutes and industry.

War and Disease
Malaria is one of the leading killers in the world today. Though drugs against malaria have a long history, attempts to develop novel therapeutics spanned the twentieth century and continue today. In this historical study, Leo B. Slater shows the roots and branches of an enormous drug development project during World War II. Fighting around the globe, American soldiers were at high risk for contracting malaria, yet quinine–a natural cure–became harder to acquire. A U.S. government-funded antimalarial program, initiated by the National Research Council, brought together diverse laboratories and specialists to provide the best drugs to the nation's military. This wartime research would deliver chloroquinine–long the drug of choice for prevention and treatment of malaria–and a host of other chemotherapeutic insights. A massive undertaking, the antimalarial program was to biomedical research what the Manhattan Project was to the physical sciences. A volume in the Critical Issues in Health and Medicine series, edited by Rima D. Apple and Janet Golden.
