A History Of Korea
First published in 1996. Always there are hills in the distance, backed by mountains, wreathed in mist, and always the sound of water. These are the things that have inspired the Korea’s poets and artists and haunt the dreams of its exiles. An eastern backbone of sharp mountains has ribs that run westward and from these wooded hills flow the water that trickles through the rice fields. Climatic maps show it to be at the centre of a small area that is almost unique in its combination of cold dry winters and hot rainy summers. Most of its plants and animals are common to the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere but they are tested almost to destruction by seasonal alternations of Siberian cold and summer monsoons. In May the brown desert of winter begins to shimmer in a delicate veil of green which grows into a summer jungle and dies with glory in a long warm autumn of red and gold. About 600 miles in length and 150-200 miles wide, it reaches out from the mainland like an oriental Italy, with China embracing it to the north and west and Japan only 100 miles away to the south and east. This book illuminates the reader about the history of Korea.
Organic Reaction Mechanisms 2019
Organic Reaction Mechanisms 2019, the 55th annual volume in this highly successful and unique series, surveys research on organic reaction mechanisms described in the available literature dated 2019. The following classes of organic reaction mechanisms are comprehensively reviewed: • Reaction of Aldehydes and Ketones and their Derivatives • Reactions of Carboxylic, Phosphoric, and Sulfonic Acids and their Derivatives • Oxidation and Reduction • Carbenes and Nitrenes • Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution • Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution • Carbocations • Nucleophilic Aliphatic Substitution • Carbanions and Electrophilic Aliphatic Substitution • Elimination Reactions • Polar Addition Reactions • Cycloaddition Reactions • Molecular Rearrangements An experienced team of authors compile these reviews every year, so that the reader can rely on a continuing quality of selection and presentation.
Microbial Biotechnology
This book focuses on two key issues confronting humanity, viz., energy and environment. There is a need to devise strategies for protecting the environment, at the same time adequately meeting the ever-growing energy needs of the world. Harnessing the power of microbes is one step towards finding cheap, green and sustainable solutions to the problems of energy and environment. The book is divided into eight major topics. These topics include emerging trends in microbial biotechnology, harnessing sustainable energy sources from microorganisms, mechanistics of bioenergy production, bioenergy from wastes and pollutant removal, microalgae for biofuels, bioremediation technologies for petroleum hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and xenobiotics, bioremediation of nuclear wastes, and the role of extremophilic microorganisms in environmental cleanup.
The Encyclopedia of Confucianism
The Encyclopedia, the first of its kind, introduces Confucianism as a whole, with 1,235 entries giving full information on its history, doctrines, schools, rituals, sacred places and terminology, and on the adaptation, transformation and new thinking taking place in China and other Eastern Asian countries. An indispensable source for further study and research for students and scholars.

Research Into Spinal Deformities 8
Idiopathic scoliosis remains a fascinating and enigmatic disease, and research in the area of spinal deformities involves a broad range of specialties, from etiology to molecular biology and growth regulation. The International Research Society of Spinal Deformities (IRSSD) promotes a multidisciplinary approach to scoliosis and spinal problems, with a strong emphasis on research in the field of etiology, as well as the clinical effectiveness of a wide range of interventions. The society has been active in one form or another for three decades, encouraging open discussion in all areas related to spinal deformities. This book presents the proceedings of the 9th biennial IRSSD meeting, held in ...
Ordered Mesoporous Materials
Mesoporous materials are a class of molecules with a large and uniform pore size, highly regular nanopores, and a large surface area. This book is devoted to all aspects and types of these materials and describes, in an in-depth and systematic manner, the step-by-step synthesis and its mechanism, as well as the characterization, morphology control, hybridization, and applications, of mesoporous molecular sieves. In so doing, it covers silicates, metal-doped silicates, nonsilicates, and organic-inorganic hybrids. Although the emphasis is on synthesis, the expert authors also discuss characterization and applications, ranging from catalysis and biochemistry to optics and the use of these materials as templates for nanomaterial synthesis. Both the fundamentals and the latest research results are covered, ensuring that this monograph serves as a reference for researchers in and newcomers to the field.
Avalon
Avalon introduces a new genre of children's literature - an action-packed adventure fantasy novel that develops personal character. Two children visit a magic land inhabited by friendly creatures. The creatures teach them the secrets of great power. Each day, the children learn a new secret. When they return home, they share their discoveries with their parents and friends. On each trip they learn an important social principle, one new speech sound, and new vocabulary words. By this strategy they learn to read every phonogram in the English language very quickly. After completing Avalon, students sound out practically any English word and pronounce it correctly, even if they have never seen or heard that word before. They learn forty-two principles of personal development. Avalon begins at a first grade reading level and rapidly boosts the reading vocabulary of the readers to a college level. Avalon is ideal for school reading programs, home schooling, and leisure reading pleasure for all ages.
