Organic Synthesis Highlights III
A collection of articles on various topics of organic synthesis -- short, precise and topical, written by leading experts in their fields. Organic synthesis is a core subject in organic chemistry, and volumes I and II have been very successful. The topics reflect modern and up-to-date problems and research areas in organic synthesis. Readers will learn about the key synthetic strategies that are important in their daily work. A large number of references is included for each article, making the primary literature easily accessible. This is a 'must-have' book for any organic chemist, organometallic chemist, natural product chemist or graduate student.
Evolutionary Robotics. From Intelligent Robotics to Artificial Life
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Evolutionary Robotics, ER 2001, held in Tokyo, Japan, in October 2001. The seven revised full papers by the invited speakers Rodney A. Brooks, Dario Floreano, Robert J. Full, Inman Harvey, Owen Holland, Francesco Mondada, and Jordan B. Pollack were carefully selected and revised for presentation in the book. Among the topics addressed are imitation of life and machine consciousness, autonomous vision-based robots, evolved robots, living machines, artificial evolution, bioinspired artificial life locomotion, and mobile robotic systems engineering.
Behavior and Culture in One Dimension
Behavior and Culture in One Dimension adopts a broad interdisciplinary approach, presenting a unified theory of sequences and their functions and an overview of how they underpin the evolution of complexity. Sequences of DNA guide the functioning of the living world, sequences of speech and writing choreograph the intricacies of human culture, and sequences of code oversee the operation of our literate technological civilization. These linear patterns function under their own rules, which have never been fully explored. It is time for them to get their due. This book explores the one-dimensional sequences that orchestrate the structure and behavior of our three-dimensional habitat. Using Gib...
Self-Production of Supramolecular Structures
How did life begin on the Earth? The units of life are cells, which can be defined as bounded systems of molecules that capture energy and nutrients from the environment -- systems that expand, reproduce, and evolve over time, often into more complex systems. This book is the proceedings of a unique meeting, sponsored by NATO and held in Maratea, Italy, that brought together for the first time an international group of investigators who share an interest in how molecules self-assemble into supramolecular structures, and how those structures may have contributed to the origin of life. The book is written at a moderately technical level, appropriate for use by researchers and by students in up...

Poesia cantata 2
Kaum ein europäisches Land kann auf eine so dichte, lebendige und vielseitige Tradition des politisch und sozial relevanten populären Liedes zurückschauen wie Italien. Seit den 70er Jahren bis heute sind die italienischen Liedermacher das Thermometer der Gesellschaft, bilden neue Tendenzen ebenso ab wie alte oder erneuerte Sorgen und Empörungen. In diesem Sammelband entwerfen wir ein Panorama der letzten 30 Jahre. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt den neuesten Tendenzen in Rock und Rap. Auffällig ist der Befund, daß vor allem in den 90er Jahren die zentralen Anliegen der politisch sehr bewegten 70er Jahre wieder aufgegriffen werden: soziale Gerechtigkeit, Humanität gegen Ökonomie usw. Gleichfalls wiederholt sich der nicht aufhebbare Widerspruch, daß engagierte Cantautori mit ihrem Werk Erfolg haben und sich zwangsläufig in einen ökonomischen Markt integrieren - die soziale/politische Botschaft tritt dann zum eigenen kommerziellen Erfolg in Widerspruch.
