Wagner in Rehearsal, 1875-1876
For Richard Wagner, the summer months of 1875 and 1876 were among the most critical of his life: the months of organization and rehearsals for the first presentation of his Ring cycle of operas. Several Wagner biographers make reference to his close friend and associate, the ballet master Richard Fricke, as the one who solved the problems and provided the coolness and common sense required for dealing with artistic emergencies. Fricke's diaries of this period were printed posthumously in 1906 as Bayreuth vor dreissig Jahren, and were considered of sufficient interest and importance to warrant reprinting in 1983 as Richard Wagner auf der Probe. Translated by George Fricke, the great-grandson of Richard Fricke, Wagner in Rehearsal 1875-1876 represent an invaluable and unique source of information about the composer's preparations for the Ring premiere. It also provides interesting insights into Wagner's concepts of dance, gesture and the body in general. With contributions by Liszt scholar James Deaville (historical introduction, annotations, bibliography, index), this work also sheds sheds significant light upon the world of Franz Liszt.

Catalysis by Microporous Materials
ZEOCAT '95 is the eleventh in the series of symposia devoted to special fields of zeolite chemistry. Six plenary lectures, forty oral and forty-two poster presentations were included in the program. The accepted papers cover every aspect of catalysis on microporous materials. A significant number of the contributions describe the synthesis, modification, instrumental and chemical characterisation of zeolites and other micro- and mesoporous materials. Catalytic reactions involve hydrocarbon cracking, nucleophilic aromatic substitution, methanol to hydrocarbon conversion, hydration of acetylene, various alkylation reactions, redox transformations, Claisen rearrangement, etc.
Progress in Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 50
This series provides inorganic chemists and materials scientists with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline. Volume 50 continues to report recent advances with a significant, up-to-date selection of contributions on topics such as the following: Structural and mechanistic investigations in asymmetric copper; Catalyzed reactions; Phenoxyl radical complexes; Synthesis of large pore zeolites and molecular sieves; Inorganic nanoclusters with fullerene-like structure and nanotubes
The Annotated Old Four Legs
When the famous South African fish scientist Professor JLB Smith published Old Fourlegs – The Story of the Coelacanth in 1956 he created an international sensation. After all, this 400-million-year-old fish, known only from fossil remains, was thought to have become extinct around 66 million years ago! JLB Smith’s dramatic account of the discovery of the first and second coelacanths in 1938 and 1952 turned him into a cult figure and put South African science on the world map. His book was eventually published in six English editions and translated into nine foreign languages. Mike Bruton’s The Annotated Old Fourlegs includes a facsimile reprint of the original book, to which he has added notes and images in the margins that provide an interesting and revealing commentary on Smith’s text, as well as new introductory and explanatory chapters that bring the coelacanth story up to date.
