CNT in the Spanish Revolution Volume 1
The CNT in the Spanish Revolution is the history of one of the most original and audacious, and arguably also the most far-reaching, of all the twentieth-century revolutions. It is the history of the giddy years of political change and hope in 1930s Spain, when the so-called ‘Generation of ’36’, Peirats’ own generation, rose up against the oppressive structures of Spanish society. It is also a history of a revolution that failed, crushed in the jaws of its enemies on both the reformist left and the reactionary right. José Peirats’ account is effectively the official CNT history of the war, passionate, partisan but, above all, intelligent. Its huge sweeping canvas covers all areas of the anarchist experience—the spontaneous militias, the revolutionary collectives, the moral dilemmas occasioned by the clash of revolutionary ideals and the stark reality of the war effort against Franco and his German Nazi and Italian Fascist allies. This new edition is carefully indexed in a way that converts the work into a usable tool for historians and makes it much easier for the general reader to dip in with greater purpose and pleasure.
Fundamentals of Molecular Similarity
In recent years the fundamental concepts and applied methodologies of molecular similarity analysis have experienced a revolutionary development. Motivated by the increased degree of understanding of elementary molecular properties on the levels ranging from fundamental quantum chemistry to the complex interactions of biomolecules, and aided by the spectacular progress in computer technology and access to computer power, the area has opened up to many new ideas and new approaches. This book covers topics in quantum similarity approaches, electron density shape analysis methods, and it provides better theoretical understanding of molecular similarity. Additionally, quantitative shape analysis...

The Genealogy of a Gene
The history of the CCR5 gene as a lens through which to view such issues as intellectual property, Big Pharma, personalized medicine, and race and genomics. In The Genealogy of a Gene, Myles Jackson uses the story of the CCR5 gene to investigate the interrelationships among science, technology, and society. Mapping the varied “genealogy” of CCR5—intellectual property, natural selection, Big and Small Pharma, human diversity studies, personalized medicine, ancestry studies, and race and genomics—Jackson links a myriad of diverse topics. The history of CCR5 from the 1990s to the present offers a vivid illustration of how intellectual property law has changed the conduct and content of ...
A la recerca d ́una sortida
"A la recerca d'una sortida" és el testimoni vital i alhora un excel·lent llibre d'autoajuda d'un ésser humà, Ramon Gironés, que des de la infància encara la paulatina i progressiva pèrdua de visió que l'obliga a deixar la seva professió de forner, a la qual s'ha dedicat en cos i ànima, quan arriba a la cinquantena. L'autor no dóna puntada sense fil i ofereix apunts biogràfics, que es llegeixen gairebé com un conte, per pintar el calvari i la resposta enèrgica a la pèrdua constant de la vista. Al lector no li costarà "veure" que l'estratègia per tirar endavant en una edat en la qual s'han rendit no pocs, està estretament lligada amb una de les seves altres passions: la lluita grecoromana de la qual va ser subcampió i campió d'Espanya. La competició li va donar totes les eines necessàries per llaurar-se un futur satisfactori quan altres només veuen foscor. El llibre conclou amb un cant apoteòsic a la vida, a l'amor, a la passió i a la felicitat. I com no, a la victòria davant del destí.
Spaniards and Nazi Germany
Only the indecisiveness of Spanish dictator Franco and diplomatic mistakes by the Nazis, argues Bowed (history, Ouachita Baptist U., Arkadelphia, Arkansas) prevented the Nazi supporters in the Spanish fascist party from bringing Spain into World War II on the side of the Axis. Still, he points out, Spaniards helped Germany by serving in its armies, working in its factories, and promoting its ideas to other nations. The study began as a doctoral dissertation for Northwestern University. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
En busca de una salida
"En busca de una salida" es el testimonio vital y a la vez un excelente libro de autoayuda de un ser humano, Ramon Gironés, que desde la infancia encara la paulatina y progresiva pérdida de visión que le obliga a dejar su profesión de panadero, a la que se ha dedicado en cuerpo y alma, cuando llega a la cincuentena. El autor no da puntada sin hilo y ofrece apuntes biográficos, que se leen casi como un cuento, para pintar el calvario y la respuesta enérgica a la constante pérdida de la vista. Al lector no le costará "ver" que la estrategia para salir adelante en una edad en la que no pocos se han rendido, está estrechamente ligada con una de sus otras pasiones: la lucha grecorromana de la que fue subcampeón y campeón de España. La competición le dio todas las herramientas necesarias para labrarse un futuro satisfactorio cuando otros solo ven oscuridad. El libro concluye con un apoteósico canto a la vida, al amor, a la pasión y a la felicidad. Y como no, a la victoria frente al destino.
