Progress in Physical Organic Chemistry is dedicated to reviewing the latest investigations into organic chemistry that use quantitative and mathematical methods. These reviews help readers understand the importance of individual discoveries and what they mean to the field as a whole. Moreover, the authors, leading experts in their fields, offer unique and thought-provoking perspectives on the current state of the science and its future directions. With so many new findings published in a broad range of journals, Progress in Physical Organic Chemistry fills the need for a central resource that presents, analyzes, and contextualizes the major advances in the field. The articles published in Pr...
Since Hammett devised the rho-sigma equation in 1937, the application of similarity models through linear free energy relationships (correlation analysis) has become increasingly important for systematising the quantitative data of organic chemistry and related fields. More than twelve years have elapsed since the last appearance of a multi-author, international monograph on this subject, during which time there have been substantial developments. Sophisticated chemometric techniques, such as principal component analysis, have been added to the basic statistical techniques of simple and multiple regression. The interaction with quantum mechanics, particularly in the form of ab initio molecul...
How humanity brought about the climate crisis by departing from its evolutionary trajectory 15,000 years ago—and how we can use evolutionary principles to save ourselves from the worst outcomes. Despite efforts to sustain civilization, humanity faces existential threats from overpopulation, globalized trade and travel, urbanization, and global climate change. In A Darwinian Survival Guide, Daniel Brooks and Salvatore Agosta offer a novel—and hopeful—perspective on how to meet these tremendous challenges by changing the discourse from sustainability to survival. Darwinian evolution, the world’s only theory of survival, is the means by which the biosphere has persisted and renewed itse...
