One of the great challenges of the 21st century is that of
sustainability. This book aims to provide examples of
sustainability in a wide variety of chemical contexts, in hope of
laying the groundwork for cross-divisional work that might be
possible in the future to address the important issue of
sustainability. In doing so, the editors look at both the questions
chemistry is asking right now related to sustainability as well as
the questions chemistry SHOULD be asking about sustainability. The
world is facing interrelated global challenges of energy, food,
water, and human health. Solving these daunting challenges will
require global systems thinking and proactive local action. No ONE
company, academic institution, non-profit or government agency can
accomplish this task alone, but it starts with education at all
levels. This book addresses the need for better chemical education
on the subject of sustainability.

Developed for the new International A Level specification, these
new resources are specifically designed for international students,
with a strong focus on progression, recognition and transferable
skills, allowing learning in a local context to a global standard.
Recognised by universities worldwide and fully comparable to UK
reformed GCE A levels. Supports a modular approach, in line with
the specification. Appropriate international content puts learning
in a real-world context, to a global standard, making it engaging
and relevant for all learners. Reviewed by a language specialist to
ensure materials are written in a clear and accessible style. The
embedded transferable skills, needed for progression to higher
education and employment, are signposted so students understand
what skills they are developing and therefore go on to use these
skills more effectively in the future. Exam practice provides
opportunities to assess understanding and progress, so students can
make the best progress they can.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

High-level commentary on various facets of the pharmaceutical
industry from a key leader in the field This book clearly explains
the value that the pharmaceutical industry offers to society which
is often underreported against the more negative topic of high drug
prices. It also offers an overview for drug discovery and
development professionals, highlighting the challenges that such
drug hunters should be aware of when developing new drugs. Case
studies to illustrate topics like hepatitis C, mRNA vaccines,
insulin, and price controls are included to aid in seamless reader
comprehension. Written by John LaMattina, former president of
Pfizer Global Research and Development and well-known speaker and
writer for the pharma industry, sample topics covered and questions
explored within the work include: Fiscal consequences of curing
hepatitis C mRNA vaccines and the race for a cure Why the
government does not deserve a piece of Biopharma's profits Paying
for drugs whose ultimate value is unknown The impact of reduced
revenues on R&D This book is a must-read for biopharmaceutical
professionals and executives who wish to gain high-level insight
into key challenges that must be first understood, then overcome,
within the pharmaceutical industry.

Renewable Carbon: Science, Technology and Sustainability identifies
production pathways and technologies for the production of
chemicals and presents relevant information to bridge the gap
between reaction engineering and process design. The book uses a
multidisciplinary approach, focusing on important aspects of basic
science, technological advantages (and hurdles), and key
sustainability aspects. It incorporates organic, inorganic and
biochemical synthesis and analyzes the myriad of technologies
available, including nanotechnology, biotechnology and
thermochemistry. Sections cover the synthesis of carbon derivatives
through multiple pathways (Science), technologies available for its
generation (Technology), and assess sustainability and new supply
chains (Sustainability). This book will serve as a valuable
reference for academics, research scientists and industry
practitioners in green chemistry, chemical engineering, materials
science and environmental engineering.
