Microscale Organic Chemistry: With Multistep and Multiscale
Syntheses offers a modern approach to the laboratory experience
within the organic division. Notable features include
inquiry-driven experimentation, validation of the purification
process, and the implementation of greener processes (including
microwave use) to perform traditional experimentation. In addition
to offering alternative methods to perform microscale experiments,
this text offers strong pedagogy to promote student success through
empowerment and encouragement.
This text is an unbound, binder-ready edition.This is a laboratory
text for the mainstream organic chemistry course taught at both two
and four year schools, featuring both microscale experiments and
options for scaling up appropriate experiments for use in the
macroscale lab. It provides complete coverage of organic laboratory
experiments and techniques with a strong emphasis on modern
laboratory instrumentation, a sharp focus on safety in the lab,
thorough Discussion sections which provide chemical context for
each experiment, and multi-step experiments. Notable enhancements
to the 6th edition include a greater focus on the implementation of
greener processes (including microwave use) to perform traditional
experimentation, and movement of material to the text web site, to
further streamline the text.
This transdisciplinary and theoretically innovative edited volume
contains seven original, research-led chapters that explore complex
intersections of ritual and democracy in a wide range of
contemporary, cultural and geographic contexts. The volume emerged
out of a workshop held at the Open University in London, organized
as part of the international research project, 'Reassembling
Democracy: Ritual as Cultural Resource' (REDO) funded by the
Norwegian Research Council and led by Jone Salomonsen. The chapters
document entanglements of the religious and the secular in
political assembly and iconoclastic protest, of affect and
belonging in pilgrimage and church ritual and politics and identity
in performances of self and culture. Across the essays emerges a
conception of ritual less as scripts for generating stability than
as improvisational spaces and as catalysts for change.

For the Wild explores the ways in which the commitments of radical
environmental and animal-rights activists develop through powerful
experiences with the more-than-human world during childhood and
young adulthood. The book addresses the question of how and why
activists come to value nonhuman animals and the natural world as
worthy of protection. Emotions and memories of wonder, love,
compassion, anger, and grief shape activists' protest practices and
help us understand their deep-rooted commitments to the planet and
its creatures. Drawing on analyses of activist art, music, and
writings, as well as interviews and participant-observation in
activist communities, Sarah M. Pike delves into the sacred duties
of these often misunderstood and marginalized groups with openness
and sensitivity.
From Shirley MacLaine's spiritual biography "Out on a Limb" to
the teenage witches in the film "The Craft, " New Age and Neopagan
beliefs have made sensationalistic headlines. In the mid- to late
1990s, several important scholarly studies of the New Age and
Neopagan movements were published, attesting to academic as well as
popular recognition that these religions are a significant presence
on the contemporary North American religious landscape. Self-help
books by New Age channelers and psychics are a large and growing
market; annual spending on channeling, self-help businesses, and
alternative health care is at $10 to $14 billion; an estimated 12
million Americans are involved with New Age activities; and
American Neopagans are estimated at around 200,000. "New Age and
Neopagan Religions in America" introduces the beliefs and practices
behind the public faces of these controversial movements, which
have been growing steadily in late twentieth- and early
twenty-first-century America.
What is the New Age movement, and how is it different from and
similar to Neopaganism in its underlying beliefs and still-evolving
practices? Where did these decentralized and eclectic movements
come from, and why have they grown and flourished at this point in
American religious history? What is the relationship between the
New Age and Neopaganism and other religions in America,
particularly Christianity, which is often construed as antagonistic
to them? Drawing on historical and ethnographic accounts, Sarah
Pike explores these questions and offers a sympathetic yet critical
treatment of religious practices often marginalized yet soaring in
popularity. The book provides a general introduction to the
varieties of New Age and Neopagan religions in the United States
today as well as an account of their nineteenth-century roots and
emergence from the 1960s counterculture. Covering such topics as
healing, gender and sexuality, millennialism, and ritual
experience, it also furnishes a rich description and analysis of
the spiritual worlds and social networks created by
participants.
Covering the range of pediatric spinal cord disease, its clinical
assessment, appropriate investigation, its medical and
neurosurgical management and neuro-rehabilitation. Spinal cord
disorders have tended to be approached as adjuncts to disorders of
the paediatric brain or peripheral nervous system. This is partly a
function of numbers - specifically spinal pathologies being less
frequent than those of the brain and the peripheral neuromuscular
system, partly a function of the relatively limited investigation
techniques available before the advent of MRI and, at least to some
degree, it is because the clinical evaluation of the spinal cord in
young children is difficult and may be overshadowed by the
manifestations of accompanying brain and peripheral neuromuscular
symptomatology. It is likely that the role of the cord, in
conditions ranging from neonatal neurological injury to shaken
impact syndrome and in inflammatory and neurometabolic disorders
and beyond, will continue to become more evident over coming years.
Readership: Pediatric neurologists; Pediatric neurosurgeons;
Pediatric oncologists; Pediatric neuroradiologists and
neurophysiologists; Rehabilitation physicians and therapists.
This open access book is the result of collaborations between
international researchers who have focused on diverse processes of
democratic participation-and exclusion-that are intimately involved
with ritual acts and complexes. The main question integrating the
collection concerns the ways in which the performative qualities of
ritual resources achieve their potential as forms of personal and
political empowerment in our changing world. The authors seek to
define the key terms "ritual" and "democracy" with reference to
fieldwork-informed case studies from selected communities. They
critically address democracy as a concept in a time of climate
crisis, nationalism, religious re-traditionalizing, fake news and
aspirational fascism. Furthermore, they discuss ways in which
ritualized practices such as memorial gatherings, festivals,
protest actions, pilgrimages and worship services give rise to
modes of feeling, processes of representation, and patterns of
interaction in which democratic explorations are given pride of
place. The eBook editions of this book are available open access
under a CC BY-NC-ND license on www.bloomsburycollections.com. Open
