Jonathan Carroll married Nkechi Okoro when he was twenty-five years old, after an eighteen-month courtship. He knew that Nkechi was a "franchise player" who would lead him to a championship life from the moment they first met in college five years earlier. More than ten years after saying "I do," she has more than delivered. In modern society, Jonathan and Nkechi's relationship and rise into a marriage of champions seems like a rare occurrence. However, the truth is that there are similar couples from all walks of life who manage to maintain a committed bond while striving to be the best they can be. Married to the Franchise chronicles both Jonathan's road to being in a position as a "relationship owner" where he could partner with a woman of Nkechi's caliber, as well as the journeys of other men who found franchise players with whom to share a life. It explores the ways that these couples manage to keep walking side by side through financial ups and downs, career changes, and family expansion.

In France in an Era of Global War, scholars re-examine experiences of French politics, occupation, empire and entanglements with the Anglophone world between 1914 and 1945. In doing so, they question the long-standing myths and assumptions which continue to surround this period, and offer new avenues of enquiry.

In recent years there has been a huge rise in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research in animal sciences which has accelerated improvements in animal welfare. Down to earth and practical, this book gives guidance on how cross-disciplinary research can advance animal welfare. With numerous examples and case studies, the text explains: * the different concepts regarding cross-disciplinary research * how to set up cross-disciplinary research projects * how to work in cross functional teams and models for effective team working * how different fields can impact animal welfare, including social sciences, neurosciences, genetics, behavioural ecology and technology. The aim of the book is to help researchers and graduate animal science students to understand how to advance animal welfare through the integration of disciplines.

PERSPECTIVES ON STRUCTURE AND MECHANISM IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY “Beyond the basics� physical organic chemistry textbook, written for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students Based on the author’s first-hand classroom experience, Perspectives on Structure and Mechanism in Organic Chemistry uses complementary conceptual models to give new perspectives on the structures and reactions of organic compounds, with the overarching goal of helping students think beyond the simple models of introductory organic chemistry courses. Through this approach, the text better prepares readers to develop new ideas in the future. In the 3rd Edition, the author thoroughly updates the topics covered and reorders the contents to introduce computational chemistry earlier and to provide a more natural flow of topics, proceeding from substitution, to elimination, to addition. About 20% of the 438 problems have been either replaced or updated, with answers available in the companion solutions manual. To remind students of the human aspect of science, the text uses the names of investigators throughout the text and references material to original (or accessible secondary or tertiary) literature as a guide for students interested in further reading. Sample topics covered in Perspectives on Structure and Mechanism in Organic Chemistry include: Fundamental concepts of organic chemistry, covering atoms and molecules, heats of formation and reaction, bonding models, and double bonds Density functional theory, quantum theory of atoms in molecules, Marcus Theory, and molecular simulations Asymmetric induction in nucleophilic additions to carbonyl compounds and dynamic effects on reaction pathways Reactive intermediates, covering reaction coordinate diagrams, radicals, carbenes, carbocations, and carbanions Methods of studying organic reactions, including applications of kinetics in studying reaction mechanisms and Arrhenius theory and transition state theory A comprehensive yet accessible reference on the subject, Perspectives on Structure and Mechanism in Organic Chemistry is an excellent learning resource for students of organic chemistry, medicine, and biochemistry. The text is ideal as a primary text for courses entitled Advanced Organic Chemistry at the upper undergraduate and graduate levels.

SOLUTIONS MANUAL FOR PERSPECTIVES ON STRUCTURE AND MECHANISM IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Based on the author’s first-hand classroom experience, this solutions manual complements the 3rd edition of Perspectives on Structure and Mechanism in Organic Chemistry. The solutions to the 438 textbook problems help students increase their understanding of physical organic chemistry, and more than 550 references stimulate their engagement with the chemical literature.

Who was the mysterious author of these papers? And do they hold the answers to the destiny of the United States and the world at large? Why was President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert murdered during the bloody 1960s? How and why did billionaire defense contractor Howard Hughes meet his fate? Was the Watergate Scandal merely an extension of these events? What about the impact of early 20th century maritime history? What was the role of Aristotle Onassis? What about post-Watergate conspiracies such as the so-called "October Surprise" and Inslaw? Project Seek offers answers to these mysteries.
