The renowned Oxford Chemistry Primer series, which provides focused
introductions to a range of important topics in chemistry, has been
refreshed and updated to suit the needs of today's students,
lecturers, and postgraduate researchers. The rigorous, yet
accessible, treatment of each subject area is ideal for those
wanting a primer in a given topic to prepare them for more advanced
study or research. Moreover, cutting-edge examples and applications
throughout the texts show the relevance of the chemistry being
described to current research and industry. The learning features
provided, including questions at the end of every chapter and
online multiple-choice questions, encourage active learning and
promote understanding. Furthermore, frequent diagrams, margin
notes, further reading, and glossary definitions all help to
enhance a student's understanding of these essential areas of
chemistry. Foundations of Molecular Structure Determination covers
a range of common spectroscopic and diffraction methods alongside
frequent worked examples and problem questions to assist beginning
undergraduates in developing their skills in structure analysis.
Furthermore, the practical application of these techniques is
emphasized, especially to biological and medical systems. Online
Resource Centre The Online Resource Centre to accompany Foundations
of Molecular Structure Determination features: For registered
adopters of the text: * Figures from the book available to download
For students: * Downloadable CIF data files * Multiple-choice
questions for self-directed learning * Full worked solutions to the
end-of-chapter exercises
In The Vitality of Contradiction, Bruce Gilbert provides an
exposition of Hegel's political philosophy to establish not only
that societies fail because of their contradictions, but also how
the unsurpassable oppositions of social life cultivate freedom. He
moves beyond Hegel's works to consider the limits of
liberal-capitalism and the contemporary social movements around the
world that stretch us beyond the global economic system. Drawing on
key Hegel texts such as Phenomenology of Spirit and the Philosophy
of Right, Gilbert shows how societies outgrow themselves as they
come to recognize key aspects of freedom and justice. He argues
that the dialectic requires that we recognize how
liberal-capitalism has both cultivated freedom and yet fails to
lead us to more sophisticated forms of freedom. Gilbert also
highlights organizations including Brazil's Movement of Landless
Workers and the Mondragon cooperative in Spain and the
sophisticated ways in which they are teaching the world new and
better ways to be free. Engaging and perceptive, The Vitality of
Contradiction illuminates the basic principles behind Hegel's
political thought and indicates the ways in which his work
encourages people to strive for a form of socialist democracy.
