Now fully revised and updated for its sixth edition, Inside Book
Publishing is the classic introduction to the book publishing
industry. Giles Clark and Angus Phillips offer authoritative
coverage of all sectors of the industry, from commercial fiction
and non-fiction to educational publishing and academic journals.
They reveal how publishers continue to adapt to a fast-changing and
highly interconnected world, in which printed books have proved
resilient alongside ebooks and the growth of audio. Major themes
are explored, including the development of digital products and the
use of social media in book marketing, as well as those that affect
publishers' businesses, such as the rise of internet retailing;
rental models for student textbooks; and open access, where
academic content is free to the user. Case studies from industry
experts give fascinating perspectives on topics such as
crowdfunding, self-publishing and how authors can market
themselves. The book provides excellent overviews of the main
aspects of the publishing process: commissioning authors, product
development, design and production, marketing, sales and
distribution. As a manual for those in the profession and a guide
for the potential publishers of the future, Inside Book Publishing
remains a seminal work for anyone with an interest in the industry.
It will also be of interest to authors seeking an insider's view of
this exciting industry.

Practical analysis of the planning opportunities for investment

extended treatment of non domiciliaries. The latest edition
discusses the changes brought about by Brexit and the impact of
Inheritance Tax revisions.
Outside the north gate of Venta Belgarum, Roman Winchester, a great
cemetary stretched for 500 yards along the road to Cirencester.
Excavations at Lankhills from 1967 to 1972 uncovered 451 graves,
many elaborately furnished, at the northern limits of this
cemetery, and dating from the fourth century A.D. This book, the
second in a two-part study of Venta Belgarum, which forms the third
volume of Winchester Studies, describes the excavations of these
burials and analyses in detail both the graves and their contents.
There are detailed studies and important re-assessments of many
categories of object, but it is the information about late Roman
burial, religion, and society which is of special interest.

This book pursues possible strategies for synthesising mainly
organic compounds, particularly those of interest to the health
sector and related industries. Topics covered include addition
reactions of aldehydes and ketones; the use of organometallic
reagents to form carbon-carbon bonds (eg Grignard reagents); and
radical reactions, including selectivity and chain reactions.
Retrosynthetic analysis is introduced as a strategy for developing
syntheses, along with biochemical pathways. Mechanism and Synthesis
concludes with a Case Study on polymers, which demonstrates how
chain reactions can be used to build up useful materials with
specific properties, such as contact lenses. The Molecular World
series provides an integrated introduction to all branches of
chemistry for both students wishing to specialise and those wishing
to gain a broad understanding of chemistry and its relevance to the
everyday world and to other areas of science. The books, with their
Case Studies and accompanying multi-media interactive CD-ROMs, will
also provide valuable resource material for teachers and lecturers.
(The CD-ROMs are designed for use on a PC running Windows 95, 98,
ME or 2000.)
Chemical Kinetics and Mechanism considers the role of rate of
reaction. It begins by introducing chemical kinetics and the
analysis of reaction mechanism, from basic well-established
concepts to leading edge research. Organic reaction mechanisms are
then discussed, encompassing curly arrows, nucleophilic
substitution and E1 and E2 elimination reactions. The book
concludes with a Case Study on Zeolites, which examines their
structure and internal dimensions in relation to their behaviour as
molecular sieves and catalysts. The accompanying CD-ROM contains
the ""Kinetics Toolkit,"" a graph-plotting application designed for
manipulation and analysis of kinetic data, which is built into many
of the examples, questions and exercises in the text. There are
also interactive activities illustrating reaction mechanisms. The
Molecular World series provides an integrated introduction to all
branches of chemistry for both students wishing to specialise and
those wishing to gain a broad understanding of chemistry and its
relevance to the everyday world and to other areas of science. The
books, with their Case Studies and accompanying multi-media
interactive CD-ROMs, will also provide valuable resource material
for teachers and lecturers. (The CD-ROMs are designed for use on a
PC running Windows 95, 98, ME or 2000.)
This book looks at the common techniques used to prepare, purify
and identify chemicals. Topics including distillation,
recrystallisation, chromatography, elemental analysis, atomic
absorption spectroscopy and mass spectrometry are discussed, and
are illustrated on video on the accompanying CD-ROMs. Infrared and
nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy are covered entirely
through multi-media, with animations and virtual experiments. The
reader is provided with examples for interpretation, and can draw
in the structures using the software provided. There is also a set
of interactive self-assessment questions. In all, the multi-media
software suite comprises more than twelve hours of material.
Separation, Purification and Identification concludes with a Case
Study on Forensic Science, in which illustrations of criminal cases
where spectroscopic techniques provided evidence are given. The

branches of chemistry for both students wishing to specialise and

Hold on to your guts and go-go boots because now you can take a
trip back to those 1960's drive-in movies and join the burgeoning
youth culture and its experimentation with LSD, psychedelia, and
the way-out sounds attributed to it. Read as the teenage
swinging-set are hideously murdered by some unknown beast, sending
the town into a frenzied panic. Could Tick Johnson's disturbed pal
Joey, with his mind-bending powers of ESP be responsible? When
Tick's girlfriend disappears, Tick has no choice but to find the
answers. Fasten your seatbelt for a non-stop ride of psychedelic
acid trips, ESP, go-go chicks, nudity, sixties garage rock, spooky
graveyards, and enough blood 'n' guts to fill a 10-gallon vat. What
are you waiting for! Read this screenplay and wallow in the
depravity that is known as: Teenage Horror A-Go-Go. When you open
this book, the gore will literally drop out onto your lap! You've
been warned!

This book looks at how molecules react, and how the feasibility and
outcome of chemical reactions can be predicted. Beginning with an
introduction to the concept of an activity series of metals, Metals
and Chemical Change then introduces chemical thermodynamics
(enthalpy, entropy and free energy) and applies the concept to both
inorganic and organic elements. A Case Study on batteries and fuel
cells is also included. The accompanying CD-ROM includes video
sequences of the reactions of metals with water, acid and aqueous
ions, and gives the reader an opportunity to make experimental
observations and predictions about chemical behaviour. A
comprehensive Data Book of chemical and physical constants is
included, along with a set of interactive self-assessment
questions. The Molecular World series provides an integrated
introduction to all branches of chemistry for both students wishing
to specialise and those wishing to gain a broad understanding of
chemistry and its relevance to the everyday world and to other
areas of science. The books, with their Case Studies and
accompanying multi-media interactive CD-ROMs, will also provide
valuable resource material for teachers and lecturers. (The CD-ROMs
are designed for use on a PC running Windows 95, 98, ME or 2000.)
