Protein engineering endeavors to design new peptides and proteins
or to change the structural and/or functional characteristics of
existing ones for specific purposes, opening the way for the
development of new drugs. This work develops in a comprehensive way
the theoretical formulation for the methods used in
computer-assisted modeling and predictions, starting from the basic
concepts and proceeding to the more sophisticated methods, such as
Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics. An evaluation of the
approximations inherent to the simulations will allow the reader to
obtain a perspective of the possible deficiencies and difficulties
and approach the task with realistic expectations. Examples from
the authors laboratories, as well as from the literature provide
useful information.
The completely updated edition of J. M. Roberts and Odd Arne
Westad's widely acclaimed, landmark bestseller The Penguin History
of the World For generations of readers The Penguin History of the
World has been one of the great cultural experiences - the entire
story of human endeavour laid out in all its grandeur and folly,
drama and pain in a single authoritative book. Now, for the first
time, it has been completely overhauled for its 6th edition - not
just bringing it up to date, but revising it throughout in the
light of new research and discoveries, such as the revolution in
our understanding of many civilizations in the Ancient World. The
closing sections of the book reflect what now seems to be the
inexorable rise of Asia and the increasingly troubled situation in
the West. About the authors: J.M. Roberts, CBE, published The
Penguin History of the World in 1976 to immediate acclaim. His
other major books include The Paris Commune from the Right, The
Triumph of the West (which was also a successful television
series), The Penguin History of Europe and The Penguin History of
the Twentieth Century. He died in 2003. Odd Arne Westad, FBA, is
Professor of International History at the London School of
Economics. He has published fifteen books on modern and
contemporary international history, among them The Global Cold War,
which won the Bancroft Prize, and Decisive Encounters, a standard
history of the Chinese civil war. He also served as general
co-editor of the Cambridge History of the Cold War. Reviews: 'A
work of outstanding breadth of scholarship and penetrating
judgements. There is nothing better of its kind' Lord Jonathan
Sumption, Sunday Telegraph 'A stupendous achievement' A. J. P.
Taylor 'A brilliant book ... the most outstanding history of the
world yet written' J. H. Plumb
In this book John Roberts studies the puzzling nature of what came to be called the French Revolution, with its Janus-like aspect, looking to past and future at the same time. This new edition takes into account the recent discoveries in regional and local revolutionary history, and includes a thoroughly updated bibliography.

The present book is intended, as far as possible, to give an exact
insight into the theory of Relativity to those readers who, from a
general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested
in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical
apparatus of theoretical physics. The work presumes a standard of
education corresponding to that of a university matriculation
examination, and, despite the shortness of the book, a fair amount
of patience and force of will on the part of the reader. The author
has spared himself no pains in his endeavour to present the main
ideas in the simplest and most intelligible form, and on the whole,
in the sequence and connection in which they actually originated.
In the interest of clearness, it appeared to me inevitable that I
should repeat myself frequently, without paying the slightest
attention to the elegance of the presentation. I adhered
scrupulously to the precept of that brilliant theoretical physicist
L. Boltzmann, according to whom matters of elegance ought to be
left to the tailor and to the cobbler. I make no pretence of having
withheld from the reader difficulties which are inherent to the
subject. On the other hand, I have purposely treated the empirical
physical foundations of the theory in a "step-motherly" fashion, so
that readers unfamiliar with physics may not feel like the wanderer
who was unable to see the forest for the trees. May the book bring
some one a few happy hours of suggestive thought
