This story is not about Japan. It is about all people. It is about
tragedy and fear. It is about courage. It is about love, and it is
about growth. It is about doing the right thing. It is written in
English, but the setting is Western Manchuria early in World War
II. The pilots of the Japanese forces are facing their first combat
against top notch Russian pilots. They apply their training but
find that actual combat is not what the books described. They find
comfort in the arms of the women that provide relief... for a
price. Manchuria + Mongolia. Russia + Japan. Buddhism +
Christianity + Islam. Occupation + Oppression. The World's Oldest
Profession + Sympathy and Humanity. Add them all together and you
get: A compelling story of a young man thrown into a stark reality.
He must grow quickly and learn the hard way. From the fear and
danger to: The Tiger's Den
Coordination chemistry, as we know it today, has been shaped by
major figures from the past, one of whom was Joseph Chatt.
Beginning with a description of Chatt's career presented by
co-workers, contemporaries and students, this fascinating book then
goes on to show how many of today's leading practitioners in the
field, working in such diverse areas as phosphines, hydrogen
complexes, transition metal complexes and nitrogen fixation, have
been influenced by Chatt. The reader is then brought right
up-to-date with the inclusion of some of the latest research on
these topics, all of which serves to underline Chatt's continuing
legacy. Intended as a permanent record of Chatt's life, work and
influence, this book will be of interest to lecturers, graduate
students, researchers and science historians.
'Entertaining and enlightening ... offers ways to temper our anti-social tendencies.' Dr Michael Mosley, science journalist and TV presenter
It can often seem that we are utterly surrounded by temptation, from the ease of online shopping and the stream of targeted advertising encouraging us to greedily acquire yet more stuff, to the coffee, cake and fast-food shops that line our streets, beckoning us in to over-indulge on all the wrong things. It can feel like a constant battle to stay away from the temptations we know we shouldn't give in to. Where exactly do these urges come from? If we know we shouldn't do something, for the sake of our health, our pockets or our reputation, why is it often so very hard to do the right thing?
Anyone who has ever wondered why they never seem to be able to stick to their diet, anyone to whom the world seems more vain and self-obsessed than ever, anyone who can't understand why love-cheats pursue their extra-marital affairs, anyone who struggles to resist the lure of the comfy sofa, or anyone who makes themselves bitter through endless comparison with other people, anyone who is addicted to their smartphone - this book is for you.
The Science of Sin brings together the latest findings from neuroscience research to shed light on the universally fascinating subject of temptation - where it comes from, how to resist it and why we all tend to succumb from time to time. With each chapter inspired by one of the seven deadly sins, neurobiologist Jack Lewis illuminates the neural battles between temptation and restraint that take place within our brains, suggesting strategies to help us better manage our most troublesome impulses with the explicit goal of improving our health, our happiness and our productivity - helping us to say 'no!' more often, especially when it really counts.
