This book provides the scientific community for the very first time, a comprehensive review on cucurbit[n]uril (CB[n], n = 510), a new family of molecular hosts, which has gained much attention in the new millennium for its exceptional molecular recognition ability. This pioneering publication starts with a brief overview on the history of CBs, followed by six chapters which cover the synthesis, structures, recognition properties of CBs; supramolecular assemblies built with CBs; applications of CBs; functionalization of CBs; applications of functionalized CBs; and CBs analogues and congeners. Full and up-to-date coverage of all the key issues in the area of CB chemistry are also provided, as are fresh perspectives.

This collection of hugely popular and critically acclaimed photos celebrates New York City's unique history and culture-from long-disappeared icons to still-thriving favorite haunts. For decades, husband-and-wife photography duo James and Karla Murray have been on a mission to document and preserve on film the various small shops of New York City-many of which are quickly disappearing-and a culture of authenticity that is hanging by just a thread. Featuring glorious new reproductions of images from their past books as well as never-before published photos, this elegiac volume will delight the Murrays' multitude of fans, as well as anyone interested in the charm and history of small urban retail. Large in format and filled with color and affectionate detail, the book includes an introduction by the Murrays explaining the genesis of their lifelong project and why they love to photograph store fronts. Chapters are organized by each of the city's five boroughs and include descriptions and maps. Most of the store fronts are featured in generous single-page images with captions listing location, neighborhood, and year the photo was taken. Filled with diversity and character, these images honor destinations lost to rising rents and changing demographics. Together they comprise both a guidebook and a love letter to a city that never sleeps, and is always evolving.

In the past decade, a number of advances have been made in genetic engineering as applied to farmed animals. This book has been developed from invited presentations at a conference held in California in August 1997, to address this issue. It is written by representatives from the leading laboratories involved in attempts to improve agriculturally important mammals, poultry and fish. Current knowledge, methodology, technical improvements and successes in the applications of transgenic technology to a range of animals which are important in agriculture are brought together for the first time under one cover. This book is essential reading for research workers in animal genetics, breeding and biotechnology.

Fundamentals of Corporate Finance 2e reflects the reality that Finance as an intellectual discipline continues to be challenged by the experiences and events of market activity. Following the global financial crisis (GFC), mangers have embarked on even more uncertain times. Thus, although the teaching of finance may have remained robust as a framework of conceptual thought, it is imperative that students come to realise that finance is not physics, by which we mean that even a concept as foundational to financial management as the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) should not be interpreted as a literal truth. This leads to a consideration of managing risk and risk management approaches as having behavioural aspects that are the outcomes of a manager's or the firm's accumulated experience. They cannot always be reduced to the simple directives of a quantitative algorithm. The text helps students develop the intuition and analytical skills necessary to effectively apply financial tools in real-world decision-making situations. The text provides a fully integrated framework for understanding how value creation relates to all aspects of corporate finance: whether it be evaluating an investment opportunity, determining the appropriate financing for a business, or managing working capital. This unique and integrated framework also enables students to develop problem solving and decision-making skills. The 2nd edition has undergone a thorough revision to the end of chapter materials, and the internal design of the book has been revamped to make it more visually appealing. As a result the text is far easier to navigate for students and is significantly more engaging in its presentation. The ground breaking Wiley E-Text version of Fundamentals of Corporate Finance 2e features narrated concept summaries, animated demo problems, stepped tutorials and interactive end of chapter materials to allow students to attempt the problems in the text and receive immediate feedback. Students can also do key word searches within the E-Text, highlight content of interest and make notes. Wiley The E-Text can be used on all popular platforms and devices including OC, Mac, iPad, Android and Kindle Fire.
