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.
A cheerful, optimistic handbook for parents and carers shaping the
next generation of responsible global citizens - ready to change
the world for the better! Our children have the energy, capacity,
and passion to create and nurture a global culture in which
inclusion, acceptance, respect, and participation are the core
values that underpin a human being's every interaction. As parents
and carers, our job is to help our children take their first steps
along that path. Raising truly globally minded, and socially
conscious children happens at home and in the community. Children
can be inspired, equipped, and mobilized to make a difference in
the world. By encouraging values such as responsible and kind use
of social media, respect, open mindedness, empathy, a sense of
community, parents can help to shape a new generation of
emotionally intelligent, outward-looking, politically ethical world
citizens. Relevant to parents of children of all ages - from
toddlers to teens - the book gives practical advice on how to talk
to your children, the vocabulary to use, and activities and
projects you can undertake with your children, from planting a tree
to keeping a gratitude diary to cooking themed cuisines. And you'll
find out how to model global citizenship through your own
day-to-day actions. Marvyn Harrison is a father of two and founder
