Over the past four decades, there has been immense progress in
every area of lignin science, ranging from the enzymology of lignin
biodegradation, to the delignification of wood fiber during pulping
and bleaching, to advances in spectroscopy. Lignin and Lignans:
Advances in Chemistry captures the developments that have been
achieved by world-class scientists in the most critical aspects of
this burgeoning field. Tools for the characterization of lignin and
lignans After an overview of the topic, the book discusses the
significance and comparative performances of the most commonly used
chemical degradation methods and presents lignin structural
information based on the use of these methods. Next, the book
explores spectroscopic methods, including UV-visible absorption,
fluorescence, Raman, infra red (IR), near-infrared (NIR), nuclear
magenetic resonance (NMR), and heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy. It
then compares the results of studies of lignin in situ with studies
of isolated lignins. Predicting reactivity The authors discuss
polymer properties related to thermal stability and molecular
motion of lignin in the solid state. They describe applications of
electronic structure calculations to the chemistry of lignin, and
they explore lignin reactions that occur during the chemical
pulping of wood by soda, kraft, AQ, and polysulfide processes.
Chemistry associated with industrial processes The book describes
chemical pulp bleaching, oxidative and reductive lignin-retaining
bleaching, and lignin biodegradation. It also examines the
application of microorganisms and the enzymes they produce in the
manufacturing of chemical and mechanical pulp. The book closes with
chapters on photodegradation and chromophore formation and the
pharmacological properties of lignans. Highlighting significant
developments on selected topics, this essential reference for those
in industry and academia is designed to fuel further research and
discovery in this specialized area, especially in the emerging
field of biorefining.

For English language educators, the classroom has become an
unpredictable environment where job security has declined in recent
years and where class sizes and other problems are increasing.
Familiar concerns are diminishing resources, additional time and
work required to address accountability and accreditation, and the
ongoing pressures ofteacher evaluation. This book is the first to
address topics of reigniting, retooling, and retiring in English
language teaching. Reigniting, retooling, and retiring are positive
steps in the career path of the educator who is seeking support and
guidance along his or her professional journey. Drawing on the
collective expertise of many contributors with a wide range of
professional experiences and a combined history of hundreds of
years of experience worldwide, this volume provides readers with a
thorough and in-depth analysis of the ways in which to address
professional development from the beginning of one's career through
retirement and beyond. The diverse perspectives offered in the book
can help teachers who face any of the challenges identified,
regardless of their teaching context or tenure.
