"Ten Fun Things to Do Before You Die" is a unique blend of humor and insight -- a guide to a successful life according to Karol Jackowski, who has been a nun for almost four decades. Charming and very funny, this book offers advice about overcoming serious challenges and striving toward everlasting worth.

"Ten Fun Things to Do Before You Die" features funny, whimsical illustrations as well as asides and sidebars. And, of course, at the core of the book are ten short, humorous essays:
-- First Fun Thing: Have More Fun Than Anyone Else
-- Second Fun Thing: Get Some Insight
-- Third Fun Thing: Get Some Depth
-- Fourth Fun Thing: Find a Place to Escape Reality
-- Fifth Fun Thing: Write Something at the End of Every Day
-- Sixth Fun Thing: Think About Nuns
-- Seventh Fun Thing: Make Yourself Interesting
-- Eighth Fun Thing: Eve None for a While
-- Ninth Fun Thing: Treat Yourself
-- Tenth Fun Thing: Live Eke You Have Nothing to Lose

This book covers the recent NMR studies with the application of gaseous molecules. Among the comprehensively discussed aspects of the area it includes in particular: new multinuclear experiments that deliver spectral parameters of isolated molecules and provide the most accurate values of nuclear magnetic shielding, isotropic spin-spin coupling and relaxation times; advanced, precise and correct theoretical descriptions of spectral parameters of molecules as well as the application of gas-phase NMR measurements to chemical analysis and medicine. The progress of research in these fields is enormous and has rapidly changed our knowledge and understanding of molecular parameters in NMR spectroscopy. For example, accurate studies of the shielding for isolated molecules allow the exact determination of nuclear magnetic dipole moments, the calculated values of spectral parameters can be verified by precise gas-phase NMR measurements, and the application of hyperpolarized noble gases provides excellent MRI pictures of lungs. Aimed at graduates and researchers in spectroscopy, analytical chemistry and those researching the applications of NMR in medicine, this book presents the connections between sophisticated experiments, the theory of magnetic parameters and the exploration of new methods in practice.
