Come on a journey into the heart of matter,and enjoy the
process!,as a brilliant scientist and entertaining tour guide takes
you on a fascinating voyage through the Periodic Kingdom, the world
of the elements. The periodic table, your map for this trip, is the
most important concept in chemistry. It hangs in classrooms and
labs throughout the world, providing support for students,
suggesting new avenues of research for professionals, succinctly
organizing the whole of chemistry. The one hundred or so elements
listed in the table make up everything in the universe, from
microscopic organisms to distant planets. Just how does the
periodic table help us make sense of the world around us? Using
vivid imagery, ingenious analogies, and liberal doses of humour P.
W. Atkins answers this question. He shows us that the Periodic
Kingdom is a systematic place. Detailing the geography, history and
governing institutions of this imaginary landscape, he demonstrates
how physical similarities can point to deeper affinities, and how
the location of an element can be used to predict its properties.
Here's an opportunity to discover a rich kingdom of the imagination
kingdom of which our own world is a manifestation.
Magnetic resonance has constantly been able to surprise with its
ability to exhibit new phenomena. Just when it appears to be
entering a quiet middle age it bursts into activity with some new
manifestation of its versatility. This happened a few years ago,
when observations on anomalous intensities were looked at more
closely, and the pursuit of explanations and further evidence laid
the foundations of the subjects treated in this volume. In
organizing the NATO Advanced Study Institute we attempted to bring
together a number, but by no means all, of those who had
contributed significantly to the subject, and to obtain from them a
comprehensive and detailed exposition of the subject. We were
particularly anxious to avoid a set of lectures that dealt solely
with the theory of the subject, because much of the interest in
chemically induced magnetic polarization is due to its usefulness
in applications to chemical problems: it is a real chemical tech
nique, not just an amusing diversion for theoreticians. We set
about organizing the course with the idea of making it useful to
people who wanted to use the technique (for, after all, in the case
of nuclear polarization, CIDNP, the technique can be used in any
laboratory with minor modification of standard equipment)."
Der "kleine" Atkins ist ideal fA1/4r Bachelor-Studierende der
Chemie und Studierende anderer Naturwissenschaften sowie der
Ingenieurwissenschaften: das Buch fA1/4hrt ein in die Grundlagen
der Physikalischen Chemie, die besonders hohe Anforderungen an die
Studentinnen und Studenten stellt. Das erstmals auf Deutsch
vorliegende Arbeitsbuch zur 5. Auflage des "kleinen" Atkins
ermAglicht die eigenstAndige Kontrolle des Lernerfolgs dank der
ausfA1/4hrlich durchgerechneten LAsungen der mehr als 800 Aufgaben
aus dem Lehrbuch. Auch im attraktiven Deluxe-Set mit dem Lehrbuch
erhAltlich!
Mit seinem lebendigen und anschaulichen Stil sowie einer immer
weiter verfeinerten Didaktik hat Peter Atkins das Lernen und Lehren
in der Physikalischen Chemie revolutioniert. Sein Stil ist
unverwechselbar - und unerreicht. Die 5. Auflagedes "kleinen"
Atkins fur natur- und ingenieurwissenschaftliche Studiengange hat
ein neues, innovatives Konzept, das dabei unterstutzt, samtliche
Hurden zu meistern. Der Stoff ist in 15 Fokus-Kapitel aufgeteilt.
Zu Beginn jedes Fokus werden Beziehungen zwischen den Abschnitten
innerhalb eines Fokus hergestellt, um die Verbindungen zwischen den
verschiedenen Gebieten der Physikalischen Chemie hervorzuheben.
Jeder Abschnitt beginnt mit einer Motivation, Nennung der
Schlusselideen und der Voraussetzungen, die die Leserinnen und
Leser zum Verstandnis des Abschnitts mitbringen sollten. Zahlreiche
durchgerechnete Beispiele, Zusammenfassungen, Verstandnistests und
Hinweise zur richtigen Verwendung von Fachsprache helfen dabei, die
erlernten Konzepte zu festigen und ermoeglichen zielgerichtetes
Lernen und Wiederholen. Passend zur 5. Auflage gibt es erstmals ein
Arbeitsbuch mit durchgerechneten Loesungen der mehr als 800
Aufgaben. Der "kleine" Atkins ist und bleibt ein Muss fur jeden
Einsteiger und jede Einsteigerin in die Physikalische Chemie. Auch
im attraktiven Deluxe-Set mit dem Arbeitsbuch erhaltlich!
Highly Commended in the 2004 BMA Medical Book Competition
(Endocrinology)
Judges' summary:
"Beautifully and clearly written to appeal to all levels of
healthcare professional knowledge. A wealth of practical experience
is freely donated to the reader in a friendly and accessible way.
Each section is easily found and any member of the team could care
for a patient with that particular problem to a high standard with
this book in their hand. I would unhesitatingly recommend to all
diabetes doctors - both senior and junior, and every diabetes unit
should have a copy. This new edition is excellent and should be
considered for an award."
"Diabetes and its Management," Sixth Edition, continues to
provide a practical clinical guide to the management of patients
with diabetes. The author team has been expanded and now also
includes a Nurse Practitioner specialising in diabetes to provide
the nursing perspective. It is a concise manual that distils the
essential recent developments into practical advice.
Jung's theory of psychological type distinguishes between the four
functions of sensing, intuition, thinking and feeling. This book
uses type theory to explore 26 passages from Matthew's Gospel as
they appear in the Revised Common Lectionary. The insights gained
provide an invaluable resource for teachers and leaders, as well as
a key tool for personal meditation. The Theory has profound
implications for Christian leaders, who need to nurture all four
psychological types in their congregations, and also for how
individual Christians meditate on scripture to nourish their whole
selves. The Personality Type and Scripture Series covers all three
Gospels in Years A, B and C of Lectionary cycle. Exploring Mark's
Gospel and Exploring Luke's Gospel are already in print. The series
gived support and inspiration to all those using the Lectionary
each year as part of their Bible reading.
