Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry, Fifteen Volume Set is the
market-leading resource covering all areas of this critical
sub-discipline of chemistry. Divided into 15 clear sections, it
provides expert coverage of the synthesis, structures, bonding and
reactivity of all organometallic compounds, including the
mechanisms of the reactions. Applications of organometallic
chemistry, such as the role of these compounds as reagents and
catalysts for organometallic transformations, and their
participation in bioorganometallic chemistry, is then covered. This
is a vibrant area, as illustrated by the fact that the 2001, 2005
and 2010 Nobel prizes in Chemistry are all concerned with
organometallic chemistry. This new edition will therefore again
provide an invaluable and efficient learning resource for all
researchers and educators looking for up-to-date analysis of a
particular aspect of organometallic chemistry.
Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry III, Nine Volume Set describes
the fundamentals of metal-ligand interactions, provides an overview
of the systematic chemistry of this class of compounds, and details
their importance in life processes, medicine, industry and
materials science. This new edition spans across 9 volumes, 185
entries and 6600 printed pages. Comprehensive Coordination
Chemistry III is not just an update of the second edition, it
includes a significant amount of new content. In the descriptive
sections 3-6, emphasis is placed upon material that has appeared in
primary and secondary review literature since the previous edition
published. The material in other sections is newly written, with an
emphasis on modern aspects of coordination chemistry and the latest
developments. The metal-ligand interaction is the link between the
award of the 1913 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Alfred Werner, the
father of Coordination Chemistry, the 1987 prize for supramolecular
chemistry and the 2016 award for molecular machines. The key role
of coordination chemistry in the assembly of hierarchical nano- and
micro-dimensioned structures lies at the core of these applications
and so this Major Reference Work bridges several sub-disciplines of
chemistry, thus targeting a truly interdisciplinary audience.

The "riveting...truly shocking" (The New York Times Book Review)
story of a Jewish orphan who fled Nazi Germany for London, only to
be arrested and sent to a British internment camp for suspected
foreign agents on the Isle of Man, alongside a renowned group of
refugee musicians, intellectuals, artists, and--possibly--genuine
spies. Following the events of Kristallnacht in 1938, Peter
Fleischmann evaded the Gestapo's roundups in Berlin by way of a
perilous journey to England on a Kindertransport rescue, an effort
sanctioned by the UK government to evacuate minors from
Nazi-controlled areas.train. But he could not escape the British
police, who came for him in the early hours and shipped him off to
Hutchinson Camp on the Isle of Man, under suspicion of being a spy
for the very regime he had fled. During Hitler's rise to power in
the 1930s, tens of thousands of German and Austrian Jews like Peter
escaped and found refuge in Britain. After war broke out and
paranoia gripped the nation, Prime Minister Winston Churchill
ordered that these innocent asylum seekers--so-called "enemy
aliens"--be interned. When Peter arrived at Hutchinson Camp, he
found one of history's most astounding prison populations: renowned
professors, composers, journalists, and artists. Together, they
created a thriving cultural community, complete with art
exhibitions, lectures, musical performances, and poetry readings.
The artists welcomed Peter as their pupil and forever changed the
course of his life. Meanwhile, suspicions grew that a real spy was
hiding among them--one connected to a vivacious heiress from
Peter's past. Drawing from unpublished first-person accounts and
newly declassified government documents, award-winning journalist
Simon Parkin reveals an "extraordinary yet previously untold true
story" (Daily Express) that serves as a "testimony to human
fortitude despite callous, hypocritical injustice" (The New Yorker)
and "an example of how individuals can find joy and meaning in the
absurd and mundane" (The Spectator).
Following the catastrophic events of the 2008 global financial
crisis, an anonymous hacker released Bitcoin to claw back power
from commercial and central banks. It quickly garnered an
enthusiastic following who sought to forge a stable and democratic
global economy—a world free from hierarchy and control. In their
eyes, Bitcoin's underlying architecture, blockchain, hailed the
dawn of decentralisation. Money Code Space shatters these
emancipatory claims. In their place, Jack Parkin constructs a new
framework for revealing the geographies of power that lie behind
blockchain networks. Drawing on first-hand experience in
cryptocurrency communities and start-up companies from Silicon
Valley to London, Parkin untangles the complex web of culture,
politics, and economics that truly drive decentralisation.
