This widely-acclaimed serial contains authoritative reviews that
address all aspects of organometallic chemistry, a field which has
expanded enormously since the publication of Volume 1 in 1964.
Almost all branches of chemistry and material science now interface
with organometallic chemistry--the study of compounds containing
carbon-metal bonds. Organometallic compounds range from species
which are so reactive that they only have a transient existence at
ambient temperatures to species which are thermally very stable.
Organometallics are used extensively in the synthesis of useful
compounds on both large and small scales. Industrial processes
involving plastics, polymers, electronic materials, and
pharmaceuticals all depend on advancements in organometallic
chemistry.
The fascinating and exciting evidence in this book has tremendous
appeal. For students of Music Therapy, and others training in
medical and paramedical disciplines, it can be considered an
essential text for study, and required reading to gain an overview
of the field.
This book provides a landmark in the literature of Music Therapy.
For the scientist, chapters on the biological and medical effects
of music give a wealth of research evidence on the value of music
in therapy and music in medicine. For readers from paramedical,
educational and other clinical fields, there are eighteen chapters
detailing music therapy techniques and approaches in psychiatry,
pediatrics, learning difficulties, elderly and sensory handicap.
Diagnosis and assessment are covered in considerable detail and the
general effect of music is reviewed in many of the
contributions.
For all qualified music therapists and students.
Polymer chemistry and technology form one of the major areas of
molecular and materials science. This field impinges on nearly
every aspect of modern life, from electronics technology, to
medicine, to the wide range of fibers, films, elastomers, and
structural materials on which everyone depends. Although most of
these polymers are organic materials, attention is being focused
increasingly toward polymers that contain inorganic elements as
well as organic components. The goal of Inorganic Polymers is to
provide a broad overview of inorganic polymers in a way that will
be useful to both the uninitiated and those already working in this
field. There are numerous reasons for being interested in inorganic
polymers. One is the simple need to know how structure affects the
properties of a polymer, particularly outside the well-plowed area
of organic materials. Another is the bridge that inorganic polymers
provide between polymer science and ceramics. More and more
chemistry is being used in the preparation of ceramics of carefully
controlled structure, and inorganic polymers are increasingly
important precursor materials in such approaches.
This new edition begins with a brief introductory chapter. That is
followed with a discussion of the characteristics and
characterization of polymers, with examples taken from the field.
Other chapters in the book detail the synthesis, reaction
chemistry, molecular structure, and uses of polyphosphazenes,
polysiloxanes, and polysilanes. The coverage in the second edition
has been updated and expanded significantly to cover advances and
interesting trends since the first edition appeared. Three new
chapters have been added, focusing on ferrocene-based polymers,
other phosphorous-containing polymers, and boron-containing
polymers; inorganic-organic hybrid composites; and preceramic
inorganic polymers.
Christian Encounters, a series of biographies from Thomas Nelson
Publishers, highlights important lives from all ages and areas of
the Church. Some are familiar faces. Others are unexpected guests.
But all, through their relationships, struggles, prayers, and
desires, uniquely illuminate our shared experience.
Francis of Assisi has inspired the church for centuries. Francis
took the gospel literally, following all that Jesus said and did
without limit, and his devotion led to a life filled with miracles
and wonders.
Born to a wealthy cloth merchant in Assisi, Italy, Francis
didn't seem destined for the life of prayer and poverty that he
chose. Bankrolled by his father, and with natural good looks and
personality, Francis indulged in worldly pleasure. He had a ready
wit, sang merrily, and delighted in fine clothes and showy display.
Serious illness brought the young Francis to see the emptiness of
his frolicking ways and led him to a life of prayer and unbridled
devotion to Scripture. He gave over all his possessions to the poor
and embraced a life of simplicity and poverty, transforming him
from a self-centered youth to a man living for God and a model of
complete obedience.
