Following the first two volumes "Dendrimers" (TCC vol. 197) and
"Dendrimers II" (TCC vol. 210), the third volume dealing with this
topic is now appearing in print (the "tetralogy" on dendrimers will
soon be completed with the fourth volume). The present volume
comprises a collection of up-to-date reviews written by renowned
pioneers of research in the dendrimer field, three of whom lectured
at the 1. International Dendrimer Symposium (IDS-1 1999) in
Frankfurt. A focus of this volume is the variety of material
properties of soft and shape-persistent dendrimers. As its
predecessors did, this volume breaks through the frontiers to
neighboring disciplines and, in an interdisciplinary approach,
addresses topics such as polydisperse, hyperbranched macromolecules
(dendritic polymers), the analysis of shape and density by
small-angle scattering techniques, finely dispersed metals
(dendrimers as catalysts), and nanotechnology close to potential
applications.

psychedelics, steroids to smart drugs, and discusses likely
effects, precautions, and alternatives. Now expanded and updated to
cover such drugs as oxycontin, Ecstasy, Prozac, and ephedra and to
address numerous ongoing issues, including the United States' war
on drugs, marijuana for therapeutic use, the overuse of drugs for
children diagnosed with ADHD, and more, From Chocolate to Morphine

From the great popularizer of alternative medicine, here is a collection of essays about his travels to South America in the early 1970s in search of information on altered states of consciousness, drug use in other cultures, and other matters having to do with the complementarity of mind and body. Andrew Weil"s experiences during this time laid the foundation for his mission to restore the connection between medicine and nature. In The Marriage of the Sun and Moon, now updated with a new preface by the author, the esteemed Dr. Weil fi rst attempts to empower patients to take fuller charge of their destinies.
