Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed
review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical
research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series
creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying
regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas
of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and
its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports
charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form
of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry
could no longer be contained within one volume and the series
Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports
themselves still existed but were divided into two, and
subsequently three, volumes covering Inorganic, Organic and
Physical Chemistry. For more general coverage of the highlights in
chemistry they remain a 'must'. Since that time the SPR series has
altered according to the fluctuating degree of activity in various
fields of chemistry. Some titles have remained unchanged, while
others have altered their emphasis along with their titles; some
have been combined under a new name whereas others have had to be
discontinued. The current list of Specialist Periodical Reports can
be seen on the inside flap of this volume.

Tim Harrison, Oakwood, Ohio's police officer, paramedic,
firefighter and exotic animal rescuer has penned another collection
of exotic animal rescues from all over Ohio. Harrison who now has a
national following, is the antithesis to the Crocodile Hunter. His
message is clear, "If you love wild animals, leave them where they
are, in the wild." And he uses this book along with his other one
to make his point clear.
Although we rely on physicians, calling on them at birth and death
and every medical event in between, rarely do we consider the
personal challenges faced by doctors-to-be. In 2005 author
Jacqueline Marino and photojournalist Tim Harrison had the
unprecedented opportunity to chronicle the experiences of three
students as they learned to become doctors at the Case Western
Reserve University School of Medicine. In White Coats, Marino and
Harrison bring readers into the classrooms, anatomy labs, and
hospitals where the students take their first pulses, dissect their
first cadavers, and deliver their first babies. Marleny Franco, who
moved from the Dominican Republic to Boston's Dominican projects
when she was nine, must first overcome social and cultural
barriers-and those she constructs herself. Michael Norton, a devout
Mormon, juggles the pressures of medical school along with family
responsibilities and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Millie Gentry, a fashion model, tries to balance the demands of
medical school with finding time to go out with friends and
volunteer at the local free clinic. These are personal stories, yet
they reflect significant issues in medical education. Franco,
Norton, and Gentry try to master an ever-increasing load of medical
science, confront problems of professionalism, and learn the
importance of empathy. Each must make personal sacrifices,
including taking on crushing debt, pur- suing round-the-clock work,
and neglecting family, friends, and health. White Coats focuses on
the human side of the transformation from student to doctor and
will appeal to anyone interested in health care, medical education,
and the hopes, struggles, and joys of aspiring doctors.
