Today, our world increasingly is conceived of as being molecular.
An ever widening range of phenomena are described logically in
terms of molecular properties and molecular interactions. The
majority of known molecules are heterocyclic and heterocycles
dominate the fields of biochemistry, medicinal chemistry,
dyestuffs, photographic science and are of increasing importance in
many others, including polymers, adhesives, and molecular
engineering. Thus, the importance of heterocyclic chemistry
continues to increase and this three volume work by Drs. R. R.
Gupta, Mahendra Kumar and Vandana Gupta is a welcome addition to
the available guides on the subject. Its scope places it in a
useful niche between the single-volume texts and monographs of
heterocyclic chemistry and the multivolume treatises. The authors
have retained the well tried classical approach but have succeeded
in placing their own individual spin on their arrangement. They
have put together a well selected range from among the most
important of the vast array offacts available. This factual
material is ordered in a clear and logical fashion over the three
volumes. The present work should be of great value to students-and
practitioners of heterocyclic chemistry at all levels from the
advanced undergraduate upwards. It will be of particular assistance
in presenting a clear and modem view of the subject to those who
use heterocycles in a variety of other fields and we wish it well.
This advanced text-cum-reference book presents a comprehensive
account of the syntheses, reactions, properties and applications of
all the most significant classes of heterocyclic compounds. This
second volume in the series is an essential tool not only for
advanced undergraduates and graduates, but also for academic and
industrial researchers in organic, medicinal, pharmaceutical, dye
and agricultural chemistry.

En trois jours, un ancien soldat de la Force Delta essaie de
repousser une attaque devastatrice aux Etats-Unis, tout en
protegeant sa famille. En meme temps, il essaie de s'assurer que la
justice soit servie. Jean Marshall, un veteran des Operations
Speciales devenu travailleur independant, est recueilli par un
helicoptere de la DEA au milieu d'une mission de routine en Chine.
Des son retour a New York, il trouve des etrangers dans son
appartement, et des hommes puissants qui veulent tuer sa famille,
mais ce n?est pas tout. Des amis proches de Marshall, l?Equipe
Sierra de la Force Delta, suivent bientot leur propre chemin pour
arreter une crise globale, alors que la fille de Marshall, Sara, et
son petit ami Jacques Laroche essaient de rester en vie et de
decouvrir les traitres responsables de cette crise. Pendant trois
jours, des loyautes partout seront mises a l'epreuve, de Beijing a
Prague a Washington, D.C., et on ne pourra faire confiance qu'aux
liens du sang.
---------------------------------------------------------- Over the
course of three days, a former Delta Force soldier attempts to
thwart a devastating attack on U.S. soil while protecting his
family and ensuring that justice is served. Jean Marshall, a
Special Forces veteran turned independent contractor, is on a
routine assignment in China when he is picked up by a DEA
helicopter and his mission is aborted. Upon his return to New York,
he finds his home invaded and his family's life in danger, and
that's not the extent of his troubles. Marshall's long-time friends
and operating partners, Delta Force Team Sierra, are soon following
their own path to stop a crisis of global proportions, while
Marshall's daughter, Sara, and her boyfriend, Jacques Laroche,
fight to stay alive and bring the traitors responsible for the
crisis to light. Soon, loyalties all over the world are being
tested, from Beijing to Prague to Washington, and the only ties
that can be trusted are those that are etched in blood.

Foreign Language Guidelines (for English-speaking students of
French): The novel is written in French, however its constructions
are not overly complicated or archaic, and with a good command of
the passe simple, and occasional references to the glossary of
specialized military terms at the back of the book, a non-native
speaker who has completed two to three years of high school French
(or equivalent program of study) should be able to read it
comfortably.
