Experts in the field can have a pleasurable time cruising through captivating synthesis methods, which enable the generation of complex molecules on industrial scale.This book · deals with the manufacturing of larger quantities of complex molecules (asymmetric and heterocyclic compounds, polycyclic structures, macrocycles and small rings) · displays all reaction schemes in colour, which makes them easy to read · highlights aesthetics and elegance in modern industrial organic chemistry
 Luz Mar González-Arias, "National Identities and Imperfections in Contemporary Irish Literature: Unbecoming Irishness" English | 2017 | pages: 256 | ISBN: 113747629X | PDF | 2,2 mb This book is about the role that the imperfect, the disquieting and the dystopian are currently playing in the construction of Irish identities. All the essays assess identity issues that require urgent examination, problematize canonical definitions of Irishness and, above all, look at the ways in which the artistic output of the country has been altered by the Celtic Tiger phenomenon and its subsequent demise. Recent narrative from Ireland, principally published in the twenty-first century and/or at the end of the 1990s, is dealt with extensively. The authors examined include Eavan Boland, Mary Rose Callaghan, Peter Cunningham, Emma Donoghue, Anne Enright, Emer Martin, Lia Mills, Paul Muldoon, Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, Bernard O'Donoghue, Peter Sirr and David Wheatley.  Rachael Dwyer, Ian Davis, elke emerald, "Narrative Research in Practice: Stories from the Field" English | 2016 | pages: 257 | ISBN: 9811015775 | PDF | 4,4 mb This book directly addresses the multiplicity and complexity of narrative research by illustrating a variety of avenues to pursuing and publishing research that falls under the umbrella of narrative work. The chapters are drawn from a wide range of disciplines including education, literary studies, cultural studies, music and clinical studies. Each chapter considers a particular methodological issue or approach, illustrating how it was addressed in the course of the research. Each of the chapters concludes with a set of discussion exercises and a further reading list. The book offers a valuable resource for established researchers seeking to expand their methodological and theoretical repertoire, and for graduate students and researchers new to narrative methods.
 Yun-Kyung Cha, Jagdish Gundara, Seung-Hwan Ham, "Multicultural Education in Glocal Perspectives: Policy and Institutionalization" English | 2016 | pages: 219 | ISBN: 9811022208 | PDF | 3,1 mb This conceptually rich and empirically grounded book draws upon expertise from a panel of emerging and established international scholars to explore the institutionalization and effect of multicultural education on a global scale. Previous studies of multicultural education have largely ignored the significance of understanding the combination of multiple sociopolitical influences on multicultural education in both policy and practice. Filling this void, this book sheds light on the two main reasons for taking a "glocal" perspective on multicultural education. First, children should be provided with meaningful learning opportunities to acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to live in a culturally and ethno-linguistically diverse society, where the distinction between the local and the global is becoming blurred. Second, understanding both the "global grammar" and the "local semantics" of multicultural education helps researchers and policy-makers grasp the whole picture of multicultural education as an evolving social construct and phenomenon. This new book provokes a new round of discussion and research to expand and enrich our inquiry into cultural diversity and educational inclusion.

It provides a snapshot of recent work within the geographies of children and young people which has engaged with emerging conceptualisations of mobility and immobility, and builds on existing scholarship on migration, movement and settlement.  Money Awards in Contract Law By David Winterton 2015 | 368 Pages | ISBN: 184946457X | PDF | 2 MB The quantification of money awards for breach of contract is a topic of both significant theoretical interest and immense practical importance. In the UK, recent debates have ranged from the availability of gain-based awards to the theoretical basis for principles of remoteness and mitigation. While these and other important issues - such as the recovery of compensation for non-pecuniary loss - are touched upon in this book, the principal objective is to challenge the orthodox understanding of the expectation principle, as famously laid down by Parke B in England's historic Robinson v Harman. According to this understanding, the usual objective of money awards for breach of contract is to compensate for 'loss' suffered, by reference to the position that the innocent party would have occupied had the contract been performed. After challenging this orthodoxy, the book proposes a new account of the money awards provided, in response to breach of contract which draws an important distinction between substitutionary and compensatory awards. The book provides a coherent picture of contractual rights and remedies and will be of interest to judges, practitioners, and academics alike.

Modeling Count Data By Joseph M. Hilbe 2014 | 299 Pages | ISBN: 1107611253 | PDF | 2 MB This entry-level text offers clear and concise guidelines on how to select, construct, interpret, and evaluate count data. Written for researchers with little or no background in advanced statistics, the book presents treatments of all major models using numerous tables, insets, and detailed modeling suggestions. It begins by demonstrating the fundamentals of modeling count data, including a thorough presentation of the Poisson model. It then works up to an analysis of the problem of overdispersion and of the negative binomial model, and finally to the many variations that can be made to the base count models. Examples in Stata, R, and SAS code enable readers to adapt models for their own purposes, making the text an ideal resource for researchers working in health, ecology, econometrics, transportation, and other fields. |
