Descriere: Authored by one of the world's leading synthetic chemists in the field, this reference presents modern enolate chemistry with an emphasis on metal O-enolates in asymmetric synthesis.
While great care is taken to cover novel, successful concepts, such classical methods as the famous Evans enolates are equally highlighted. Throughout the book representative reaction procedures are presented, thus helping readers to find the best solution for their own synthetic problem.
Of high interest to synthetic chemists in academia, as well as the pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and fine chemicals industries.

Edward Humes
Monkey Girl: Evolution, Education, Religion, and the Battle for America's Soul
What should we teach our children about where we come from? Is evolution a lie or good science? Is it incompatible with faith? Have scientists really detected evidence of a creator in nature? From bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edward Humes comes a dramatic story of faith, science, and courage unlike any since the famous Scopes Monkey Trial. Monkey Girl takes you behind the scenes of the recent war on evolution in Dover, Pennsylvania, when the town's school board decision to confront the controversy head-on thrust its students, then the entire community, onto the front lines of America's culture wars. Told from the perspectives of all sides of the battle, it is a riveting true story about an epic court case on the teaching of "intelligent design," and what happens when science and religion collide.
Simon Singh
Big Bang: The Origin of the Universe
A half century ago, a shocking Washington Post headline claimed that the world began in five cataclysmic minutes rather than having existed for all time; a skeptical scientist dubbed the maverick theory the Big Bang. In this amazingly comprehensible history of the universe, Simon Singh decodes the mystery behind the Big Bang theory, lading us through the development of one of the most extraordinary, important, and awe-inspiring theories in science.
