Dear
valued subscriber,
The
goal of scientific research is publication, but good scientists are not
always good writers and even native speakers of English sometimes have
difficulty when they write up their research...

Selected
Topics In The Chemistry of Natural Products
edited by Raphael Ikan (Emeritus Professor, Hebrew
University of Jerusalem, Israel)
This
book covers the following topics of natural products: cannabinoids;
toxic constituents from marine sources; natural sweeteners; generation
of wines; biological markers; pheromones of insects and mammals; pest
management; and secondary natural chemicals formed by microorganisms.
It contains specialized work that describes the chemistry of separate
classes of compounds such as steroids, terpenes, alkaloids, sugars,
carotenoids, fatty acids and so on. It also includes data on compounds
isolated from various classes of organisms such as lichens, bacteria
and fungi, which are usually treated in special monographs. The topics
in this book are unlikely to be found in general chemistry courses.

Hindsight and
Popular Astronomy ![]()
by Alan B Whiting (University of Birmingham, UK)
Whiting
attempts to break away from the norm in this revolutionary review of
popular astronomy books written from 1833 to 1944. He examines these
important works by acknowledged authorities in the field to see how
they have stood the test of time. Where the luminaries have failed, he
looks for clues that the layman reader could have used to raise doubts
about what was being said. The aim of this highly accessible book is to
develop tools for the non-scientist to evaluate the strange and
marvelous results that astronomers report, in place of the
highly-developed scientific and mathematical techniques available to
the scientists themselves. A must-read for all science and astronomy
enthusiasts.
Neurology
of Music ![]()
edited by F Clifford Rose (Imperial College School of
Medicine, UK)
The
first British book on neurology in music was published over 30 years
ago. Edited by Drs Macdonald Critchley and R A Henson, it was entitled
Music and the Brain (published by Wm Heinemann Medical Books), but all
of its contributors are now either retired or deceased. Since then,
there has been an increasing amount of research, and the present volume
includes the most significant of these advances.
![]() The Nobel
Banquets
A Century of Culinary History (1901-2001)
by Ulrica Soderlind (Stockholm University, Sweden)
Translated from the Swedish by Michael Knight
The
Nobel Banquets is not about Alfred Nobel's personal dining habits; it
is about his "gift to mankind" — the five original Nobel Prizes and the
festivities that are arranged every year to celebrate them...

![]() Nobel Prizes
And Life Sciences
by Erling Norrby (The Royal Swedish Academy of
Sciences, Sweden)
The
Nobel Prizes in natural sciences have developed to become a unique
measure of scientific excellence. Using archival documents, which have
been released (50 years secrecy) for scholarly work, the author
expertly traces the strengths and weaknesses of the Nobel system as
exemplified by individual prizes. Surveys of the more than 100 years
that the Prizes have been awarded are also presented.
![]() Energy,
The Environment And Climate Change
by Peter E Hodgson (University of Oxford, UK)
This
book is a comprehensive account of all significant energy sources,
evaluated according to their capacity, reliability, cost, safety and
effects on the environment. Non-renewable sources (for example, coal,
oil, gas and nuclear fuel) together with renewable sources like wood,
hydro, biomass, wind, solar, geothermal, ocean thermal, and tidal; are
considered. Also, nuclear radiations and the disposal of nuclear waste
and the future of nuclear power are assessed, as well as pollution and
acid rain, the greenhouse effects and climate change. Its social,
political and moral problems are discussed, with a special mention of
the opposition to nuclear power.
