This innovative text explains difficult concepts in a relevant, student-oriented manner. Chemistry is presented visually through multi-level images—macroscopic, molecular and symbolic representations—helping you see the connections among the formulas (symbolic), the world around you (macroscopic), and the atoms and molecules that make up the world (molecular). Among other revisions, the Second Edition offers a crisp […]
Pathophysiology incorporates basic, translational, and clinical research to advance understandings of disease and dysfunction. The study of pathophysiology involves many biomedical sciences and a wide range of research activities. Multiple aspects of cellular physiology are progressing rapidly, generating vast amounts of data to understand. The information expansion involves a greater understanding of the behavior of […]

The science of clinical laboratory hematology provides for the analysis of normal and pathologic peripheral blood cells, hematopoietic (blood-producing) tissue, and the cells in non-vascular body cavities such as cerebrospinal and serous fluids. Laboratory hematology also includes the analysis of the cells and coagulation proteins essential to clinical hemostasis. Hematology laboratory assay results are critical […]
What is the incentive for writing a book on ‘‘Asymmetric Organocatalysis’’? Why should chemists involved in organic synthesis know about the current state and future perspectives of ‘‘Asymmetric Organocatalysis’’? First of all, efficient catalytic processes lie at the heart of the atom-economic production of enantiomerically pure substances, and the latter are of ever increasing importance […]
Most people have heard about quantum physics and its remarkable, well-nigh bizarre claims. One effect of these claims is to suggest that quantum reality is a world apart from everyday experience, that the two realities are discontinuous. In this book I dispute this outlook by showing that variations of quantum puzzles have long been part […]
Introduction Welcome to the incredibly interesting world of local area networks and premises data communications cabling systems.
