Spectroscopy in Biochemistry Volume II This book has been written in part with the aim of providing a text which will be useful in teaching the biochemical applications of spectroscopy. This book will be of particular use to the biochemist or biologist who does not have a background in spectroscopy but desires to find out what sort of information spectroscopy can provide. Attention was limited to those techniques most frequently used and which at present have the widest applications. | Spectroscopy in Biochemistry Volume II GBP 205.00 1
The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Evidence What one can know depends on one’s evidence. Good scientific theories are supported by evidence. Our experiences provide us with evidence. Any sort of inquiry involves the seeking of evidence. It is irrational to believe contrary to your evidence. For these reasons and more evidence is one of the most fundamental notions in the field of epistemology and is emerging as a crucial topic across academic disciplines. The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Evidence is an outstanding reference source to the key topics problems and debates in this exciting subject and is the first major volume of its kind. Comprising forty chapters by an international team of contributors the handbook is divided into six clear parts: The Nature of Evidence Evidence and Probability The Social Epistemology of Evidence Sources of Evidence Evidence and Justification Evidence in the Disciplines The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Evidence is essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy of science and epistemology and will also be of interest to those in related disciplines across the humanities and social sciences such as law religion and history.

CRC World Dictionary of Palms Common Names Scientific Names Eponyms Synonyms and Etymology (2 Volume Set) From the ForewordUmberto Quattrocchi has brought us some amazing and useful works through the various dictionaries that he has compiled. This time it is for two very important plant families the palms and the cycads that are synthesized here in these two volumes. Each entry is fascinating not just for the botany and full nomenclature of the plant species but for all the associated uses folklore and interactions with other organisms. . These entries are fascinating glimpses of natural history. . Botanists conservationists ethnobotanists anthropologists geographers bird watchers naturalists historians and those of many other disciplines will find these volumes a most valuable and useful resource. It is the sort of book that will be in frequent use in my library. - Professor Sir Ghillean Prance FRS VMH Former Director Royal Botanic Gardens Kew Following the same format as Umberto Quattrocchi’s highly praised and well-used previous works The CRC World Dictionary of Palms: Common Names Scientific Names Eponyms Synonyms and Etymology brings together the vast and scattered literature on palms and cycads to provide better access to information on these economically important plants. Each genus and species has a detailed morphological description and includes a list of synonyms and vernacular names in many languages. Bibliographies accompany each entry which are comprehensive up-to-date and multi-lingual. The detailed information for every entry on habitats economic uses historical and biographical data botanical exploration and linguistics will be useful for any library involved with botany herbal medicine pharmacognosy medicinal and natural product chemistry ecology ethnobotany systematics general plant science agriculture or horticulture. Umberto Quattrocchi is the author of the bestselling CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names winner of the prestigious Hanbury Botanical Garden Award. His most recent multi-volume work CRC World Dictionary of Medicinal and Poisonous Plants received strong praise as being . an unparalleled starting place—a tool of first resort for any thoughtful researcher. Quattrocchi and CRC have delivered a dictionary like no other a learned finger pointing in the right direction. —John de la Parra Northeastern University Boston Massachusetts USA from Economic Botany Vol. 68 2014 | CRC World Dictionary of Palms Common Names Scientific Names Eponyms Synonyms and Etymology (2 Volume Set) GBP 300.00 1
Handbook of Superconductivity Fundamentals and Materials Volume One This is the first of three volumes of the extensively revised and updated second edition of the Handbook of Superconductivity. The past twenty years have seen rapid progress in superconducting materials which exhibit one of the most remarkable physical states of matter ever to be discovered. Superconductivity brings quantum mechanics to the scale of the everyday world where a single coherent quantum state may extend over a distance of metres or even kilometres depending on the size of a coil or length of superconducting wire. Viable applications of superconductors rely fundamentally on an understanding of this intriguing phenomena and the availability of a range of materials with bespoke properties to meet practical needs. This first volume covers the fundamentals of superconductivity and the various classes of superconducting materials which sets the context and background for Volumes 2 and 3. Key Features: Covers the depth and breadth of the field Includes contributions from leading academics and industry professionals across the world Provides hands-on guidance to the manufacturing and processing technologies A comprehensive reference this handbook is suitable for both graduate students and practitioners in experimental physics materials science and multiple engineering disciplines including electronic and electrical chemical mechanical metallurgy and others. | Handbook of Superconductivity Fundamentals and Materials Volume One GBP 240.00 1
