This text for undergraduates in chemistry and related disciplines explores organic chemistry as a dynamic and ever-expanding area of science. Fundamental to the approach taken in this book is the fact that organic chemistry has an underlying rationale, namely the mechanistic themes that unify the discipline. With its phenomenal full-colour art programme, the second edition of this text makes scientific exploration exciting for students. Features: * The book's full-colour art program lends to an extraordinary visual impact--it includes over 250 pieces of art created exclusively for the text, as well as a collection of 46 stereoviews and exceptional photographs. * Chemistry in Action Boxes illustrate applications of organic chemistry to everyday settings. * An abundance of in-chapter examples, each with a detailed solution and followed by a problem, gives students the opportunity to explore the material more fully and to test their knowledge. * End-of-chapter problems are categorised by topic and the more challenging ones are indicated in a different colour. End-of-chapter summaries highlight all important new terms found in each chapter. Key reactions are annotated and keyed to the section where they are discussed. * Interviews done with prominent scientists invite students to pursue similar interests in the sciences. New to this edition: * The number of worked out in-chapter examples and the number of end-of-chapter problems have been increased by approximately 40%. The text now contains approximately 240 solved in-chapter examples and over 1,200 end-of-chapter additional problems. * Mechanisms, key elements in the organisation of information, are now set apart and highlighted by a special design feature. All steps in a particular mechanism are presented together in its box. A list of the 101 mechanisms highlighted in the text can be found following the preface. * Stereochemistry has been moved forward to Chapter 4, immediately following the introduction to the structure of organic compounds and the treatment of acid-base chemistry, and immediately before the chemistry of alkenes. * Given the importance of carbonyl chemistry for organic synthesis and to those students engaged in study in the health and biological sciences, these chapters were moved forward to become Chapters 15 and 18. * Two new chapters--Chapter 23 (Organic Polymer Chemistry) presents a systematic introduction to organic polymer chemistry. Chapter 26 presents the organic chemistry of two key metabolic pathways, namely glycolysis and B-oxidation of fatty acids.

Along with working from the model the figure-drawing student needs instruction in anatomy, history, and conceptual approaches -- instruction often missing from life drawing classes due to time constraints. This text offers these, along with a visual reminder of studio practice. The chapters follow the natural development of a student's growth, from gesture drawing to personal exploration. An entire chapter on drawing the figure in perspective offers information unavailable in comparable texts. Asking the student to begin with quick sketches and gesture drawings establishes their significance in professional work, while giving students a non-threatening introduction on a level they can understand and master. Cohesive presentation of anatomy, including a chapter on the human head, helps students understand underlying structure of bones, muscle, and body fat. Larger images throughout promote clearer understanding of concepts. A completely new section on color media provides up-to-date valuable information. Anatomy of the limbs has been reorganized for clarity.

With a design inviting to today's students, this full-color concise book emphasizes Chinese cultural history while also covering political and economic history. Highlighting key topics with 89 illustrations, including maps, timelines, and other photos, this text provides brief, yet complete coverage of each major Chinese dynasty. To round off the book, additional discrete periods are examined in a separate chapter. New co-author, Miranda Brown covers the first three chapters, "China in Antiquity," "Turbulent Times in Classical Thought," and "The Early Imperial Period," while Conrad Schirokauer writes the balance of the text. This text also addresses recent developments in China, up to and including the massacre at Tiananmen Square, Foreign Relations and Hong Kong and Intellectuals and Artists in the Nineties and Into the New Century.

Houghton/Mifflin

This full-color introductory text emphasizes cultural history while also covering political and economic history. Each major Chinese dynasty, Japanese Shogunate, or other discrete period is covered in a separate, brief chapter. Encounters with the West (beginning in the 16th century) are also extensively covered. In addition to Conrad Schirokauer, this text has three new co-authors. Miranda Brown teaches in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and focuses on early Chinese culture. David Lurie researches the history of writing systems in Japan and also works on the cultural and intellectual history of Japan through the Heian period. Suzanne Gay is Professor of East Asian Studies at Oberlin College. Her research interests include the social and economic history of medieval Japan, with a particular emphasis on the role of commoners in history. This author team combines strong research with extensive classroom teaching experience to offer a clear, consistent, and highly readable text accessible to students with no previous knowledge of the history of China or Japan.
