Asymmetric synthesis has become a major aspect of modern organic chemistry. The importance of stereochemical purity in pharmaceutical products has been one driving force in the quest for improved control over the streochemical outcome of organic reactions. Asymmetric catalysis is an important aspect of asymmetric synthesis, and one that has seen tremendous activity over the past decade. This book is planned from the point of view of the synthetic organic chemist, i.e. by transformation rather than on the basis of the organometallic chemistry. The emphasis is on non-enzymatic methods of asymmetric catalysis, although key reference to enzyme-catalyzed reactions have been incorporated where appropriate. 
The book is extensively referenced and therefore provides a convenient point of entry to the primary literature.

This spine-tingling title and the "King of Cool's" intense headshot telegraph the excitement to be found under the book cover. Keyser's observant and engaging storytelling weaves together screen legend Steve McQueen's rugged, individualistic life, his love affairs with motorcycles, cars, racing, partying and women, along with a story of exceptional filmmaking, including the breakthrough, Oscar-winning cinematographic techniques used to capture the visceral essence of racing's most famous event for the silver screen. 
Throughout 464 highly charged pages, "A French Kiss with Death" dazzles the reader with the "King of Cool's" roller-coaster life of adventure and accomplishment. The book contains more than 725 photographs and illustrations, most seen for the first time and many shot during the actual "24 Hours of Le Mans." Providing an unforgettable ride, "A French Kiss with Death" pulls readers rapidly into the exotic, heady, cutthroat world of international sports car racing. Keyser's longtime friend and ex-racer Jonathan Williams also contributed to the book.

Authors Arthur Laffer, Stephen Moore and Jonathan Williams provide an in-depth analysis of policies, some of which foster economic growth and prosperity in states like Utah, Arizona and Texas, others of which cause economic malaise in states like California, New York and Michigan.  The 2009 ALEC-Laffer State Economic Competitiveness Index offers two rankings. The first, the Economic Performance Rank, is a historical measure based on a state s performance on three important variables: Personal Income Per Capita, Absolute Domestic Migration, and Non-farm Payroll Employment all of which are highly influenced by state policy. This ranking details states individual performances over the past 10 years based on this economic data.  The second measure, the Economic Outlook Rank, is a forecast based on a state s current standing in 15 state-policy variables. Each of these factors is influenced directly by state lawmakers through the legislative process. Generally speaking, states that spend less especially on income-transfer programs and states that tax less particularly on productive activities such as working or investing experience higher growth rates than states which tax and spend more.

The third edition of Rich States, Poor States: ALEC-Laffer State Economic Competitiveness Index shows how out-of-control spending and higher taxes by states, is harming their economies and leading to an exodus of their residents.
