Volume 1. Conversations with Hyaluronan Scientists (Hyaluronan: From Basic Science to Clinical Applications) In 1985, a series of international meetings called "Conversations on Hyaluronan" was initiated. The discussions at these meetings were about plans to support and encourage basic research and the biomedical development of hyaluronan. The first direct result of these conversations was the founding of the International Society for Hyaluronan Sciences (ISHAS) in 2005. These books are the second accomplishment originating from these meetings. Hyaluronan has become a major interest in modern medicine, especially in ophthalmic surgery and in the treatment of osteoarthritis. By introducing the scientists working with this versatile molecule, the hope is to spread the word about its potential and promises in the biomedical sciences. Volume 1, as the beginning of the series, initiates a major effort to review in an encyclopedic style our knowledge of this molecule in all aspects of scientific and technological developments. This first volume introduces some of the key players in this field. It is important to note that this volume presents not only the interviews, but also a brief summary of the progress made in this field by these scientists and their coworkers.

Moscow is the center of science and higher education of Russia and is also an international hub of science. There have been milestone achievements of science in Russia (and the Soviet Union), especially in the areas of physics, chemistry, mathematics, the conquest of space, various technologies and medicine. However, the scientists and inventors often created in isolation and have become less known than their discoveries would justify. At the same time, there is no other city in the world that has so many memorials honoring scientists as Moscow. There is a caveat in that political considerations have often influenced who was remembered and who was not. This book presents statues, memorial plaques, and historical buildings. Not only celebrated excellences are mentioned, but also some of the greats that perished during the years of terror. The book is full of human drama and 750 photos illustrate the narrative. Science in Moscow follows Budapest Scientific and New York Scientific and is the third in the series about memorials of scientists in great cities of the world.

Symmetry is as simple or as complicated as we are ready to absorb it in everything around us. From flowers to bridges, buildings, coke machines, and snowflakes; from molecules to walnuts, fences, pine cones, and sunflowers; from music to children's drawings; from hubcaps to bank logos, propellers, wallpaper decorations, and pavements, we recognize it if we walk around with open eyes and an open mind. This book provides aesthetic pleasure and covert education, immersing the reader in both the familiar and the unknown and leading always to unexpected discoveries.The authors, world-renowned scientists, have already produced a dozen books on symmetry for professionals as well as lay persons, for grownups as well as children, in English, Russian, German, Hungarian, and Swedish languages. They provide this attractive account of symmetry in few words and many -- as many as 650 -- images in full color from the most diverse corners of our globe. An encounter with this book will open up a whole new experience for the reader, who will never look at the world with the same eyes as before.
