Advanced Inorganic Chemistry

By: F. Albert Cotton,Geoffrey Wilkinson,Carlos A. Murillo,Manfred Bochmann

For more than a quarter century, Cotton and Wilkinson's Advanced Inorganic Chemistry has been the source that students and professional chemists have turned to for the background needed to understand current research literature in inorganic chemistry and aspects of organometallic chemistry. Like its predecessors, this updated Sixth Edition is organized around the periodic table of elements and provides a systematic treatment of the chemistry of all chemical elements and their compounds. It incorporates important recent developments with an emphasis on advances in the interpretation of structure, bonding, and reactivity.“/p> From the reviews of the Fifth Edition: "The first place to go when seeking general information about the chemistry of a particular element, especially when up-to-date, authoritative information is desired." —Journal of the American Chemical Society "Every student with a serious interest in inorganic chemistry should have [this book]." —Journal of Chemical Education "A mine of information . . . an invaluable guide." —Nature "The standard by which all other inorganic chemistry books are judged." —Nouveau Journal de Chimie "A masterly overview of the chemistry of the elements." —The Times of London Higher Education Supplement "A bonanza of information on important results and developments which could otherwise easily be overlooked in the general deluge of publications." —Angewandte Chemie

Imaginations: Kora in Hell / Spring and All / The Descent of Winter / The Great American Novel / A Novelette & Other Prose

By: William Carlos Williams

Imaginations makes accessible to the broad reading public live early books by William Carlos Williams, which, except for Kora in Hell, have long been hard to find in their original and complete forms. Written between 1920 and 1932, all five were first published in small editions, three of them in France. These are pivotal and seminal works, books in which a great writer was charting the course he later would follow, experimenting freely, boldly searching for a new kind of prose style to express "the power of the imagination to hold human beings to life and propel them onward.” The prose-poem improvisations (Kora in Hell) . . . the interweaving of prose and poetry in alternating passages (Spring and All and The Descent of Winter) . . . an antinovel whose subject is the impossibility of writing "The Great American Novel" in America . . . automatic writing (A Novelette) . . . these are the challenges which Williams accepted and brilliantly met in his early work.

Waiting For Snow In Havana

By: Carlos Eire

A childhood in a privileged household in 1950s Havana was joyous and cruel, like any other-but with certain differences. The neighbour's monkey was liable to escape and run across your roof. Surfing was conducted by driving cars across the breakwater. Lizards and firecrackers made frequent contact. Carlos Eire's childhood was a little different from most. His father was convinced he had been Louis XVI in a past life. At school, classmates with fathers in the Batista government were attended by chauffeurs and bodyguards. At a home crammed with artifacts and paintings, portraits of Jesus spoke to him in dreams and nightmares. Then, in January 1959, the world changes: Batista is suddenly gone, a cigar-smoking guerrilla has taken his place, and Christmas is cancelled. The echo of firing squads is everywhere. And, one by one, the author's schoolmates begin to disappear-spirited away to the United States. Carlos will end up there himself, without his parents, never to see his father again. Narrated with the urgency of a confession, WAITING FOR SNOW IN HAVANA is both an ode to a paradise lost and an exorcism. More than that, it captures the terrible beauty of those times in our lives when we are certain we have died-and then are somehow, miraculously, reborn.

Mathematical Models in Population Biology and Epidemiology

By: Fred Brauer,Carlos Castillo-Chavez

The goal of this book is to search for a balance between simple and analyzable models and unsolvable models which are capable of addressing important questions on population biology. Part I focusses on single species simple models including those which have been used to predict the growth of human and animal population in the past. Single population models are, in some sense, the building blocks of more realistic models -- the subject of Part II. Their role is fundamental to the study of ecological and demographic processes including the role of population structure and spatial heterogeneity -- the subject of Part III. This book, which will include both examples and exercises, is of use to practitioners, graduate students, and scientists working in the field.

Consolação

By: Carlos Messias

O romance Consolação narra a aventura (e as desventuras) de Marco Camargo, jornalista que, em vias de completar 30 anos, toma um pé na bunda na mesma época em que uma demissão em massa atinge a redação onde trabalha. Ao descobrir que sua ex, por quem nutre um sentimento de posse, já arrumou outro, o protagonista se lança ao seguinte desafio: levar cem mulheres para a cama. O narrador se muda com seu cachorro para o bairro paulistano Consolação e, literalmente da noite para o dia, passa a viver uma rotina frenética de sexo, drogas e rock'n'roll. Tal qual um Forrest Gump degenerado, o personagem atravessa os principais acontecimentos do Brasil — da crise no jornalismo à popularização do Tinder, de junho de 2013 à Copa do Mundo —, sempre atrás de um novorabo de saia para sua lista.Com ritmo acelerado, abordagem naturalista e influência da linguagem do cinema, da internet e da música pop, a narrativa expõe a liquidez e o automatismo dos relacionamentos na era digital, ao mesmo tempo em que serve como prelúdio para a crise política e ideológica no país. O tom canastrão e o léxico sexista do narrador acabam por revelar as contradições identitárias e as fragilidades associativas que se escondem sob a masculinidade tóxica. Ao mesmo tempo, ao capturar, de forma alegórica, a onda hipster, o livro se coloca como registro geracional dos primeiros millennials a atingirem 30 anos. TEXTO DA CONTRACAPA "Depois de se separar, o jornalista Marco Camargo resolve tirar o atraso, propondo-se a cair na noite e levar cem mulheres para a cama. O que pode parecer uma premissa vazia revela-se uma forma corajosa e bem-humorada de abordar a crise do macho contemporâneo. Afinal, ao acordar solteiro, Marco descobre que, para lá da porta do seu apê, o mundo não é mais o mesmo. As mulheres mudaram e a forma de interagir com elas também. Numa era digital e avessa a ranços machistas, Marco tenta sobreviver e (por que não?) se dar bem, pulando de um par de seios para outro, às vezes anestesiando-se com drogas, bebida e música pop, às vezes fantasiando um curioso seminário sobre como conquistar qualquer mulher. O nome Consolação refere-se ao bairro em gentrificação que se transforma junto com o personagem, mas também poderia aludir ao resquício deixado pela narrativa: num universo de relações cada vez mais supérfluas, o sexo casual pode não salvar ninguém, mas pelo menos serve como algum consolo", Giovana Madalosso.
