A Court of Specialists

Judicial Behavior on the UK Supreme Court

By: Chris Hanretty

This book offers the first quantitative study of decision-making on the UK Supreme Court. Covering the court's first ten years, it examines all stages of the court's decision-making process--from permission to appeal to the decision on the final outcome. The main argument of the book is that judges' behavior is strongly affected by their specialism in different areas of law, and that the best way of understanding the UK Supreme Court is therefore to see it as a court of specialists.

Best Synthetic Methods

Organophosphorus (V) Chemistry

By: Chris Timperley

Best Synthetic Methods: Organophosphorus (V) Chemistry provides systematic coverage of the most common classes of pentavalent organophosphorus compounds and reagents (including phosphonyl, phosphoryl, and organophosphates), and allows researchers an easy point of entry into this complex and economically important field. The book follows the Best Synthetic Methods format, containing practical methods, synthetic tips, and shortcuts. Where relevant, articles include toxicity data and historical context for the reactions. Typical analytical and spectroscopic data are also presented to enable scientists to identify key compound characteristics. The book is a valuable companion to research chemists in both academia and industry, summarizing the best practical methods (often originating in difficult-to-access, foreign-language primary literature) in one place. It is ideally suited for those working on industrial applications of these compounds, including insecticides, herbicides, flame retardants, and plasticizers. - Includes a mixture of tried and tested, historical methods that are proven to work, alongside new methods to provide scientists with a quick, time-saving resource of reliable methods - Includes tips and tricks to get reactions to work; important information often missing from other sources - Includes key analytical data for compounds, so scientists have one handy resource to select, perform, and analyze the best reaction
