Rough Guide to Vienna is the best guide there is to one of Europe's most elegant and civilised capital cities. Inspirational photography, neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood accounts and detailed, fantastically well-drawn, up-to-date maps help you get the most out of a visit to Vienna - from the city's world-class art galleries and museums to its Art Nouveau and Modernist architecture. Get off the well-beaten track and explore the narrow, cobbled backstreets of the Innere Stadt or the lively cafés and bars of the Naschmarkt area.Learn all about the city's fascinating and rich history presented in a truly accessible way. Frank, incisive reviews take you straight to the best of the city's coffee houses, restaurants and nightlife venues, from the minimalist to the magnificently traditional, while tell-it-like-it-is listings help you find the right accommodation for your budget, whether that's a boutique design hotel off Karlsplatz, a grand classic on the Ringstrasse, or just a perfect budget hideaway. Rough Guide to Vienna is the perfect companion for a weekend away or a longer city break.

The Fault in Our SARS

COVID-19 in the Biden Era

By: Rob Wallace

Proposes the pragmatic changes we must make to survive COVID and the worst of the new diseases on the horizon The Trump administration’s neglect and incompetence helped put half-a-million Americans in the ground, dead from COVID-19. Joe Biden was elected president in part on the promise of setting us on a science-driven course correction, but, a little more than a year later, another half-a-million Americans were killed by the virus. What happened? In The Fault in Our SARS, evolutionary epidemiologist Rob Wallace catalogs the Biden administration's failures in controlling the outbreak. He also shows that, beyond matters of specific political persona or party, it was a decades-long structural decline associated with putting profits ahead of people that gutted U.S. public health. COVID-19 isn’t just an American tragedy. Each in its own way, countries around the world following the "profit-first" model failed their people. Global vaccination campaigns were bottled up by efforts to protect pharmaceutical companies' intellectual property rights. Economies were treated as somehow more real than the people and ecologies upon which they depend. Frustrated populations pushed back against lockdowns, abuses of governmental trust, and, fair or not, the very concept of public health. A social rot meanwhile wended its way into the heart of the sciences that, tasked with controlling disease, serve the systems that helped bring about COVID-19 in the first place. In The Fault in Our SARS, Wallace and an array of invited contributors aim to strip down the capitalist social psychology that in effect protected the SARS virus. The team proposes instead new approaches in health and ecology that appeal both to humanity's highest ideals and the pragmatic changes we must make to survive COVID and the worst of the new diseases on the horizon.

Homogeneous Catalysts

Activity - Stability - Deactivation

This first book to illuminate this important aspect of chemical synthesis improves the lifetime of catalysts, thus reducing material and saving energy, costs and waste. The international panel of expert authors describes the studies that have been conducted concerning the way homogeneous catalysts decompose, and the differences between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. The result is a ready reference for organic, catalytic, polymer and complex chemists, as well as those working in industry and with/on organometallics.
