Designated 'Molecule of the Year' in 1992 in recognition of its many biological roles, nitric oxide has wide significance in the world around us and the story of nitric oxide is still unfolding. This small and seemingly innocent molecule has for many years been known to play a significant role in both the creation of photochemical smogs and in the nitrogen cycle. It has an interesting chemistry as a metal ligand, and the bonding within the nitric oxide molecule has been extensively studied. More recently, the molecule has been in the spotlight for the role it plays in controlling blood flow, in the immune system and in brain activity. Life, Death and Nitric Oxide covers many of the topics relating to nitric oxide, from smog and catalytic converters to tumour growth, blood flow and Viagra, with the aim of finding out why such a simple molecule can do so much.

Offbeat Landmarks

Exploring Around Stavanger

By: Rosslyn Nicholson

This book is not a guide book. These already exist, and there seems little reason to add another book describing the most popular local sites to the pile. Instead, it's a collection of curiosities and oddities. It visits places that tourists don't often see, or looks at familiar sites with a new slant. Stavanger is a town rich in history, and traces of events long past are here for us to see today. There is so much here in Stavanger that this little collection is not even close to being a comprehensive history or geography of the region: those may be found in the local library. The chapters in the book describe things that I noticed. A different person would have noticed different things, and written a different book entirely. That is really the point of the book: I hope that in finding out about some of my favorite places and stories, readers will be inspired to explore for themselves. There are suggestions for excursions within each section. I have tried to avoid paid-for attractions as these tend to be well advertised and easier to find, although several of the local museums are included. It is my hope that these will act as a starting point for many more excursions, leaving the best question of all: what will you discover?
