The more than 50 articles, essays, and reviews collected here for the first time were published by James over a span of some 25 years. The record of a sustained interest in phenomena of a highly controversial nature, they make it amply clear that James's work in psychical research was not an eccentric hobby but a serious and sympathetic concern.
Charlie and his grandmother's assistant, Kristine, stand to inherit ten million dollars. The rub is that the old lady stipulated a condition in the will they must marry and remain faithful to each other for one year. Havoc arises when Kris's boyfriend, a man with more muscle than brain, blunders in and Charlie ends up impersonating an Italian speaking gardener instead of a groom. While the battle axe maid and Charlie's greedy sister plot revenge for being cut out of the will, Charlie's lover arrives in a panic and demands to know why Charlie stood him up. Confusion, misinterpretations, hilarious antics and false identities abound, all under the watchful eye of a strict lawyer and his accident prone nephew. Slapstick comedy at its best, this brilliant entanglement of love, greed and lust will make you laugh till you cry.
Ruthenium Oxidation Complexes explores ruthenium complexes, particularly those in higher oxidation states, which function as useful and selective organic oxidation catalysts. Particular emphasis is placed on those systems which are of industrial significance. The preparation, properties and applications of the ruthenium complexes are described, followed by a presentation of their oxidative properties and summary of the different mechanisms involved in the organic oxidations (e.g. oxidations of alcohols, alkenes, arenes and alkynes, alkanes, amines, ethers, phopshines and miscellaneous substrates). Moreover, future trends and developments in the area are discussed. This monograph is aimed at inorganic, organic, industrial and catalysis chemists, especially those who wish to carry out specific organic oxidations using catalytic methods.
