Brain alert.......2000-10-18

This is an excellent question bank for step 2 which guided me for my step 2 preparation. According to me ...practice as many question as you can for step 2 to make your brain alert....the basic neccesity before the examination. I am sure the book will be a boon for Step 2 candidates.

Book Description

Neither the formation process of "The First Stars" nor their existence in the present universe is known with any certainty. The authors of this volume address all open questions presenting an abundance of interesting data at the same time as giving a relatively exhaustive overview of our present-day knowledge. This covers research from spectroscopic observations, stellar evolutions, nucleosynthesis, structure and galaxy formation. The contributions shed new light on past views, often questioning traditional interpretations. Dealing with problems at the crossroads of cosmology, star formation and chemical evolution in stars, the book addresses astrophysicists and researchers, as well as graduate students. However, it should also be of interest to nuclear physicists and astrochemists.

Book Description

The Chemistry of the Superheavy Elements provides a complete coverage of the chemistry of a series of elements beginning with atomic number 104 – the transactinide or superheavy elements – including their production in nuclear reactions at heavy-ion accelerators. The contributors to this work include many renowned scientists who, during the last decade, have made vast contributions towards understanding the chemistry of these elusive elements, both experimentally and theoretically. The main emphasis here is on demonstrating the fascinating studies involved in probing the architecture of the periodic table at its uppermost end, where relativistic effects drastically influence chemical properties. All known chemical properties of these elements are described together with the experimental techniques applied to study these short-lived man-made elements one atom at a time. The status of theoretical chemistry and of empirical models is presented as well as aspects of nuclear physics. In addtition, one chapter outlines the meanderings in this field from a historical perspective. This book is a complete and up-to-date source for advanced chemistry students as well as for those who teach chemistry involving the superheavy elements.

Book Description

In the early nineteenth century chemists knew of the existence of ninety-two chemical elements, from Hydrogen to Uranium. For nearly forty years scientists thought they knew the content of our planet and all of its contents. In the late 1930s the world of chemical science began to discover elements beyond Uranium - the 'transuranics'. These new, super-heavy elements are probably not found in nature at all but can be detected, if only for a few fractions of a second, in precisely designed experiments using powerful nuclear tools. On Beyond Uranium: Journey to the End of the Periodic Table is full of exciting new concepts and tells the story of the author's quest to discover elements never before known to man.

Book Description

Quantum mechanics provides the fundamental theoretical apparatus for describing the structure and properties of atoms and molecules in terms of the behaviour of their fundamental components, electrons and nuclei. For heavy atoms and molecules containing them, the electrons can move at speeds which represent a substantial fraction of the speed of light, and thus relativity must be taken into account. Relativistic quantum mechanics therefore provides the basic formalism for calculating the properties of heavy-atom systems.
This book provides a detailed description of the application of relativistic quantum mechanics to the many-body problem in the theoretical chemistry and physics of heavy and superheavy elements. Recent years have witnessed a continued and growing interest in relativistic quantum chemical methods and the associated computational algorithms which facilitate their application. This interest is fuelled by the need to develop robust yet efficient theoretical approaches, together with efficient algorithms, which can be applied to atoms in the lower part of the Periodic Table and, more particularly, molecules and molecular entities containing such atoms. Such relativistic theories and computational algorithms are an essential ingredient for the description of heavy element chemistry, becoming even more important in the case of superheavy elements. They are destined to become an indispensable tool in the quantum chemist's armoury. Indeed, since relativity influences the structure of heavy atoms in the Periodic Table, relativistic molecular structure methods may replace in many applications the non-relativistic techniques widely used in contemporary research.

Book Description

As with nearly all living creatures, humans have always been attracted and intrigued by floral scents. Yet, while we have been manufacturing perfumes for at least 5000 years to serve a myriad of religious, sexual, and medicinal purposes, until very recently, the limitation of our olfactory faculty has greatly hindered our capacity to clearly and objectively measure scent. Today, thanks to advances in practical methodologies and affordable instrumentation, we are now able to collect, separate, and identify volatile compounds with aromatic impact. These advances are leading to much intensive investigation that has already resulted in many highly insightful and useful discoveries. Biology of Floral Scent provides the first comprehensive treatment of the biology of floral scents. It reviews the impressive research being done across several disciplines, incorporating molecular biology, enzymology, chemistry, entomology, genetic engineering, and functional genomics. Organized into a single volume for the first time, this landmark work covers every major aspect of floral scent research including- · Function and significance in the interactions between plants and pollinators · Composition and enzymology · Evolutionary aspects · Commercial applications, including the use of recently identified scent genes to genetically engineer flowers to produce new scents Meeting the needs of plant scientists, cell and molecular biologists, natural product chemists, pharmacognosists, and entomologists, as well as students in these fields, this work provides the background, findings, and insight that will stimulate new research to further advance an understanding of floral scent biology.

Actor Joe Morton takes on all the roles of this audiocassette's multicultural cast of characters. His grasp of New Jersey accents, dialects, and inflections is flawless, imbuing all of Richard Price's carefully drawn characters with a gritty sense of authenticity. Morton's crisp, controlled narration propels the story forward with taut, edgy suspense. As he reads, he glides effortlessly from his role as narrator to those of the main characters. Single mother Brenda Martin speaks with a breathy, stammering, and truly fear-permeated voice, while the introspective African American detective, Lorenzo Council, has a clipped, businesslike manner of speaking. Morton takes equal care in bringing to life Price's minor characters, whether portraying a no-nonsense, white New Jersey housewife whose voice has been made coarse by too many cigarettes, or an African American Muslim preacher whose commanding bass voice isn't quite powerful enough to spur his community to action. Morton's greatest achievement, however, is his characterization of Council's jaded, middle-aged white partner, Bump. When Morton slips into the role of Bump, his growling, Jersified Brooklynese is so startling, it almost seems that a life-long resident of Hoboken has stepped into the recording studio and appropriated Morton's microphone. The recording is slightly marred by occasional intrusions of synthesized music that are, for the most part, superfluous and distracting, but Morton's acting abilities and vocal agility are more than sufficient to keep any listener riveted.

Book Description

The celebrated author of Clockers delivers his most compelling and accomplished novel to date.

A white woman, her hands gashed and bloody, stumbles into an inner-city emergency room and announces that she has just been carjacked by a black man. But then comes the horrifying twist: Her young son was asleep in the back seat, and he has now disappeared into the night.

So begins Richard Price's electrifying new novel, a tale set on the same turf--Dempsey, New Jersey--as Clockers. Assigned to investigate the case of Brenda Martin's missing child is detective Lorenzo Council, a local son of the very housing project targeted as the scene of the crime. Under a white-hot media glare, Lorenzo launches an all-out search for the abducted boy, even as he quietly explores a different possibility: Does Brenda Martin know a lot more about her son's disappearance than she's admitting?

Right behind Lorenzo is Jesse Haus, an ambitious young reporter from the city's evening paper. Almost immediately, Jesse suspects Brenda of hiding something. Relentlessly, she works her way into the distraught mother's fragile world, befriending her even as she looks for the chance to break the biggest story of her career.

As the search for the alleged carjacker intensifies, so does the simmering racial tension between Dempsey and its mostly white neighbor, Gannon. And when the Gannon police arrest a black man from Dempsey and declare him a suspect, the animosity between the two cities threatens to boil over into violence. With the media swarming and the mood turning increasingly ugly, Lorenzo must take desperate measures to get to the bottom of Brenda Martin's story.

At once a suspenseful mystery and a brilliant portrait of two cities locked in a death-grip of explosive rage, Freedomland reveals the heart of the urban American experience--dislocated, furious, yearning--as never before. Richard Price has created a vibrant, gut-wrenching masterpiece whose images will remain long after the final, devastating pages.

It's never taken so much time and effort to get through a day!.......2007-03-15

Whoa! I bought this book because the "idea" sounded great. By 250 pages you are only into the second day...and what a long, boring, tedious, overly descriptive, monotone day it was. The story plods along...no crawls, drops, lays there dying, then a spark of life and it crawls some more only to drop again.
I can't stand it. It had so much potential...but only one inciting incident in 250 pages?? These are the longest days I've ever lived.
Forget it.

DON'T BOTHER..........2006-10-12

Never in my life have I wasted such a vast amount of time on such a worthless book. I would have to say this is quite possibly the worst book I have ever read. I am an avid reader and never have I seen a novel with a more transparent plot, "preachy" theme, and gross void of ANY emotional connection with the characters. I believe that it took me about 150 pages to figure out what had happened. The characters functions of pawns of the author. Acting in archetypal patterns to better hit his point home. It was insulting to read. I felt as thought I was being lectured for page after page after page. After having such contrived characters relaying the story to me...I didn't care. I would have enjoyed the book more if all the characters had jumped off a bridge on page 4.

Sweet mother of mercy.......2006-06-23

this book is unbelievably boring. watching grass grow would be more interesting. i couldn't care less about any of the characters or really even in finding the missing child. what should have been a gripping page turner spent 500 (and that is not a misprint) pages describing in MINUTE detail every second of two days. i hated this book.

buyer beware.......2006-03-15

This is one of the most boring books I have started in a long time. I am about to put it aside but I feel so ripped off that I had to write this review. I would like to be able to get my money back from the author like any other unsatisfactory retail product. I cannot even find an email address for him.

Nothing happens.......2006-03-13

Freedomland is as about as entertaining as an Oliver Stone film chronicling the history of synchronized swimming. The dialogue, character development and descriptions are outstanding, but it lacks one crucial element...a story. What little story there is is shallow, predictable, frustratingly slow and flat out boring. It's a 700 page yawn that could have been whittled down to 250 and would still lack the creative substance that one would expect from Richard Price.

A WORK OF GENIUS.......2001-05-12

This is one of the best plays written by an American in the last 20 years -- an extremely funny family play that also serves as an encapsulation of the philosophical strains which dominated American life in the late 20th century. Like Shaw's HEARTBREAK HOUSE, it shows old ways of thinking that were about to be extinguished in the coming century. But Shaw's 19th century critique was written in 1920. Freed had to pierce the twentieth century fog in order to create this brilliant work . . . one which, in time, will be regarded as one of the seminal works of 21st century theater.
