Despite galloping advances in technology, medical expenses rise out of control--and yet mortality rates aren't dropping as might be expected, nor is the quality of life fast improving. In 21st Century Miracle Medicine, Alexandra Wyke examines the technologies that promise to change the dynamics of medicine--and, equally important, what systemic changes will be necessary to see them implemented. Wyke makes a compelling case that technologies such as robotic surgeons, telesurgery (operating at a distance, controlling instruments from afar), and the digitization of patient information promise radical long-term reductions in the cost and intrusiveness of medical procedures. These developments will also change the health care profession and particularly the role of its practitioners. Some of Wyke's scenarios--such as the eradication of most infectious diseases by 2050--seem optimistic, but on the whole the book is well researched and sensibly argued.

Book Description

Enantioselective synthetic methods are not only in the forefront of chemical and pharmaceutical research but activity in this area is constantly increasing. It is stimulated by the urgency to obtain drugs or compounds of medicinal interest as single anantiomers, and the keeness to synthesize natural products in nonracemic form. This volume presents seven chapters from pioneers and authorities in this rapidly expanding field.

Book Description

Volume 3 summarises contemporary methods for the synthesis of functional groups where carbon is attached to a heteroatom (notably oxygen, nitrogen, and sulphur) by a double or triple bond. The synthesis of all types of carbon and heteroatom substituted, and unsaturated derivatives are brought together in a coherent fashion, and where possible emphasis has been placed on selectivity and efficiency, together with practical applications in real situations in synthetic chemistry. Thus, the Volume covers synthetic methods for aldehydes and ketones, together with their sulphur (ie. thioaldehydes and thioketones), selenium, tellurium, nitrogen (ie. imines, oximes and hydrazones, including iminium salts and diazo compounds), phosphorus and metal/metalloid analogues. Synthetic methods for heteroatom substituted aldehydes and ketones and their analogues, eg. carbonyl ylides, are also included, and a thorough account of
ketenes and ketenimines and their various heteroatom and metal analogues is given. The Volume also covers the unique chemistry associated with the synthesis of nitriles and N-substituted nitriles, together with isonitriles and all their heteroanalogues.

Book Description

Other volumes in the series Reagents for Organic Synthesis Volume 1 "…well on the way to becoming the reference of choice for everyone concerned with techniques of synthesis in organic chemistry." —Science "Due to the book's unprecedented coverage of reagents and their uses, the suppliers section, the well-organized indexes, and the ease of locating information either in the reagents section or in one of the indexes, I would consider this book a valuable addition to the library of every college of pharmacy. I would also recommend that graduate students acquire this valuable reference book for their own personal library." —Richard H. Hammer, University of Florida 1967 1,457 pp. Reagents for Organic Synthesis Volume 2 "The Fiesers' second volume updates, revises, and adds immensely to the content and worth of their first compilation of organic reagents. The need for a sequence of handbooks such as the Fiesers have provided has long been recognized, and the authors' almost traditional association with, keen awareness of, and interest in the special techniques of organic chemistry make the reading and study of these works especially worthwhile." —Journal of the American Chemical Society 1969 538 pp. Reagents for Organic Synthesis Volume 3 "This volume, as well as the previous ones, is extremely valuable to a synthetic organic chemist. All three volumes should be in his library." —American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education 1972 401 pp. Reagents for Organic Synthesis Volume 4 "Synthetic chemists have found the first three volumes of the Fiesers' Reagents for Organic Synthesis very useful and will welcome the new fourth volume of this series.…As before, the authors have carefully culled the recent (1970-1972) literature for applications of organic, inorganic, and organometallic reagents, old and new, and present them alphabetically according to reagent.…Not only are their applications in synthesis discussed, but useful hints, with references, concerning their preparation or commercial suppliers are given. The synthetic chemist will find this volume a veritable gold mine of useful information." —Journal of Organometallic Chemistry 1974 660 pp. Reagents for Organic Synthesis Volume 5 "New reagents for organic synthesis play an extremely important role in the armentarium of the practical organic chemist. It is, therefore, not surprising that this excellent series by Mary and Louis Fieser is a bestseller and a `must' for the home library.…The Fiesers have done it again. An excellent volume that can be heartily recommended." —Pharmaceutical Journal 1975 864 pp. Reagents for Organic Synthesis Volume 6 1977 765 pp.

Excellent Reference Guide for Organic Synthesis.......2005-09-09

The quality of the information in these books is priceless. It is the ideal reference book for anyone thinking of entering the field of organic chemistry. Not only does it enplain in detail what most of the simpler reagents do, but it also provides information on specific methods and the pros and cons of each method.
I would suggest that anyone entering their Masters should pick up this book. They will not regret it.

A WONDERFUL COLLECTION OF IMPORTANT GERMAN SHORT STORIES.......2006-07-10

I am a retired Internist. In college, I was privileged to Major in both Chemistry and German Literature. Now, after so many years, I find myself again reading familiar stories in the original German, without the need of a large and clumsy German-English Dictionary to spoil the flow of the prose. The works in this slim volume are all masterpieces, and, for me, old and much beloved friends. I am grateful for the dual-language series which brings me such tremendous pleasure.

Quiter awful.......2006-01-20

I am a german III student,so I am quite proficient in german. I found this book absolutely horrid. The translation was helpful yes, but the stories themselves were grotesque. After reading two of the stories I gave up trying to read a decent story. This book is best used a table decoration rather than reading.

OK study at a German 3 or higher level.......2004-12-04

This book provides five short stories, with English and German versions provided side-by-side: German on the left hand side, English on the right. This can definitely save time with a dictionary (but can also be a crutch - so watch out and discipline yourself). The stories are listed in the product description.

I'm assuming that you will be reading this to help study German. After about two years of a language you should be able to read a book on your own (slowly but surely). But many books will still be too complex. These are borderline. The stories here are at a level that could be read during a German 3 class, or between classes to maintain and build skills. I don't recommend this book during a German 1 or 2 class. Instead try Graded German Reader by Cossgrove during German 1. (It is expensive, but is very good if you know almost no German.) At a German 2 level move onto comic books like Tintin and Asterix, which have more complex grammar but use pictures to reinforce. Oh and by the way try replacing .com with .de on large websites for the German version. (This works on Amazon!) Especially look for fashion pages and "light" reading. You can understand more than you think!

Basically if you can already read moderately complex German then this is an economic book to read through. If you can't already pick up a book and read through it then this is not for you. However to get a book at your level ask advice from a German instructor. Chances are they will have had to study German, including literature, in college and will be familiar with the authors here. They can recommend authors to you and tell you if this is over your level. This is a book that you will never "outgrow", which means you have to be pretty skilled already to read it.

(And if you are German and trying to learn English, then you should be fine. Afterall you read this review;-)

Teach yourself German.......2002-02-13

For the avid self-teacher, this book will be very useful. Textbooks give you sentences here and there that are translated, and that's very useful. However, having entire stories translated for you is an even better way to learn a language. You have sentence after sentence of correct grammar and vocabulary. You can see how a proper sentence is constructed time and time again.

The translation looks like this: German on the left page, English on the right page. The five stories are by some of German's most famous writers...Hoffmann, Kafka, Kleist, Mann, and Schnitzler.
