Dramatic Problem Solving

Conjugate Addition Reactions in Organic Synthesis, Second Edition, Volume Nine provides an introduction to the chemistry of conjugate reactions, a group of reactions that constitute one of the most important classes of chemical reactions in organic synthesis. The book is organized according to class of acceptor rather than the class of nucleophile, which makes for easier synthetic problem-solving. All aspects of conjugate addition reactions are covered, including theory, mechanism, catalysis and total synthesis. Asymmetric processes are heavily featured, and there is emphasis on catalysis, given its importance in all aspects of organic synthesis today. Extensive examples in total synthesis illustrate how particular synthetic challenges are addressed and resolved with conjugate addition chemistry. This new edition features new coverage of acceptors and nucleophiles, as well as organocatalysis, gold catalysis, peptide catalysis, arene additions, and emerging areas such as biocatalytic

Part of the experience of being alive in the twenty-first century is the feeling that your attention span is collapsing, along with those of everyone around you - including your children. Why have we lost our ability to focus? What are the causes? And - most importantly - how do we get it back? In Stolen Focus, internationally bestselling author Johann Hari sets out on a global investigative journey into our shortening attention spans. He tells us what he learned from spending three months off the internet, reveals the inside story of the war to grab our attention that is waged every day, and explores why those prescribing mood stimulants to 10% of children in schools are getting it so wrong.Drawing on more than two hundred interviews with the world's leading experts on attention problems, Stolen Focus moves beyond individual solutions towards a collective understanding of a problem facing us all. Only by first solving the attention crisis, Hari argues, can we turn to fixing the issues
