Book Description
Natural products present in the plant and animal kingdom offer a huge diversity of chemical structures which are the result of biosynthetic processes that have been modulated over the millennia through genetic effects. With the rapid developments in spectroscopic techniques and accompanying advances in high-throughput screening techniques, it has become possible to isolate, determine the structures and biological activity of natural products rapidly, thus opening up exciting new opportunities in the field of new drug development to the pharmaceutical industry.
The present volume contains 22 articles written by leading experts in natural product chemistry on biologically active natural products. It includes research on a variety of different classes of natural products including sesquiterpenes, quassinoids, diterpenoids, lignans, oligostilbenes, phenylethanoids, phenylpropanoid glycosides, curcumin analogues, glycosphingolipids etc. Many of these have been found to be active in a number of different disease conditions.
* Timely reviews written by international authorities in the field
* Topics ranging from purely chemical to very biological
* The 13th volume in the series to be devoted to bioactive natural products

Book Description
Hardbound. Natural products chemistry has evolved with growing emphasis on isolating bioactive natural compounds. The synthetic programs are also directed towards bioactive natural products, many of which could hitherto only be obtained in small quantities from natural resources. However, they can be synthesised in much larger quantities. Moreover, new analogues may be prepared which will have a higher activity and lower toxicity than the parent compounds. The current volume specifically covers the field of such bioactive natural products. It presents research being carried out on a wide variety of compounds including fungal metabolites, anti-cancer alkaloids, oligonucleotides, bioactive terpenes, anti-tumor antibiotics, cytochalasans, indole alkaloids, flavors, biologically active carba-sugars, etc. The in-depth presentations on some of the current frontiers of natural product chemistry should prove to be of wide interest to all organic chemists.

Book Description
Hardbound. The plant kingdom provides an extensive reservoir of natural products, demonstrating significant structural diversity. Plants therefore present an extremely important source of organic compounds, providing mankind with a whole range of new and exciting pharmacophores. Volume 25 is the most recent addition to the Studies in Natural Product Chemistry series, and continues to expand on the importance of bioactive natural products. The content of this book is especially attractive, as it covers investigations into species found on both terrestrial and marine platforms and, for this reason, will no doubt generate significant interest amongst pharmocologists, medicinal chemists and organic chemists, working in academia and industry alike.

Book Description
Natural products play an integral and ongoing role in promoting numerous aspects of scientific advancement, and many aspects of basic research programs are intimately related to natural products. The significance, therefore, of the 28th volume in the Studies in Natural Product Chemistry series, edited by Professor Atta-ur-Rahman, cannot be overestimated.
This volume, in accordance with previous volumes, presents us with cutting-edge contributions of great importance. The first paper presents over 100 compounds obtained from Broussonetia spp., and discusses biological activities. This is followed by similar contributions dealing with the genus Licania and Ginkgo biloba. Additional papers describe in detail a number of interesting and important natural compounds or structural classes: retinoids, tetramic acid metabolites, isoprenylated flavonoids, plant polyphenols, crocin, marcfortine and paraherquamide, acaricides, podolactones, triterpene glycosides and sulfur-containing marine compounds. An additional paper focuses on the antitumor activities of lipids, and a final contribution deals with natural product amelioration of cancer chemotherapy-induced adverse reactions.
Book Description
This edition has been completely revised to include some 20% of new material. Important recent developments such as the theory of Regge poles are now included. Many problems with solutions have been added to those already contained in the book.
Customer Reviews:
Contents - Great, Print Quality - Really Bad.......2007-07-30
It is really a shame to have such a classic text with a typesetting that makes much of the mathematics almost unreadable. For example, the authors often use either a tilde, hat (carat), and dot (period) on top of operators, sometimes in combination. These are so badly rendered that you have to derive their identities from the context of the surrounding discussion. Frequently parts of characters are missing as if an old typewriter with a worn ribbon were used. I have 2 other volumes in this series (Mechanics and Statistical Physics Part 1) which do not suffer these defects. My 2-star rating is in no way a reflection of the contents nor the authors, which get 5 stars (based on the prose and the equations I CAN read).
amazing book.......2007-03-17
There are no words to express the amazing clarity of this book. I came across it at the library. I only have a passing interest in science but, despite the high level at which this book was written, this book helped me understand that there are things in this world called electrons that don't have a velocity or a path in the classical sense. When I die, I'll be one of the few that truly understood this amazing physics of our world thanks to this book. I cannot understand the whole book, but that is not the fault of the book. It is written for very specialized individuals thinking on a very high level. Some examples are included, but I suspect they are unnecessary as the exposition is superb. It is truly a work of art.
Terrible print quality........2006-08-01
I have received a 2005 printing of this, and the print quality is terrible, often unreadable in complex mathematical expressions. I purchased some other books in this series about 10 years ago, and their print quality was fine. So my advice is not to buy without being able to check the print quality first.
One of the best for skilled students.......2005-06-02
I've read this book 5 years ago and still use it sometimes today. One more time L.D. Landau tells us about how to get a firm grasp on Physics: first, learn something about more advanced mathematical methods you will need, and try to master them, then use them to derive in few pages the Physics you were used to derive, on a confused way, in lots of pages. Simply said: try to derive things from a unified point of view, with as few basic (but powerful) concepts as you can. Or, say it in a different way, use the right instruments, everytime ! I'd recommend this book to everyone who wants to gain a deeper and original understanding of the subject: you will find everything you need inside it. Some of the insights I've particularly appreciated: chapter V, VI, VII (the best treatment I've found of WKB method in QM), XVII. A good idea, if one wants to use it for a first grasp/course on QM is to use it together with another book: I'd recommend J. Sakurai, W. Greiner (vol. I+II), F. Schwabl, or S. Gasiorowicz (be careful using the latter if you're studying to be a physicist some day: Gasiorowicz can be very helpful for an introduction to basic aspects of QM, chapters 1-5, but close the book once you have finished chapter 6 !).
Fits in nicely.......2005-04-14
How should one teach undergraduate QM? Do you skip straight to spin without the requisite backing in the Dirac equation, as in Sakurai? Do you stick with PDEs and the superposition principle, as in Griffiths? Do you take Bohm's approach and write reams of explanatory philosophical text? Or Liboff and lose the flavor altogether? There doesn't appear to be a single book approachable to undergrads that works for QM the same way Griffiths works for E&M.
Oh but there is. This book.
For example, Sakurai approaches perturbation theory with 'complementary projection operators'; the purpose seems to be to stay within his notation at the cost of clarity. Landau does all of perturbation theory in three pages. He covers a range of material as wide as Baym's lectures (your average QM book never mentions, say, molecules), does so in a timeless notation without a learning curve, and retains the clarity and 'physics-ness' characteristic of this series. And his 'problems' are publishable.
It is, unreservedly, the best undergrad QM text.
