Book Description
Heterocyclic chemistry is the largest of the classical divisions of organic chemistry. Heterocyclic compounds are widely distributed in nature, playing a vital role in the metabolism of living cells. Their practical applications range from extensive clinical use to fields as diverse as agriculture, photography, biocide formulation and polymer science. The range of known compounds is enormous, encompassing the whole spectrum of physical, chemical and biological properties. The Handbook of Heterocyclic Chemistry is illustrated throughout with thousands of clearly drawn chemical structures and contains over 1500 chemical figures and reactions. The highly systematic coverage given to the subject makes this one of the most authoritative single-volume account of modern heterocyclic chemistry available.

Book Description
This enchanted collection brings together eight of George McDonald's most well known fantasies into one delightful volume. The George McDonald Treasury includes The Princess and the Goblin, The Princess and Curdie, The Light Princess, Phantastes, The Giant's Heart, At the Back of the North Wind, The Golden Key, and Lilith. MacDonald's classic works have inspired deep admiration in such notables as J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, G. K. Chesterton, Elizabeth Yates, and Lewis Carroll. C. S. Lewis wrote, "I have never concealed the fact that I regarded him as my master; indeed I fancy I have never written a book in which I did not quote from him." One day while in a train station, he picked up a copy of Phantastes and began to read. "A few hours later," said Lewis, "I knew I had crossed a great frontier." G. K. Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin as a book that had "made a difference to my whole existence." Madeleine L'Engle wrote, "Surely George MacDonald is the grandfather of us all-all of us who struggle to come to terms with truth through imagination." If you loved J. R. R. Tolkien's Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, you will love the works of his hero and model - George McDonald.

Great stories, but..........2007-05-09
...the Phantastes story does not have the original quotes that preceded each chapter's events. I found the quotes and passages added to the understanding of the events, but they are omitted here.
Book Description
In this Radio Theatre audio drama adaptation of George MacDonald's classic story, a beautiful woman known as the North Wind blows through a small village in Victorian London, and everyday lives are mysteriously enveloped by a power and a glory. Along the way, she visits a poor stable boy named Diamond and takes him with her on her journeys. At the Back of the North Wind explores the place of death in our lives, social injustice, and our deep need for love and forgiveness.
C. S. Lewis, author of the classic Chronicles of Narnia series, said of MacDonald, "What he does best is fantasy--fantasy that hovers between the allegorical and the mythopoeic. And this, in my opinion, he does better than any man. MacDonald is the greatest genius of this kind whom I know."

A great pleasure to listen to.......2007-03-18
This production by Focus on the Family Radio Theatre was a great pleasure to listen to. The miles in car passed as I listened to this great production.
At the Back of the North Wind.......2006-03-14
Again, Radio Theatre by Focus on the Family has exceeded our expections with "At the Back of the North Wind." We listen over and over again to all of their radio theatre productions. So much fun to listen to in the car! It's as if you're watching a movie, except you get to use a little imagination.
Amazon.com
This is a story of a poor stable boy living in Victorian London in which everyday lives are mysteriously enveloped by a power and a glory, personified here as a beautiful woman known as the North Wind. She visits the small boy, Diamond, and takes him with her on her journeys, teaching him about herself. Through the eyes of an innocent and yet perceptive child, MacDonald explores North Wind as a way of exploring the place of death in our lives. He looks squarely at social injustice--he knew poverty and the poor first hand--and yet also sees that the deepest need we have is for love and forgiveness, which are rooted in eternity.
This is a book for children--I've read it to my own daughter more than once--even though they may not understand just who North Wind is until years later. Adults on the other hand will learn that while they thought they knew something about death, there is much to relearn--and probably the most important part. --Doug Thorpe

Customer Reviews:
Not all that impressed.......2007-02-09
I can see the main point of this book, and I think that's cool. "Don't worry when bad things happen - good things are around the corner." Or, to put it another way, "All things work together for good." But most of this book honestly annoyed me. Diamond is entirely too perfect (it starts to get on my nerves).
However, there *are* some scenes that really touched me and really made me think. For instance, when Diamond goes to help the drunken cabbie and his family. I like it when George MacDonald makes these side-notes about society and how we often approach situations from the wrong angle. That was definitely worth it.
After I read this, I went on to read "The Lost Princess." What a contrast! I went from reading about one angelically perfect boy to two horrendously bratty girls. I found the girls much more interesting! (And I felt like I could learn a few lessons myself regarding pride and humility)
Incredibly Boring!.......2006-10-18
After reading and loving his "The Princess and the Goblin" and "The Princess and Curdie",I thought this would be a joy as well. I was wrong! I tried to like it. I read about 75 pages and had to give up. I could detect no plot,no point at all and it seemed to be going nowhere,all he did was fly around with the North Wind,and they chatted about nothing of any interest or importance. This is the worst book that it has been my misfortune to come across in a very long time,and only the second,that I ever remember closing and giving up on. Read the other two,but forget this one!
The Magic of MacDonald's Fairy Tale.......2006-07-31
I am quite ready to add At the Back of the North Wind to my collection of masterpieces that shall remain close to me, I suspect, my entire life. While a collection of favorite books by C. S. Lewis' site largest on that shelf, At the Back of the North Wind will be the second book by George MacDonald to join them. This seems quite appropriate as Lewis himself held MacDonald in such high esteem, even calling him his `master.' While more childish than Phantastes, At the Back of the North Wind manages to enchant my imagination in the same way that Narnia always has, while upon first inspection the tale may seem to be of little substance to a more mature audience I think there is subtle depth hidden within the deceptively simple child whom the story centers upon.
Diamond is the young boy of a poor coach driver and his wife living in England during the late 1800's. The story begins in the hayloft above the horse stalls where Diamond sleeps, as the wind blows, but it is not a simple wind, it is the North Wind, the romantic and enchanting idea of a grand lady who is the north wind. Diamond, the infinitely innocent and pure child is beckoned into the air and weaved into many journeys with the north wind where he learns goodness, truth and beauty. Throughout the story, other people see him as quietly wise or as one of `God's Babies.' As the story progresses Diamond becomes week and ill and while being taken to the enchanted country at the back of the North Wind he lapses into unconsciousness. Diamond returns, and with what strength he has, blesses everyone whom he meets; helping his family by driving his father's cab while he is ill, saving an orphaned friend off the streets, even quieting the drunken man's baby who lives next to him, whom even mistakes him for an angel. Finally touching the heart of the rich, but generous and altruistic man who looks after Diamond's orphaned friend and gives Diamond's father a job and lodgings in the countryside.
Yet, it is not these heroic acts, if one might call them that, resound so thoroughly, he is not doing good deeds, doing good deeds seems almost insincere when considered next to his genuine good nature. Like Narnia and Phantastes, there is a longing for something we may never fulfill here in our daily lives, a longing for something we have only hints of, Lewis defines this as Joy, for Diamond it is the longing for the country at the back of the North Wind, of which his first journey there is only a hint of the true country. As for me, I too feel this longing and it is an experience likely to be found in a quite forest and in the embrace of this extraordinary book.
Diamond is someone you can admire.......2006-05-11
This is a 299 paged fiction book.
This book most likely takes place in Europe where horses and carriages were people's transportation.
Diamond is a young boy.
His father is a coachman. His mother works in the home.
Diamond is named after his dad's favorite carriage horse.
Diamond is first visited by the North Wind in his bedroom in the loft.
When he was with North Wind, he could not say he was exactly happy because he didn't have his parents with him; but it was more than happiness, he was content, at peace and still when there.
Diamond is a small boy who has blond hair, light blue eyes, light brown skin, lips like a red rose, sings songs to his little brother and sister that some time make you cry.
Diamond was kind to his little brother and sister; he was brave, clever, neat, and generous. He was wise beyond his young years.
People liked him. He was kind to every one.
North Wind is gentle and kind to Diamond. Even though it doesn't say it at the beginning, North Wind is death. Diamond went to be with her.
I would recommend this book to 6th graders and up.
The book talks about death in a peaceful way.
Diamond is someone you can admire.
Innocence at its finest.......2006-05-05
George Macdonald suceeds in creating a perfectly innocent character in this book: the young boy Diamond. A previous reviewer said that Diamond was too perfect and not believable. I assume that this reviewer would say that Adam was not believable before he fell as well. Why someone is looking for "believable" (by believable I believe that he meant a character we would expect to meet in real life) characters in a George Macdonald fantasy novel in the first place is beyond me. It is like criticizing China for not producing any Englishmen.
Secondly, a previous reviewer said that this book is important historically but that it was not fun to read. He says that "He's the point when 'just fun' and 'sound moral instructions' combine in children's literature." I would like very much for him to show me one of these childrens stories with no moral instruction. That is what all fairy tales were about until recently. Try to find any traditional fairy tale that is not meant to convey moral truths to us. I am afraid that the reviewer has got it exactly backwards. This novel is not historically important at all, but it is very fun to read. George Macdonald is a master at creating fantasy worlds which the reader find easy to become immersed into.

Product Description
More than a century after it was written, George MacDonald's At the Back of the North Wind continues to intrigue readers with its allegorical treatment of life and death. The story of the young boy Diamond who meets the mysterious and beautiful North Wind explores, in the words of one reviewer, ""the possibility of trusting cooperation with this awesome but benevolent force."" The great Christian writer C. S. Lewis, working a generation later, called MacDonald ""the greatest genius of his kind."" Find out for yourself what so impressed Lewis and countless readers over the last 130 years!
Customer Reviews:
Nice but too long.......2007-09-25
The book starts well, very interestingly it dwells with the life of this little fellow Diamond whose father is a poor coachman in London. He has a mysterious relation with the North Wind. And this is the best part of the book, this relationship, the travels and conversations between the lady wind and the angelic child. When the text parts from these vehicles it complicates too much, not much happens and gets lost in too much talking.
Still worth a try, the mystery is there if one hangs on to the end.
"The Meaning Will Come with the Thing Itself...".......2007-07-13
George MacDonald wrote hundreds of stories throughout his lifetime (not surprising considering he had eleven kids!), most of which were fantasies that drew on a rich variety of sources: mythology, fairytales and Biblical mysticism. Credited by C.S. Lewis as the main inspiration behind The Chronicles of Narnia Boxed Set, MacDonald's dreamy little tales (especially this one) are a strange blend of frustrating ramblings and sublime imagery. Love it or hate it, "At the Back of the North Wind" encompasses the best and worst about MacDonald, the Victorian Era, and even children's literature itself.
Named after his father's favourite horse, Diamond is the son of a coachman, and lives above the stable in the hayloft. As the story begins, Diamond is visited by a mysterious but beautiful woman who introduces herself as the North Wind. Inviting him to join her on her night-time journeys, Diamond soon becomes intimately acquainted with the being, unraveling certain aspects of her enigmatic characteristics and even visiting the land that exists behind her back - a place that she herself is barred from.
The visit endows Diamond with an unearthly quality of goodness and innocence (MacDonald is constantly defending Diamond's angelic conduct with the fact that he's been to the back of the North Wind), allowing his mere presence to positively improve and enrich the lives of those around him, including his family, his employers, and acquaintances from both the upper and lower classes. Although most tend to think that Diamond is touched in the head, the young boy has utter faith in the North Wind and her claims that everything will eventually turn out for the best. As a Congregationalist minister, MacDonald truly believes in this theology, and ensures that whatever seems like misfortune or tragedy in the plot is eventually revealed to be unexpectedly fortuitous in one way or another.
"At the Back of the North Wind" was originally written in serialized form, with each chapter published periodically in magazines, and so the story can feel a little choppy at times. There is no clear sense of a structured plot or story-arc, instead it is quite episodic - one chapter can be about Diamond's virtuous deeds in London, another can be fully devoted to a fairytale that a character is telling, or a dream that a person has had. At times you can tell that MacDonald is just making it up as he goes along, which makes for a fresh, but sometimes frustrating read. I like to have the sense that an author has a clear sense of where they're going with their plot and characters, and often parts of MacDonald's work can appear random or meaningless.
Of course, this is almost certainly due to the time period in which it is written. MacDonald was a contemporary of Lewis Carroll, author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass (Signet Classics), the first children's book to be written for pure entertainment purposes (in fact, it was MacDonald's children who were among the first to read Carroll's manuscript and encourage him to publish it). If there are any kinks in MacDonald's storytelling, it was probably because he was one of the forerunners in writing children's fiction - there were few prototypes on which to model his own work. Understandable, but still a little annoying when slugging through several long and not-very-good poems inserted needlessly into the text (you have my permission to skip them).
There are other aspects of Victorian culture at work in the story: a fascination with the poor and the sick (both encompassed in the character of Nanny, a young sweeper), the growing trend of philanthropy at work amongst the upper-classes (as seen in the frequent visits to the children's hospital), a preference for country life than that of the city, and a sense of mysticism and spirituality throughout. And then of course there's Diamond himself. The Victorians were in love with the idea of the Child as a God-Like Being (witness any one of Wordsworth's poems) and Diamond is no exception. He is, quite simply, perfect. This means that some readers will find him endearing, enlightening and inspirational, and others will find him sanctimonious, irritating and totally unbelievable as a character. For what it's worth, I like Diamond, even when MacDonald takes his character to its inevitable end - Diamond is too good for this earth, and the Victorians loved a good death scene (see Little Nell in Charles Dickens's The Old Curiosity Shop (Penguin Classics)).
Although most children will be put off by the strange, dreamy pacing of the novel (better to start them off with MacDonald's most popular children's book The Princess and the Goblin (Puffin Classics - the Essential Collection)), older readers will be fascinated by MacDonald's creation of the North Wind and the theology that he delicately works into the story - a theology that only occasionally slips into preaching. There's plenty here to be intrigued by, certainly enough to make it worth the reading, but be prepared for some randomness, shaky plotlines and Victorian melodrama (though on second thought, that last one just may be a bonus feature!)
