Two-Dimensional NMR Methods for Establishing Molecular Connectivity: A Chemist's Guide to Experiment Selection, Performance, and Interpretation

Book Description

This guide to two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy helps the novice who want e the technique, but needs a path through the bewildering array of metho acronyms and the mathematical rigor found in most books.
The authors provide a clear explanation of experiment performance, param lection, data processing and presentation as well as a description of wh rmation is provided by each experiment and how it is extracted and inter They group presentations of two-dimensional NMR experiments according t zation, e.g. COSY, LRCOSY, ZQCOSY, DQCOSY ... for establishing proton-pr nnectivities.
The book also presents spectra of the same model compound using various ues to enable the reader to make direct comparisons and facilitate his e nt selection. Examples of the concerted utilization of various two-dimen NMR experiments to solve complex structural problems are also given.

Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on New Biosynthetic Biodegradable Polymers of Industrial Interest from Microorganisms, Sitges, Spain, May 26-31, 1990

Book Description

For deft plotting, riotous inventiveness, unforgettable characters, and language that brilliantly captures the lively rhythms of American speech, no American writer comes close to Mark Twain. This sparkling anthology covers the entire span of Twain’s inimitable yarn-spinning, from his early broad comedy to the biting satire of his later years.

Every one of his sixty stories is here: ranging from the frontier humor of “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,” to the bitter vision of humankind in “The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg,” to the delightful hilarity of “Is He Living or Is He Dead?” Surging with Twain’s ebullient wit and penetrating insight into the follies of human nature, this volume is a vibrant summation of the career of–in the words of H. L. Mencken–“the father of our national literature.”

None more pithy.......2006-12-12

None have mastered the pithy wisdom of Mark Twain and it is nowhere more powerful than his short stories. From the tales of bad little boys that teach us the source of integrity, to the diaries of Adam and Eve that give us great insight in male-female relations long before the self-help flood of the late 20th century. It is not only classic Americana but classic common sense full of wit and fun. None can make us laugh at ourselves like the literary genius of Mark Twain. I can read it over and over again and never grow tired of it.

Great Book, Bad Edition.......2006-06-23

This is an exhaustive edition of Mark Twain's short stories. Enough has been written about the high quality of Twain's work, which merits five stars here. But I need to add my own experience with this edition that has been discussed in other customer reviews. I agree with another reviewer that the Bantam edition leaves a lot to be desired. My own copy had a problem with the first few dozen pages being cut wrong, so that the last line of text was cut off, not even on the page. Tiny scraps of paper, like lint, kept falling out of the pages. And the ink from the text rubbed off on my fingers. You can do better than this edition. Do a little searching on Amazon. For a replacement copy, I found a nice used hardcover edition, complete with dustjacket, published in 1957, for just $8.00. But it's important to identify the copy you are ordering as the one edited by Charles Neider (1957 or later, 676 pages if it's hardcover). There are other Twain collections published under the same title that have (inexplicably) different content.

A Story Review.......2004-09-15

"The Story of the Bad Little Boy" is a satire on the stories we all heard in Sunday school with an interesting twist. While Twain seems to b satirizing the stories of old because his protagonist does not seem to encounter punishment for his sin, Twain still ends the story with something of a moral for us to think about. While Jim may have been able to get away with his bad behavior, he was still sinful. In other words, a person cannot base his or her behavior on the fact if he or she is punished or not. The truth is that many bad people get away with doing bad things all the time and we must be better and rise above such behavior. Goodness must come from one's own desire to be good.

Twain purposefully begins with Jim's bad behavior as what appears to be harmless. For example, his first bad at is replacing the jam with tar. This seems harmless enough. That act is followed by stealing apples from Farmer Acorn's apple tree. We are told that Jim "and the limb didn't break, and he didn't fall and break his arm, and get torn by the farmer's great dog" and he "stole as many apples as he wanted and came down all right."

Another interesting aspect of this story is how Twain is how Jim continues to live a bad life even as an adult. The sequence is essential to Twain's notion that evil, if allowed to grow, will take over a person's life. Jim's evil actions were innocent enough when he was a boy. However, they progressively become worse. For example, he moves from stealing apples to stealing a knife and then planting the knife in George Wilson's cap and allowing George to be punished. In fact, the incident with George reveals much about Jim's personality. We are told:

"No meddling old clam of a justice dropped in to make trouble, and so the model boy George got thrashed, and Jim was glad of it because, you know, Jim hated moral boys. Jim said he was `down on them milk-sops.' Such was the coarse language of this bad, neglected boy."

These statements reflect how Jim is growing more evil. He not only finds joy in doing evil things, but he also delights in the fact that good and innocent people suffer for crimes they did not commit. Jim moves from becoming a mischevious boy to an evil boy that hates good boys. This is a subtle action but it reflects how evil can subtly take over an individuals' life. In this sense we can see how people are not born completely evil. Instead, they wander through gray areas of life committing one evil act after another until they are transformed. The message here is that people rarely set out to be evil; rather they become evil after repeating one offense after the other.

Twain moves through the events of Jim's life to illustrate that although bad people do not always get caught, they end up with a life that is not pleasing or desirable. In the beginning of the story, the events Twain describes are what we would consider normal for an average boy. Stealing is something to which we can all relate. By introducing us to such events, Twain is engaging us as readers. When we read about Jim, we think that there is nothing wrong with him. However, as the story progresses, we realize that Jim's behavior begins to have negative effects on other people. Not only that, but Jim has little regard for these people. First, it is George then it become Jim's innocent family. By moving swiftly through these events, Twain is demonstrating how quickly a person can become evil.

I found this story to be fascinating in that its message is not terribly overt. I also enjoyed it because it is realistic. Many people do not get caught or punished for their crimes. But the most fascinating aspect is how Jim's character develops into a truly evil person. He goes from stealing jam to braining his entire family. At the end of the story, we are told that he "got wealthy by all manner of cheating and rascality; and now he is the infernalist wickedest scoundrel in his native village, and is universally respected, and belongs to the Legislature." Clearly, while this message seems to support the message that crime pays, it also indicates that Jim became an evil person one step at a time. In fact, Jim is probably not even aware of his own evilness.

It is also interesting that the narrator refers to Jim as lucky more than once. I also believe this is part of Twain's technique because at first glance, it would appear that Jim is lucky. he is never caught and is never punished for his crimes. In fact, he is well respected in his community. It would seem that he does have the best of luck. However, the underlying message is that we cannot rest on what society perceives as lucky when it comes to finding meaning in life. Jim's so-called luck is simply another one of society's misguided messages. In reality, Jim is not lucky at all.

In the end, Jim might have been considered lucky to some but more importantly, he was sinful. The story teaches us that goodness must come from within--it cannot come from Sunday school books nor can it come from how society perceives and treats us. While Twain mocks the typical Sunday school method of teaching, he is presenting the same message in that we must desire to be good and that desire must be our compelling force in life.

5 stars for the work and 3 stars for the edition........2003-09-24

Ok, now I don't think I need to go on about Mark Twain's genius and how it is essential reading for anyone who fancies themselves a fan of classic American literature, he's number two on my list of great American writers. His work is of the sort that will make you laugh out loud no matter how much you try to hold it in. It's easy to look crazy when reading Mark Twain in public. Now about the edition...is it bad? Well not in this reader's opinion and certainly not to the extent that like a fellow reviewer I'd give it 1 star. The content is there and is far from the exaggerated description given in other reviews. You don't have to tear the book apart to read it's contents. This is a compact edition and fitting lots of stories in only 600 pages for a very affordable price. Quantity versus quality? Ever heard quantity has a quality all it's own? It applies here. You can get all these stories for one low price. You can even toss it around and not have a guilty conscience that you are dismembering a treasure.

Easy to see why Twain is one of America's Classics.......2003-06-05

It is hard to believe that one writer could create such a diverse group of stories on all kinds of subject matter; each one written with Mark Twain's unique sense of humor and extraordinary gift of imagination.
These stories also stand the test of time as they are every bit as entertaining now as they were over 100 years ago.
Some of the ones that I enjoyed the most;
The Canvasser' Tale; the story of a man's collection of echoes
The Diary of Adam and Eve; a humorous look at what Adam and Eve's first thoughts of each other and the world around them.
The McWilliamses and the Burglar Alarm.
The Californian's Tale with a twist at the end.

the book was at good condition,delivered quick,although the first book had been returned back to the vendor-the second shipment arrived quickly.I'll continue to by from Amazon. Thank you Amir

The best ever intro to Mark Twain.......2005-01-11

My dad had the original hardback edition of this book in the early 60's, when it was first compiled. I read this book dozens of times, to the point where the covers were torn off and pages were missing.

This softback is the reissue, and is marvelous. It is a compilation of short sketches taken from his novels, newspaper articles and other published sources.

If you are only looking for the "funny stuff" from Mark Twain, without reading the accompanied novels it is all here. "Curing a Cold" is an early stand alone sketch, while "Guying the Guide" comes from "Innocents Abroad." Both of these are worth the price of the book. After reading this, you might consider "The Unabridged Mark Twain, Vol. I and II."

A great companion to this book is the "Complete Essays of Mark Twain." You'll find much less familiar material of a mostly serious nature. Great essays dealing with mental telepathy, international events and one brilliant, touching essay called "The Death of Jean," Mark Twain's thoughts when he found that his adult, epileptic daughter had died.

These two books together make reading in short bursts very meaningful when you don't have the time to read the entire novel. They serve to document the genius of a writer only America could have produced.

A distressingly funny book, inappropriate for quiet areas.......1999-04-16

This collection features stories so humourous that there should be a warning for heart patients. Ranging from advice for "Curing a Cold" to an angry article "Concerning Chaimbermaids", this set of articles will provide so much laughter aerobics will be unneccessary during the duration of the reading.

THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL.......2006-09-12

This is a wonderful collection of the short stories of Mark Twain with and introduction by Charles Neider. As far as I know, this is the first time all of these wonderful stories have been brought together in one book. This collection contains sixty (60) short stories. They are all pure Twain. Far be it from me to cast any stones at this particular author, one of my favorites, so I won't. Some of the stories are better than others and some will appeal to different readers in different ways. This is a great one to add to your library. Recommend it highly.

How long can this series go?.......2006-07-08

I like the new character development; plots are the same, but great summer reading fare

Tripe.......2006-05-01

Spell check would have helped with the flow... aside from even just that trivial stuff the whole book is just one constant stream of 'yeah, thought that was gonna happen' or 'where did they come up with that? That makes no sense'. The constantly changing point of view and story telling means absolutly nothing even at the end of the book. Joe Blow A goes to visit the future in-laws... great...where does this fit in with the story? Oh yeah, it doesn't at all. You killed 3 trees to waste 6 pages and 2 minutes of my time... and that's only one of many instances of things like that. Notice that people are selling this thing used for $0.72... that should be a good clue for you...

The decline of The Clancey Novel Continues.......2006-04-13

This book is a knock off a formula writing based on the adventures of who cares. Partly dime store romance and partly computer geek without the computer knowledge.
There is a very week plot with hints of romance and sexual suggestion to attempt to get the reader interested.

By far one of the worst of the recent Clancey production line novel writing approach.
Save your money and buy a comic book instead. It will appeal to the same reader.

If I could have rated it -1 star I would have done so.

To sum it up. This book sucks.

Terrible .......2006-03-27

This book is simply so awful, that I don't know where to begin. I recently wasted a few hours of my life (stuck in an airport) reading it, and boy was I angry! I was much better off sleeping. This book is a marvel of bad writing and banality.

First of all, it isn't interesting. From the very beginning it describes in detail what the "bad guys" are doing and who they are. Then you get to wait as the protagonists stumble around trying to find out what you already know. Annoying. The premise of the book itself isn't engaging and is completely unrealistic, not to mention full of plot holes, so it is all very very boring.

Perhaps I would care more about the characters, if they weren't so one-dimensional. There is nothing beyond a name, function and a description of a couple of banal qualities or hobbies. Some ridiculous combinations are attempted probably to make it look more realistic, but all it does is make it look even stupider. Here is an example - one of the protagonists is a very successful native american who got rich from running a software company (but of course!), who is going to marry a black girl (also very successful, working for the CIA or something), and he likes fencing. Another protagonist is a military who came into possession of an expensive guitar (by killing the spy who owned it) and sentimentally decided to learn to play it, and of course fell in love with the female music teacher and married her (of course!). I am not going to spoil it by describing the antagonist, but suffice to say it lives up to the rest of the book. Weep, Dostoyevsky, weep!

Many events in the book happen in "Virtual Reality" - people are wearing electronic goggles and full body suits creating artifical environment with 3D video, sound, touch and even smell. Not a bad concept, if it wasn't abused so terribly. First of all, the author keeps insisting that doing basic office activities in Virtual Reality is easier or more convenient. Let me explain - in Virtual Reality doing an internet search, for example, means actually, physically, searching, with hands and feet across rooms, sometimes even killing "virtual bad guys". In the book an internet search is very similar to a session of Doom or Quake. Realizing the monumental stupidity of this idea takes some time. Let me clarify - the results of the search are obviuously already available in the software, but they are artifically obscured in a game-like virtual environment so that the user may lose a couple of hours "looking for them".

Virtual Reality is abused in other ways too - whole chapters of the book are filled with pointless adventures in Virtual Reality. The protagonist is doing an Internet search for something and we get to follow his progress in a mini game, created purely for his amusement (he chooses the plot himself). Why should we care about any of that ? I could write a book describing a session of playing a game, but why would anybody want to read that ?

I mentioned that the premise of the book is not engaging, but I should go further than that. It is also idiotic. I hesitate to spoil the fun by describing it here, but believe me it makes no sense whatsoever. It is as if the author(s) couldn't figure why the bad guys would be doing whatever they were doing, so in the end they just picked something at random. Later in the book the plot breaks, but who cares at that point.

I don't know if other Tom Clancy books are like this one. I hope not.

He's Back.......2006-03-20

I surely hope this is a sign that the good writings are back. This book was great not to much dronning on and on about sword fighting. Easy to follow and a true joy to read, it was hard to put down.
