Organic Structure Determination Using 2-D NMR Spectroscopy: A Problem-Based Approach, Second Edition, is a primary text for a course in two-dimensional (2-D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques, with the goal to learn to identify organic molecular structure. It presents strategies for assigning resonances to known structures and for deducing structures of unknown organic molecules based on their NMR spectra. The book begins with a discussion of the NMR technique, while subsequent c...

In this exciting and innovative textbook, two leading oceanographers bring together the fundamental physics and biology of the coastal ocean in a quantitative but accessible way for undergraduate and graduate students. Shelf sea processes are comprehensively explained from first principles using an integrated approach to oceanography that helps build a clear understanding of how shelf sea physics underpins key biological processes in these environmentally sensitive regions. Using many obse...

NMR Case Studies: Data Analysis of Complicated Molecules provides a detailed discussion of the full logical flow associated with assigning the NMR spectra of complex molecules, also helping readers further develop their NMR spectral assignment skills. The robust case studies present the logic of each assignment, from beginning to end, fully exploring the available range of potential solutions. Readers will gain a better appreciation of various approaches and develop an intuitive sense for ...

Teddy Roosevelt’s head sculpted from butter. The Liberty Bell replicated in oranges. The Sioux City Corn Palace of 1891 encased with corn, grains, and grasses and stretching for two city blocks—with a trolley line running down its center. Between 1870 and 1930, from county and state fairs to the world’s fairs, large exhibition buildings were covered with grains, fruits, and vegetables to declare in no uncertain terms the rich agricultural abundance of the United States. At the same fairs—b...

In 1951, Robert H. Simpson lifted off in a specially-equipped plane, flying directly into the path of a storm that would send most people running for cover. For more than four hours he observed Typhoon Marge from its eerily calm eye, later describing it in The Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society as “a coliseum of clouds whose walls on one side rose vertically and on the other were banked like the galleries in a great opera house.”For Simpson this was just one o...

"Even when my brother-in-law was dragged off and lynched by his feet to the deck railings, I still thought it was one big jape, some utterly obscure practical joke to be played on unsuspecting foreigners. I was still desperately hoping that I wouldn't have to take part. That was my first mistake..."In November 2011, I moved to South Korea to teach English at the British Council's Seoul office.I had never been to Asia in my life. What was I thinking?!This book is a t...

When Gregory H. Simpson was hired to run the drama program at Ottawa private school Ashbury College, he brought with him a very simple premise:If you taught kids to think, there would be a revolution in education.That premise—plus a few years, more than a few scandalously unfiltered plays, and a whole bunch of wonderful students—would create the internationally-acclaimed Theatre Ashbury. Mr. Simpson demanded critical thought, intense work, and commitment from those kids, an...

Deep in the equatorial heart of Africa, where the Kasai River winds through cathedral forests so dense they swallow the sun, two men dared to go where few outsiders had ever ventured and returned to tell the tale. Melville William Hilton-Simpson's extraordinary account of his two-year expedition through the southwestern Congo is a journey into a world that existed on the absolute edge of the known, a landscape of staggering beauty and genuine peril populated by peoples whose customs, belie...

GENSTAT is a general purpose statistical computing system with a flexible command language operating on a variety of data structures. It may be used on a number of computer ranges, either interactively for exploratory data analysis, or in batch mode for standard data analysis. The great flexibility of GENSTAT is demonstrated in this handbook by analysing the wide range of examples discussed in Applied Statistics - Principles and Examples (Cox and Snell, 1981). GENSTAT programs are listed f...
