As scientists debated the nature of life in the nineteenth century, two theories predominated: vitalism and mechanism. Erik Peterson tells the forgotten story of the pursuit of a Third Way in biology, known by many names, including “the organic philosophy”, which gave rise to C. H. Waddington’s work in the subfield of epigenetics and that captured the attention of scientists from Francis Crick to Stephen Jay Gould.

9781486303328 Paperback £57.50 / €65.00

Provides a fascinating and at times amusing insight into the real world uses of chemicals.

Chemicals are everywhere. Many are natural and safe, others synthetic and dangerous. Or is it the other way around? Walking through the supermarket, you might ask yourself: Should I be eating organic food? Is that anti-wrinkle cream a gimmick? Is it worth buying BPA-free plastics?

This sixth edition of Chemistry in the Marketplace provides fresh explanations, fascinating facts and funny anecdotes about the serious science in the products we buy and the resources we use. It might even save you some money.

With chapters on the chemistry found in different parts of our home, in the backyard and in the world around us, Ben Selinger and Russell Barrow explain how things work, where marketing can be deceptive and what risks you should really be concerned about.

Chemistry in the Marketplace is a valuable text book for university lecturers, high school teachers and students of chemistry and chemistry related subjects and disciplines, such as biochemistry, microbiology and science in society.CSIRO Publishing

Serge Alinhac’s groundbreaking work on wave equations in the late 1990s was the first to treat more than one spatial dimension. In 2007, for the compressible Euler equations in vorticity-free regions, Demetrios Christodoulou remarkably sharpened Alinhac’s results.

Is there a vector space whose dimension is the golden ratio? Of course not - the golden ratio is not an integer! But this can happen for generalizations of vector spaces - objects of a tensor category. The theory of tensor categories is a relatively new field of mathematics that generalizes the theory of group representations. This book gives a systematic introduction to this theory and a review of its applications.
