The field of asymmetric catalysis plays an increasingly large role in chemical synthesis as the demand for single-enantiomer starting materials, intermediates, and products rises. This book describes the essential aspects of enantioselective catalysis in a clear, logical fashion, with chapters organized by concept rather than by reaction type. Each concept is supported by carefully selected examples to give the reader broad exposure to a wide range of catalysts, reactions, and reaction mechanisms.

Biological Inorganic Chemistry: Structure and Reactivity 

# data[].attributes.description
The long awaited text for 21st century courses in biological inorganic chemistry is now available. Organized and edited by Ivano Bertini, Harry Gray, Ed Stiefel, and Joan Valentine, with contributions from many other world leaders in the field, this all-new book is equally appropriate for graduate or senior undergraduate courses in bioinorganic chemistry. The book has been extensively class-tested at Princeton and UCLA, and it includes tutorials in biology and biochemistry and in inorganic chemistry to aid students of varying backgrounds. The main text is divided into two parts. Part A, Overviews of Biological Inorganic Chemistry, sets forth the unifying principles of the field. A full course in bioinorganic chemistry could be based entirely on this overview section, which is a really a book within a book!  Part B, Metal-Ion Containing Biological Systems, describes specific classes of systems in detail. A special feature is the strong connection to the genomic revolution that has dramatically enhanced our ability to define the function of gene products in living organisms. Throughout the book, protein data bank codes are given for structures discussed in the text, and students are encouraged to learn to use the PDB in their courses and research. This exciting new book will be a must read for years to come for all students and researchers interested in the field of biological inorganic chemistry.

"I heartily recommend this exciting book as an excellent senior-and graduate-level textbook as well as a reference source for both students and seasoned researchers alike.  With its cutting-edge material, it should remain definitive many years to come."  Chem Educator

"A fantastic book that I can't wait to get on my shelf."  Sonya J. Franklin, University of Iowa

"An indispensable book...Highly recommended for upper-division undergraduates through professionals." Choice, July 07

The Complete Guide to Growing Your Own Fruits and Berries: Everything You Need to Know Explained Simply

# data[].attributes.description
Many of the fruits and berries in your refrigerator have roots in countries outside the United States, but some, such as blueberries, are native to the United States and Canada. Those same fruits and berries are exported to your local grocer, but you could be the one doing the growing in your personal garden. Homegrown fruits are most often much healthier than store bought produce, which lack important nutrients. Not only are these foods easy to grow, but also they hold key ingredients that are a vital part of staying healthy and in some cases alive.  For example, research has shown that blueberry extracts were proven to reverse the common signs of aging. Other homegrown berries, such as crushed Alpine strawberries, are natural bleaches for stained teeth, liver spots, and skin blemishes.

The Hedge Funds Book: How to Invest in Hedge Funds & Earn High Rates of Return Safely

# data[].attributes.description
Money managers have traditionally used hedge funds as they would mutual funds: to pool investors' money and place it in financial instruments in an effort to make a high positive return. Hedge funds have typically been available only to the very affluent or to investors with inside contacts, but today that has changed. Almost any investor can now participate in a hedge fund and earn high returns.
Why should you consider investing in a hedge fund? One reason is simply the high potential returns. Since January 1990, as measured by the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index, which accounts for more than 1,600 funds listed on the internal Hedge Fund Research (HFR) Database, hedge funds have returned 14 percent per year through October 2005. Many funds have earned triple digit returns.
As with many other business segments, the Internet and technology have opened up this attractive marketplace to a new breed of individual investors and speculators working part-time. You and I are now on an even playing field with the largest banks, wealthiest individuals, and trading institutions from the comfort of our own homes.

Hedge funds can provide you with very high, secure rate of return   12%, 18%, 24%, or even 300%   per year. If performed correctly, hedge fund trading will far outpace all other investments. This all sounds great, but what is the catch? There really is none, except you must know what you are doing!

The key is learning how to proceed. This groundbreaking and exhaustively researched new book will provide everything you need to know to get you started generating high-investment returns with low risk from start to finish.

In this easy to read and comprehensive new book, you will find out how to invest in hedge funds, evaluate their performance, and employ investing strategies and tactics, deftly using the latest technology to set up your account online. You will be able to handle fees, taxes, and risks, and you will get little known data to help you double or even triple your investment – all while avoiding the common traps and pitfalls.

In addition, we took the extra effort and spent an unprecedented amount of time researching, interviewing, e-mailing, and communicating with hundreds of today’s most successful hedge fund investors. Aside from learning the basics of hedge fund trading, you will be privy to investors’ “closed club” secrets and proven successful ideas.

Instruction is great, but advice from experts is even better, and the experts chronicled in this book are earning millions. If you are interested in learning essentially everything there is to know about hedge fund investing along with hundreds of hints, tips, strategies, and inside advice, then this book is for you.
