Pärast vanemate lahutust läheb 16aastane Madle õppima Tartusse, et pääseda eemale ühtäkki tühjaks ja kõledaks muutunud lapsepõlvekodust. Ta ema kolib koos uue elukaaslasega ära, vend pühendub oma äsja loodud perele, isa võitleb enesekaotusega, suutmata eluga enam järje peale saada. Madlel ei jää üle muud, kui püüda omapäi toime tulla. Teos kõneleb kaotatud lootustest, minevikudeemonitest, süütundest ja iseendale andestamise oskusest, samuti sügavast, hullutavast armastusest, mis ei tunnista vanuselisi piire. Tegevustik toimub 1970ndate alguses. Autorid: Urve Tinnuri

Ajaga võidu kujutab endast Mart Laari mälestuste teist osa. Kui mälestuste esimene osa Pööre oli pühendatud Isamaa esimesele valitsusele aastatel 1992-1994, siis teine teisele valitsusele aastatel 1999-2002. Esimeses osas kujutati Eesti pööret idast läände, teises aga selle muutmist pöördumatuks transatlantiliste struktuuridega ühinemise teel. Eestile oli saatuslikult oluline libiseda NATO uksest sisse enne kui Vene karu selle kinni jõuab lüüa. NATO laienemise ümber käis äge heitlus erinevate riikide vahel ja sellestki on raamatus juttu. Räägitakse ka e-riigi ehitamise algusest ja vastuseisust sellele. See on raamat julgetest otsustest ja suurtest riskidest, aga ka möödalaskmistest ja valusatest kaotustest, milles mul pole paraku võimalust kedagi muud peale iseenda süüdistada. See on raamat meeleheitlikust võidujooksust ajaga, milles jäime peale. Autorid: Mart Laar

Romaan "Vahe tera" on viimane Maughami nn suurtest romaanidest, kindlasti kõige ambitsioonikam ja tunnetuslikult kõige sügavam, heites muu hulgas valgust idamaise müstitsismi põhjatutesse sügavustesse. Nimetatud romaanis toimub materiaalse ja mittemateriaalse maailma kokkupõrge eriti mastaapsel ja dramaatilisel kujul. Maugham kirjutas selle Teise maailmasõja lõpuaastail Chicagos, olles 70-aastasena ilmselt elu parimas intellektuaalses vormis, esmatrükk ilmus täpselt 75 aastat tagasi, 1944.Larry Darrell on noor ameeriklane, kes otsib Absoluuti. Tema otsingute odüsseia toob mängu mitmeid Maughami briljantsemaid tegelaskujusid, nagu näiteks Larry kihlatu Isabel, kes peab valima armastuse ja rikkuse vahel ning viimase onu Elliott Templeton " tüüpiline välismaal elav ameeriklasest snoob. Ja milline kõrvaltegelaste galerii ning nendega seotud vähemalt novellimõõtu lood " poolakast valemängur Kosti, Suzanne Rovier, Sophie Macdonald... Üks olulisematest tegelastest on romaani lehekülgedel muide ka Maugham ise, jälgides omaloodud tegelaskujude võitlust oma saatusega. Autorid: William Somerset Maugham
Lihastes peitub tohutu hulk füüsilise ja vaimse seisundiga seotud infot. Keha on meisterlik suhtleja, kuid meie pole kuigi head kuulajad. See raamat avab su kõrvad ja silmad paljudele vaimse ja füüsilise tervise aspektidele ja tervendamismeetoditele ning sa õpid tulemuslikult kuulama oma emotsionaalseid lihaseid. Kui oskad lihaseid kuulata ja mõistad, mida need sulle öelda üritavad, relvastad end teadmistega, millele toetudes hoolitsed tõhusalt oma keha ja hinge tervise eest. Iga kord, kui süda murdub või meid tabab kohutav kaotus, pagendame emotsioonid kusagile kaugemale, et valu edasi lükata. Seisame silmitsi sellega, millega suudame, ja peidame ülejäänu ära. Selline käitumine on inimloomuses. Usun, et kui peidupaika kuhjub liiga palju läbi elamata emotsioone, võetakse appi lihased, sidekirme, siseelundid ja energiaväljad. Emotsioonid peavad kuhugi minema!Mis juhtub asjadega, mille oled elu jooksul oma väikestesse hingesahtlitesse surunud? Kus need praegu on? Kui emotsionaalseid valusid ei elata täielikult läbi, uinuvad need kehas, kuni lihtsalt ei mahu enam su hingesahtlitesse ja peavad välja pääsema. Kahjuks tulevad need uinuvad koletised enamasti päevavalgele füüsilise valu või haiguste kaudu. Need on haiguste emotsionaalsed põhjused. Autorid: Emily A Francis
Milline on olümpiamedali hind?Pekingi taliolümpialt Eestile ainsa medali toonud Kelly Sildaru pole lihtsalt üks sportlane paljudest. Teda on juba pisikesest peale peetud imelapseks. Ta on üles kasvanud meie kõigi silme all ja aastaid säranud üle väikese Eesti piiride.Aga imelapse elu ei ole alati imeline. Vaid vähesed inimesed teavad, kui okkaline on olnud Kelly teekond tippu tegelikult, sest pikka aega kõneles Kelly eest tema treenerist isa, kelle tegusid uurib nüüd prokuratuur. Selles raamatus räägib oma loo ausalt ja avameelselt Kelly ise.Kelly Sildaru keeruline teekondKelly Sildarust sai juba väikese tüdrukuna maailma parim pargisõitja, kes ei kaotanud oma lemmikalal ainsatki võistlust. 13-aastasena võitis ta kõigi aegade noorimana ekstreemsportlaste kõige mainekama jõuproovi, X-Gamesi. 16-aastasena tuli ta kõigi aegade noorimana täiskasvanute maailmameistriks rennisõidus. 19-aastasena tõi ta Eestile Pekingi taliolümpialt medali.See ei ole olnud lihtne teekond. Suurte võitude vahele on mahtunud ka palju musti päevi " valu, pisaraid ja loobumismõtteid. Kelly ei ole selle koorma all murdunud.

Chemists are now moving away from volatile, environmentally harmful, and biologically incompatible organic solvents. With its low cost, ready availability, and capacity to remove environmentally unfriendly by-products, water is an obvious replacement. Recent advances in free radical chemistry in water have expanded the versatility and flexibility of homolytic carbon-hydrogen, carbon-carbon, carbon-halogen, carbon-nitrogen bond formations in aqueous media. This textbook highlights the substantial progress which has been made in the last decade to "tame" the reactive free radical species in aqueous phase reactions. It describes carbon-hydrogen bond formations in aqueous media via radical reactions with a specific focus on HAT (Hydrogen Atom Transfer). Suitable for students of chemistry, industrial chemists and academic researchers, it combines extensive knowledge of free radical chemistry with the latest innovations and creative applications. Divided into five main areas, it covers the: generation of carbon centred free radicals; radical initiators; solubility of substrate; suitability of free radical hydrogen donors, and HAT reactions in aqueous media. The book describes radical reactions in organic and aqueous media and their applications in total synthesis, DNA structural probing, isotope labelling, living polymerization and various other applications. It shows that, armed with an elementary knowledge of kinetics and some common sense, it is possible to harness radicals into tremendously powerful tools for solving synthetic problems. Written with the needs of students in mind, it offers just the right level of detail for undergraduate study. All the basic principles and facts on each topic area are presented in a concise yet comprehensive style that is appropriate for both core and specialist courses. It provides a step-wise introduction, taking students from the basic principles of radical reactions through to their applications in industry and their role in biological and environmental processes. Case studies are used to illustrate reactions in landmark synthesis and problems, with outlined answers, test the reader's understanding. There are also suggestions for further reading.

High-temperature liquid chromatography has attracted much interest in recent years but has not yet recognized its full potential in the chromatographic community. There is a widespread reluctance in industry to use temperature to speed up the separation process, influence the selectivity of a separation or implement novel detection techniques. However, the technology has now matured and could revolutionize chromatography as we see it today. Better equipment, such as heating systems able to generate faster heating rates, is becoming more readily available. Also, columns based on silica gel, which can withstand higher temperatures for an extended period, are now being introduced. Nevertheless, further technological and methodical efforts are needed to establish the method in a regulated environment like the pharmaceutical industry. This is the only text to cover all the practical aspects, as well as the underlying theoretical principles, of setting up an HPLC system for high temperature operation. It is not intended solely for academics but will also benefit the researcher interested in more practical considerations. The author is a recognized expert and has conducted several studies with partners from industry to validate the method. Many real examples from these studies have been included in the book. The aim is to support practitioners in the creation of their own protocols without the need to rely solely on trial and error. The book starts with a brief definition of high temperature liquid chromatography before going on to cover: system set up; the heating system; mobile phase considerations; suitable stationary phases; method development using temperature programming; analyte stability, and special hyphenation techniques using superheated water as a mobile phase. In each chapter, experimental data is used to illustrate the main statements and the advantages over conventional HPLC are evaluated. The book concludes with a critical outlook on further developments and applications underlining the necessary advances needed to make high temperature HPLC more robust. Autorid: Thorsten Teutenberg

Long before Matsukaze was a mighty stallion, he was a young foal living and playing in the forested mountains of his homeland, learning the traditional ways of life from his family and from nature. While coexistence with their living environment is essential, a matter of mutual respect, coexistence with the encroachment of humankind is another thing altogether...
A general yet substantial review of the application of catalysis to biofuels production, covering the full spectrum of biomass catalysis. The development of renewable and sustainable lignocellulosic biofuels is currently receiving worldwide attention and investment. Despite decades of research, there remain significant challenges to be overcome before these biofuels can be produced in large volumes at competitive prices. One obstacle is the lack of efficient and affordable catalytic systems to dissolve and hydrolyze polysaccharides into sugars. These sugars are then fed to microrganisms and fermented into biofuels. The price of these catalysts, be they biological, thermochemical, or chemical in nature, represent one of the largest costs in the conversion process. There are a number of catalytic schemes, each with their own advantages and disadvantages, available. This book presents a general yet substantial review of the most promising processes and the spectrum of biomass pretreatment, enzymes, chemical catalysts, and hybrid approaches of hydrolyzing biomass into fermentable sugars. It is the only currently available book that compares the biochemical, chemical, and thermochemical conversion processes to biofuel production. Autorid: Blake A Simmons

Unpacking the life and work of a beloved New York artist whose multihyphenate practice and radical linguistic vision influenced a generation of poets, performers and activists This is the first monograph dedicated to the visionary American artist, poet and activist John Giorno. Emerging from the New York downtown scene of the 1960s, Giorno developed a singular artistic voice at the crossroads of poetry, performance, painting and political activism over the course of more than six decades. By bringing the written word off the page and into performance, technology and visual art, Giorno challenged disciplinary boundaries and advanced a radical vision of language as central to human expression. Though often positioned at the margins of multiple downtown scenesthe Beats, Andy Warhols Factory, punk music, queer counterculture, anti-war activismhe was in fact an influential presence within all of them, operating as a conduit between coexisting cultural communities. His collaborators included Robert Rauschenberg, William S. Burroughs, Laurie Anderson, Anne Waldman and Allen Ginsberg, among many others.This book traces how Giorno wove poetry into all aspects of daily lifeby putting words on the wall, on the performance stage, on LP vinyl records or on the telephone. A wide range of archival documents, images and ephemera form an intimate portrait of Giorno as an activist, performer, Buddhist practitioner, collaborator and friend.John Giorno (19362019) was a New Yorkborn poet, performance artist and activist. After receiving early recognition for his starring role in Andy Warhols five-hour film Sleep (1963), Giorno created his iconic Dial-A-Poem at the Architectural League of New York in 1968. His wide-ranging legacy includes his foundations support of artists living with AIDS through the AIDS Treatment Project. He lived and worked in New York City with his husband, the Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone, until his death in 2019. Autorid: John Giorno
