Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An insider's perspective on the pharmaceutical industryIt's easy to hate Big Pharma. After all, they charge a lot of money for life-saving drugs. You could argue that Big Pharma's incentive to generate income is antithetical to the needs of society. But, if you set costs aside, no reasonable person could argue against the industry's accomplishments. The pharmaceutical industry has cured many infectious diseases and some cancers, delayed the onset of heart disease, enabled AIDS patients to live long and productive lives, controlled the progression of arthritis, and reduced pain.Any thoughtful discussion on the pharmaceutical industry must be guided by the facts.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This introduction to the writings of Søren Kierkegaard is for anyone who has felt daunted by the prospect of reading and understanding the work of one of the most important yet elusive 19th century thinkers. Kierkegaard scholar M. Jamie Ferreira sets out to make the Danish philosopher's work accessible with a unique and innovative 'how to' approach, guiding readers through his works and showing how he thought, rather than simply what he thought.Kierkegaard is the first detailed introduction to his entire body of work, illustrating how literary, philosophical, theological, and psychological influences coincide in both the religious and pseudonymous (philosophical) works. Ferreira highlights the literary strategies Kierkegaard employed to awaken and challenge the reader and observes that the two very different arcs of his writing are nevertheless inexorably intertwined, rather than merely parallel, exerting a dramatic and dynamic influence on one other.The result is an extraordinary text, suitable for accompanying the new reader of the primary works but with many things to offer those returning to them.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One approach to organic synthesis is retrosynthetic analysis. With this approach a chemist will start with the structure of their target molecule and progressively cut bonds to create simpler molecules. Reversing this process gives a synthetic route to the target molecule from simpler starting materials. This 'disconnection' approach to synthesis is now a fundamental part of every organic synthesis course. Organic Synthesis: The Disconnection Approach, 2 nd Edition introduces this important technique, to help students to design their own organic syntheses. There are forty chapters: those on the synthesis of given types of molecules alternate with strategy chapters in which the methods just learnt are placed in a wider context. The synthesis chapters cover many ways of making each type of molecule starting with simple aromatic and aliphatic compounds with one functional group and progressing to molecules with many functional groups. The strategy chapters cover questions of selectivity, protection, stereochemistry, and develop more advanced thinking via reagents specifically designed for difficult problems.Examples are drawn from pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, natural products, pheromones, perfumery and flavouring compounds, dyestuffs, monomers, and intermediates used in more advanced synthetic work. Reasons for wishing to synthesise each compound are given.This second edition has been fully revised and updated with a modern look. Recent examples and techniques are included and illustrated additional material has been added to take the student to the level required by the sequel, 'Organic Synthesis: Strategy and Control'.Several chapters contain extensive new material based on courses that the authors give to chemists in the pharmaceutical industry.Organic Synthesis: The Disconnection Approach, 2 nd edition provides a full course in retrosynthetic analysis for chemistry and biochemistry students and a refresher for organic chemists working in industry and academia.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Organization structures do not fail, says Jay Galbraith, but management fails at implementing them correctly. This is why, he explains, the idea that the matrix does not work still exists today, even among people who should know better. But the matrix has become a necessary form of organization in today's business environment. Companies now know that if they have multiple product lines, do business in multiple countries, and serve many customer segments through a variety of channels, there is no way they can avoid some kind of a matrix structure and the question most are asking is 'How do we learn how to operate the matrix effectively ' In Designing Matrix Organizations That Actually Work, Galbraith answers this and other questions as he shows how to make a matrix work effectively.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Scientific ideas change the way we think about the world and our place in it. Nicolaus Copernicus developed a heliocentric view of the cosmos that displaced humans from the physical center of the universe. Charles Darwin developed an evolutionary theory that placed humans firmly within the organismic order of nature. It was Sigmund Freud who saw himself as completing this cycle of disparagement by destroying the belief that humans were 'masters in their own house'.Copernicus, Darwin and Freud: Revolutions in the History and Philosophy of Science deals with issues in the area of intersection between history and philosophy of natural and social science. Using Copernicanism, Darwinism and Freudianism as extended case studies, Friedel Weinert illustrates the profound connections between science and philosophy and shows how scientific theories invariably have philosophical consequences. Philosophical controversies surrounding ideas of human nature, realism and instrumentalism, models and theories, laws of nature and scientific method are all examined within the context of concrete problem situations in the history of science.Copernicus, Darwin and Freud is an engaging and versatile text suitable for a variety of courses in the history and philosophy of science or for individual study.; Grundlegend umwälzende wissenschaftliche Erkenntnis führt zu gleichermaßen weitreichenden Umwälzungen in der Philosophie. Diese Verbindung wird anhand des Beispiels der Lehren von Kopernikus, Darwin oder Freud aufgezeigt.…
