Book Description
Ce "Dictionnaire chimique et technologique des sciences biologiques" est en fait à la fois un dictionnaire de chimie organique et de tous les domaines directement connexes, à savoir entre autres : pharmacologie, biochimie, biologie moléculaire, chimie des substances naturelles. Il comporte de ce fait un important nombre d'entrées (environ 16 500) concernant aussi bien les méthodes analytiques et spectrométriques mises en jeu dans ces différentes disciplines que les techniques de transformation ou de mise en forme (galénique dans le cas de la pharmacie p.ex.). Il m'a paru également souhaitable, puisque la base de cet ouvrage est la chimie organique, d'y introduire le maximum de noms de réactions (réactions "à noms propres") avec leurs définitions. Enfin, on ne sera pas surpris de trouver dans ce dictionnaire un grand nombre d'acronymes, ces derniers étant largement utilisés dans les communications et ouvrages scientifiques et présentant éventuellement des problèmes de compréhension, en particulier pour des traducteurs scientifiques parfois mal familiarisés avec certaines techniques. En conclusion cet ouvrage s'adresse non seulement aux étudiants, chercheurs et enseignants, mais également à tout lecteur de livres techniques ou de vulgarisation, sans oublier enfin les traducteurs scientifiques.

Book Description
This penultimate volume in Pelikan's acclaimed history of Christian doctrine—winner with Volume 3 of the Medieval Academy's prestigious Haskins Medal—encompasses the Reformation and the developments that led to it. "Only in America, and in this case from a Lutheran scholar, could we expect an examination so lacking in parti pris, a survey so perceptive, so free—and, one must say, the result of so much immense labor, so rewardingly presented."—John M. Todd, New York Times Book Review "Never wasting a word or losing a plot line, Pelikan builds on an array of sources that few in our era have the linguistic skill, genius or ambition to master."—Martin E. Marty, America "The use of both primary materials and secondary sources is impressive, and yet it is not too formidable for the intelligent layman."—William S. Barker, Eternity

Pages : 437
Book Description
In A Case-Based Guide to Clinical Endocrinology, Second Edition, a renowned group of distinguished clinicians once again provides stimulating instruction and insights into a wide variety of endocrine topics, teaching readers modern management of the conditions described and offering targeted entry into the literature. Importantly, many of the important elements in the current curriculum for clinical endocrine training as recommended by the Association of Program Directors in Clinical Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism are covered in this text. Thoroughly updated, this new edition not only covers new treatment approaches but also emphasizes the latest investigative advances in both imaging and molecular diagnostics. To reinforce learning and retention of knowledge, a question-based approach is used in many of the case studies. Students, residents, fellows, and practitioners will find this reference to be an efficient way to review their understanding and increase their skills and abilities in patient investigation and management. An invaluable contribution to the field, A Case-Based Guide to Clinical Endocrinology, Second Edition, offers the same comprehensive volume of thought-provoking case-studies that made the first edition of significant importance to all clinicians who treat patients with endocrine disorders.
Rules and Restraint
Author: David M. PrimoPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226682617
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Government spending has increased dramatically in the United States since World War II despite the many rules intended to rein in the insatiable appetite for tax revenue most politicians seem to share. Drawing on examples from the federal and state governments, Rules and Restraint explains in lucid, nontechnical prose why these budget rules tend to fail, and proposes original alternatives for imposing much-needed fiscal discipline on our legislators. One reason budget rules are ineffective, David Primo shows, is that politicians often create and preserve loopholes to protect programs that benefit their constituents. Another reason is that legislators must enforce their own provisions, an arrangement that is seriously compromised by their unwillingness to abide by rules that demand short-term sacrifices for the sake of long-term gain. Convinced that budget rules enacted through such a flawed legislative process are unlikely to work, Primo ultimately calls for a careful debate over the advantages and drawbacks of a constitutional convention initiated by the states—a radical step that would bypass Congress to create a path toward change. Rules and Restraint will be required reading for anyone interested in institutional design, legislatures, and policymaking.
