The essays in this first volume of The Journal for the Philosophical Study of Education follow an unusual flow between the personal and social, touching on the experience of teaching and the perspectives of recognized philosophers of education, and leading to broader considerations of policy discourse in education and educational administration. Thus we go from personal explorations of value and meaning (Fontaine) to studies of the effects of social policy and sociopolitical concerns on education (Howell, Loftin) to explorations of teaching (A. Johnston, O'Neill) to the significance of the works of particular philosophers and/or thinkers (G. Johnston, Kim) to international educational discourse and administrative practice (Friedrich and Lee; Bradbury, Halbur, and Halbur).
Best Synthetic Methods: Organophosphorus (V) Chemistry provides systematic coverage of the most common classes of pentavalent organophosphorus compounds and reagents (including phosphonyl, phosphoryl, and organophosphates), and allows researchers an easy point of entry into this complex and economically important field. The book follows the Best Synthetic Methods format, containing practical methods, synthetic tips, and shortcuts. Where relevant, articles include toxicity data and historical context for the reactions. Typical analytical and spectroscopic data are also presented to enable scientists to identify key compound characteristics. The book is a valuable companion to research chemists in both academia and industry, summarizing the best practical methods (often originating in difficult-to-access, foreign-language primary literature) in one place. It is ideally suited for those working on industrial applications of these compounds, including insecticides, herbicides, flame retardants, and plasticizers. - Includes a mixture of tried and tested, historical methods that are proven to work, alongside new methods to provide scientists with a quick, time-saving resource of reliable methods - Includes tips and tricks to get reactions to work; important information often missing from other sources - Includes key analytical data for compounds, so scientists have one handy resource to select, perform, and analyze the best reaction
This directory in three volumes updates the second edition of the Directory of Japan Specialists and Japanese Studies Institutions in the United States and Canada, which was published in 1995 as a joint project of The Japan Foundation and the Association for Asian Studies. Like its predecessors, it has two aims: first, to make Japan specialists, Japanese studies programs, and their collective expertise more visible and accessible to those outside the field; and, second, to help those involved in Japanese studies stay in touch with one another. It includes 1,480 Japan specialists, 266 full institutional entries containing 1,947 staff listings, and 663 doctoral candidates. The directory is most complete for academic Japan specialists who make up the core of the field. However, as in 1995, many non-academics are included who use their expertise on Japan professionally. The institutional listings include a number of non-academic institutions and ogranizations that contribute substantially to Japanese studies. The U.S. part of the series has been managed and edited since the late 1980s by Patricia Steinhoff, professor of sociology at the University of Hawai‘i. The Japan Foundation is the Japanese government’s agency for cultural diplomacy and international cultural affairs. Established in 1972 by special legislation in the Japanese Diet, The Japan Foundation became an Independent Administrative Institution in October 2003. Its mission is to promote international cultural exchange and mutual understanding between Japan and other countries. It maintains its headquarters in Tokyo and operates through a network of 19 overseas offices in 18 countries worldwide.

To fully utilize Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, a comprehensive and well-organized compilation of NMR data is necessary. While compilations have been available for other important NMR nuclei, such as carbon and fluorine, no comprehensive collection of data has been prepared for phosphorus-until now. The CRC Handbook of Phosphorus-31 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Data provides a collection of 31P NMR chemical shifts for nearly 20,000 organic and inorganic phosphorus compounds. Each class of phosphorus compound is discussed. Bond types, stereochemistry (with the exception of metal complexes), media, important coupling constants, and data sources are included. The information is systematically organized according to coordination state, the atoms bound to phosphorus, and their connectivities. A comprehensive series of bar charts is also included to allow structure types to be assigned to chemical shift data. This handbook is an invaluable resource for all scientists working with phosphorus compounds, including chemists, biochemists, medical researchers, and pharmaceutical chemists.

New updated material covers topics that have emerged in the petrochemical industry since 1997. - Contains information and calculations that the engineer or geologist must use in daily activities to find oil and devise a plan to get it out of the ground - Filled with problems and solutions, perfect for use in undergraduate, graduate, or professional courses - Covers real-life problems and cases for the practicing engineer
Over recent years electronic spectroscopy has developed significantly, with key applications in atmospheric chemistry, astrophysics and astrochemistry. High Resolution Electronic Spectroscopy of Small Molecules explores both theoretical and experimental approaches to understanding the electronic spectra of small molecules, and explains how this information translates to practice. Professors Geoffrey Duxbury and Alexander Alijah present the links between spectroscopy and photochemistry, and discuss theoretical treatments of the interaction between different electronic states. They provide a thorough discussion of experimental techniques, and explore practical applications. This book will be an indispensable reference for graduate students and researchers in physics and chemistry working on theoretical and practical aspects of electronic spectra, as well as atmospheric scientists, photochemists, kineticists and professional spectroscopists.
