Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You know that you need oxygen to breathe, that neon can glow and chrome shines? But did you know that your cell phone contains arsenic, your spectacles contain rhodium and that the tin pest is not a disease? And can you name just three researchers whom we have to thank for all these results? Here, Professor Quadbeck-Seeger, a long-serving member of the board at BASF, goes in search of these and other questions. Based on the periodic table, the key reference source for any natural scientist, he explains the criteria that define an element's position in the table and are responsible for its particular characteristics. In a clear and concise manner, he describes for each element the story behind its discovery, its physical and chemical properties as well as its role in our everyday lives. Enriched by a wealth of interesting details, this beautifully designed book in full color represents not only varied reading, but also a treasure trove of surprising facts. Ideally combined with the "Historical Periodic Table" poster, this book is aimed at younger audiences and is thus particularly suitable for schools, lectures and other courses.

Book excerpt: This acclaimed post-apocalyptic novel of hope and terror from an award-winning author "pairs well with 1984 or The Handmaid's Tale" and includes a foreword by N. K. Jemisin (John Green, New York Times). When global climate change and economic crises lead to social chaos in the early 2020s, California becomes full of dangers, from pervasive water shortage to masses of vagabonds who will do anything to live to see another day. Fifteen-year-old Lauren Olamina lives inside a gated community with her preacher father, family, and neighbors, sheltered from the surrounding anarchy. In a society where any vulnerability is a risk, she suffers from hyperempathy, a debilitating sensitivity to others' emotions. Precocious and clear-eyed, Lauren must make her voice heard in order to protect her loved ones from the imminent disasters her small community stubbornly ignores. But what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: the birth of a new faith . . . and a startling vision of human destiny.

Book excerpt: In recent years, better delivery in development has been at the center of development discourse. There is now wide agreement that today'sdevelopment challenges demand effective solutions that fully integrate the aspirations, voices, needs, and support of citizens. But how canthe international community translate that realization into practical accomplishment?Volume 6 of The World Bank Legal Review examines delivery challenges through the lens of three concepts that are critical to better development outcomes: voice, social contract, and accountability. The volume turns a spotlight on the nature of this interlocking trio, revealing that their consistent integration into both the design and the implementation of development efforts is indispensable if successful outcomes are to result.Written by seasoned practitioners and eminent scholars from across the globe, the volume's 24 chapters illuminate the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to development. Development practitioners devoted to rule of law and justice must work with experts from various disciplines to create a synergistic dynamic that can optimize the integration of voice, social contract, and accountability into development efforts.

Book excerpt: "The darkness inside people is something that cannot be removed, will not be destroyed. For with a lack of darkness, the light itself becomes destructive. This is true of all things--without death, life has no purpose. Without oppression, the human spirit has no wings. One must never endure a complete lack of good, nor a complete lack of evil; to do so would destroy everything you are, as well as the potential of what you could be. Do not strive to be purely good, for walking always in the light changes a person. Attempt forever to avoid the darkness, for it will rip you apart. Walk instead a hair's width between the two - it is here, in the darkness before the light, that the great, the influential, and the god-like are most often found." --Kayara Kutaragi The world has split into its six core elements. The resulting world of the element Earth has four quadrants, each one perpetually one of the seasons: winter, spring, summer, and fall. For longer than any can remember, the world has thrived, the people and animals evolving to live on the new planet. The gears have begun to turn, however, on a new evolution. A le'mure, close kin to the lemurs of the original Earth, brings the girl Aria a tiny emerald. Ameagla is kicked out of the shelter of his homeland to live--or die--alone in the harshest quadrant. Jade takes it on herself to strike a deal with the merchant of death in order to save her father's life. There, she meets Kaalin and Kayara, who will join her on her task. The players are set on a world-sized chessboard to unravel the mysteries of the ancients, the technology, and the power they possessed over the very world itself. With the guardians of the seasons and other forces out to deter them, it is unknown what questions will be answered and what answers will reveal more questions.

Book excerpt: "In 2019, a child born in Japan will live to the age of 84, whereas a child born in Sierra Leone will only live until the age of 54.1 Similar disparities exist between rich and poor communities within countries.2 These differences in life expectancy are not caused by genetics, biology, or culture. Health inequities are caused by poverty, racism, a lack of medical care, and other social forces that influence health. A critical analysis of the historical roots of this gross and systemic inequality and of the political economy that continues inequality is a fundamental part of the study of global health"--
