Book Description
In search of the proverbial good time, Chemistry Matters is a contemporary novel about two charismatic brothas who couldn't share more of a bond if they were actually brothers. Anton "MAJAC" Charles is a straight-shooting, Naval submarine officer whose only Achilles heel is wearing his heart on his sleeve. A hopeless romantic, Anton tries to free himself of the lonely life of a bachelor by diving head-first into courting the undeniably sexy Celeste. Jared "Jaz" Stevenson is a smooth-talking baritone, who was content leaving trails of broken hearts behind on his way to the NBA; that was, until he met a hot, spicy little thing from the Mi-sippi bayou who made him stand up and take notice. These lifelong best friends remained thick as thieves although distanced for several years. When reunited in San Diego, they find themselves intermingling with the sexes and entwined in a web of turbulent relationships. Heart-pumping sensuality and tantalizing dialogue provide an intricate elixir of machismo and naiveté to this emotional rollercoaster of a novel that really makes readers wonder how good real chemistry could be. Although love is a road worth traveling, MAJAC and Jaz must endure trials, tribulations, and love beautiful women while struggling to find out if ... Chemistry Matters.

The Origin and Nature of Life on Earth
Author: Eric Smith
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 131648985X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 703
Book Description
Uniting the conceptual foundations of the physical sciences and biology, this groundbreaking multidisciplinary book explores the origin of life as a planetary process. Combining geology, geochemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, evolution and statistical physics to create an inclusive picture of the living state, the authors develop the argument that the emergence of life was a necessary cascade of non-equilibrium phase transitions that opened new channels for chemical energy flow on Earth. This full colour and logically structured book introduces the main areas of significance and provides a well-ordered and accessible introduction to multiple literatures outside the confines of disciplinary specializations, as well as including an extensive bibliography to provide context and further reading. For researchers, professionals entering the field or specialists looking for a coherent overview, this text brings together diverse perspectives to form a unified picture of the origin of life and the ongoing organization of the biosphere.

The Chemical Philosophy of Robert Boyle
Author: Marina Paola Banchetti-Robino
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197502520
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
Robert Boyle (1627-1691) believed that a reductionist conception of the mechanical philosophy threatened the heuristic power and autonomy of chemistry as an experimental science. While some historical and philosophical scholars have examined his nuanced position, understanding the chemical philosophy he developed through his own experimental work is incredibly difficult even for experts in the field. In The Chemical Philosophy of Robert Boyle, Marina Paola Banchetti-Robino energetically explains Boyle's ideas in a whole new light and proposes that Boyle regarded chemical qualities as non-reducible dispositional and relational properties that emerge from, and supervene upon, the mechanistic structure of chymical atoms. Banchetti-Robino demonstrates that these ideas are implicit in Boyle's writing, making his philosophical contributions crucial to the fields of both philosophy and chemistry. The arguments presented are further strengthened by a detailed mereological analysis of Boylean chymical atoms as chemically elementary entities, which establishes the theory of wholes and parts that is most consistent with an emergentist conception of chemical properties. More generally, this book examines the way in which Boyle sought to accommodate his complex chemical philosophy within the framework of the 17th century mechanistic theory of matter. Banchetti-Robino conceptualizes Boyle's experimental work as a scientific research programme, in the Lakatosian sense, to better explain the positive and negative heuristic function of the mechanistic theory of matter within his chemical philosophy. The Chemical Philosophy of Robert Boyle actively engages with the contemporary and lively debates over the nature of Boyle's ideas about structural chemistry, fundamental mechanistic particles and properties, the explanatory power of subordinate causes, the complex relation between fundamental particles, natural kinds, and unified chemical wholes. The book is a rich historical account that begins with the dominant paradigms of 16th and 17th Century chemical philosophy and takes readers all the way through to the 21st Century.
