Was It Something You Ate?: Food Intolerance: What Causes It and How to Avoid It
ISBN: 9780198509660 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is the first book for general readers that offers clear guidance through the chemical minefields that can be present in food. While most people are sensitive to one or more chemicals in their diet, such as MSG, alcohol or caffeine, our bodies can usually tolerate modest amounts of these offending substances. If we know which chemicals give us a problem, we can usually avoid unpleasant bouts of nausea, headache, and diarrhea. This book helps identify the substances that can provoke a toxic response--ranging from benzoates to serotonin, sorbates, and tyramines--and explains why food...

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance of Liquid Crystals
ISBN: 9789400965195 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The liquid crystalline state has been known for about a century and has been studied by many techniques. Nuclear magnetic resonance has been used to study mesophases for thirty years, but it has been in very recent years that advances in this form of spectroscopy have led to a rapid growth in its applications to the study both of liquid crystals and of solutes dissolved in them. It has become apparent that no other method of studying liquid crystals can yield such a wealth of data and it is unrivalled as a means of probing the behaviour of the molecules in mesophases. There has also been a...

ISBN: 9780313287220 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When is a crime a crime--or an act condoned by a significant portion of society? When is a criminal a criminal--or a revolutionary or a national hero? As the chapters in this collection make clear, what constitutes criminal activity varies, to a degree, among different societies and at different moments in a society's history. In this wide-ranging work, major historians of criminology and penology examine aspects of crime and criminal justice from medieval Western Europe to modern day Canada. In addition to examining crime, the judicial system, and punishment in various... When is a crime a crime--or an act condoned by a significant portion of society?

Discovered by alchemists, prescribed by apothecaries, exploited by ninth-century industrialists, and abused by twentieth-century combatants, the chemical element phosphorus has fascinated us for more than three centuries. It may even be the cause of will-o'-the wisps and spontaneous human combustion Now John Emsley has written an enthralling account of this eerily luminescent element. Shining with wonderful nuggets-from murders-by-phosphorus to a match factory strike; from the firebombing of Hamburg to the deadly...

Soldier, Sailor, Beggarman, Thief: Crime and the British Armed Services Since 1914
ISBN: 9780199653713 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The belief that crime declines at the beginning of major wars, as young men are drawn into the armed forces, and increases with the restoration of peace, as brutalised veterans are released on to a labour market reorganising for peace, has a long pedigree in Britain. But it has rarely been examined critically and scarcely at all for the period of the two world wars of the twentieth century. This is the first serious investigation of criminal offending by members of the British armed forces both during and immediately after these wars. Its particular focus is the two world wars but,...

The Great British Bobby: A history of British policing from 1829 to the present
ISBN: 9781849161978 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. The Victorians called him "Bobby" after Sir Robert Peel, the Home Secretary who created the Metropolitan Police in 1829. The generations that followed came to regard the force in which he served as "the best police in the world." If 21st- century observers sometimes take a more jaundiced view of his efforts, the blue-helmeted, unarmed policeman remains an icon of Britishness, and a symbol of the relatively peaceful nature of our social evolution. In "The Great British Bobby," Clive Emsley traces the development of Britain's forces of law and order from the earliest watchmen and constables of...

The English and Violence Since 1750
ISBN: 9781852855024 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The garrotters who terrified London in 1862, the Irish Fenians who carried our terrorist bombings in London and the gangs who dominated parts of the East End in the early years of the twentieth century all used violence to achieve their ends. Hard Men is a survey of the changing pattern of violent behaviour, public and private, in England over two hundred and fifty years. People in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were certainly more tolerant of domestic violence and rough communal sports and celebrations than their grandchildren. Contentious public meetings, notably elections, could...
