After the Great War, British men and women grappled with their ignorance about sexuality and desire. Seeking advice and information from doctors, magazines, and each other, they wrote tens of thousands of letters about themselves as sexual subjects. In these letters, they disclosed their uncertainties, their behaviors, and the role of sexuality in their lives. Their fascinating narratives tell how people sought to unleash their imaginations and fashion new identities.

This book describes structural and catalytic roles of metal ions in RNA in an authoritative and timely manner. It deals with diffuse metal ion binding, RNA quadruplexes, the regulation of riboswitches, metal ions and ribozymes, including artificial ribozymes. The spliceosome, the ribosome, ribozymes involving redox cofactors as well as the binding of kinetically inert metal ions to RNA are also covered.

These sulfur-rich chelators, being important in metal ion homeostasis, find increasing attention. MILS-5, written by 30 internationally recognized experts, focuses on this hot topic. This book is an essential resource for scientists working in the wide range from environmental toxicology and inorganic biochemistry all the way through to physiology and medicine.

Organometallics in Environment and Toxicology highlights in an authoritative and timely manner environmental cycles of elements involving organometal(loid) compounds as well as the analytical determination of such species. This book examines methane formation involving the nickel coenzyme F430, as well as the organometal(loid) compounds formed by tin, lead, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, selenium, tellurium, and mercury.

The occurrence of a wide variety of metal-carbon bonds in living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans, is only recently appreciated. Of course, the historical examples are the B12 coenzymes containing cobalt-carbon bonds, but now such bonds are also known for nickel, iron, copper, and other transition metal ions. MILS-6, written by 20 experts, summarizes the most recent insights into this fascinating topic.

MILS-8 deals with the risk assessment of toxic metal ions and their interdependencies focusing on humans and their organs; thus it carries on the topic of MILS-7 that centered on the environment. This book is of special relevance for researchers in toxicology, enzymology, health and safety institutions, those dealing with industrial safety regulations, and also for analytical, bioinorganic, and environmental chemists.
