The Changing Politics of Organic Food in North America explores the political dynamics of the remarkable transition of organic food from a Ôfringe fadÕ in the 1960s to a multi-billion dollar industry in the 2000s. Taking a multidisciplinary, institutio
Nylon, Plexiglas, Dynamit: Viele industrielle Erzeugnisse "verdanken" wir den Prinzipien der organischen Chemie. Prinzipien, die Chemiestudenten vielfach als trockenen Lehrstoff ohne jeden praktischen Bezug büffeln müssen. Dass es auch anders geht, zeigen Green und Wittcoff. In zehn knappen Kapiteln verknüpfen sie die Theorie mit industriellen Prozessen - ein Gewinn nicht nur für Studenten, sondern auch für Lehrende. Da die meisten Chemiestudenten in ihrem späteren Berufsleben mit Problemen der organischen Chemie konfrontiert sein werden, sollte diese breite Zielgruppe nach Ansicht der beiden Autoren schon vom Beginn ihrer akademischen Ausbildung an über industrielle Produkte und Prozesse informiert werden. Organic Chemistry Principles and Industrial Practice beschreibt die Geschichte der industriellen Chemie, liefert wertvolle, sonst kaum zugängliche Informationen und bietet nicht zuletzt auch zahlreiche Anekdoten aus dem reichen Erfahrungsschatz der Autoren. Beide sind langjährige Dozenten. Sie liefern eine leicht zu lesende, klar strukturierte Einführung, die tieferes Verständnis der Grundlagen der organischen Chemie und ihrer Anwendungen ermöglicht. Das Werk eignet sich hervorragend als Ergänzung zu den Lehrbüchern, kann aber auch von Studenten höherer Semester, Laborassistenten, Chemieingenieuren und Chemikern in der Industrie genutzt werden. Die Autoren zeigen unter anderem, wie aus Petroleum nützliche Dinge werden, gehen auf die zentrale Rolle der elektrophilen aromatischen Substitution ein, erzählen die "Nylon-Story", beschäftigen sich mit Polyethylen, Polypropylen und den Grundlagen der Stereochemie und vergessen auch natürliches Gummi und andere Elastomere nicht.
Written by one of the pioneers of industrial chemistry, this seminal work provides a comprehensive overview of the field. It covers everything from basic chemical principles to the practical applications of organic chemistry in everyday life.

"Organic Chemistry Principles in Context: A Story Telling Historical Approach" takes a path that is a radical departure from the way all other textbooks of this subject are written. The principles of organic chemistry are discovered by investigation of the complex phenomena that arise from application of these principles, crossing the spectrum from the academic to the biological to the industrial. All the fundamental principles of organic chemistry normally presented in an undergraduate one year organic chemistry course are found in this book in the context of the stories and the people involved in their discovery. The students who have used this book have found it to be an attractive and effective method of learning organic chemistry. The teachers of the subject have found that the book enhances their own appreciation and love of the subject. The author of the book, Professor Mark M. Green, has organized a free access web site with a link to the answers to all of the problems at the end of every section of the book. In addition this web site, OrganicChemistryPrinciplesinContext.com, has links to explanatory video lectures made by Professor Green for each of the book's twelve chapters.
In 1947, when J. I. Rodale, editor of Organic Gardening, declared, "the Revolution has begun," a mere 60,000 readers and a ragtag army of followers rallied to the cause, touting the benefits of food grown with all-natural humus. More than a half century later, organic farming is part of a multi-billion-dollar industry, spreading from the family farm to agricultural conglomerates, and from the supermarket to the farmer's market to the dinner tables of families all across America. In the organic zeitgeist the adage "you are what you eat" truly applies, and this book reveals what the dynamics of organic culture tells us about who we are. Rodale's goal was to improve individuals and the world. American Organics shows how the organic movement has been more successful in the former than the latter, while preserving connections to environmentalism, agrarianism, and nutritional dogma. With the unbiased eye of a cultural historian, Robin O'Sullivan traces the movement from agricultural pioneers in the 1940s to hippies in the 1960s to consumer activists today—from a counter cultural moment to a mainstream concern, with advocates in highbrow culinary circles, agri-business, and mom-and-pop grocery stores. Her approach is holistic, examining intersections of farmers, gardeners, consumers, government regulations, food shipping venues, advertisements, books, grassroots groups, and mega-industries involved in all echelons of the organic food movement. In American Organic we see how organic growing and consumption has been everything from a practical decision, lifestyle choice, and status marker to a political deed, subversive effort, and social philosophy—and how organic production and consumption are entrenched in the lives of all Americans, whether they eat organic food or not.
Class-tested and thoughtfully designed for student engagement, Principles of Organic Chemistry provides the tools and foundations needed by students in a short course or one-semester class on the subject. This book does not dilute the material or rely on rote memorization. Rather, it focuses on the underlying principles in order to make accessible the science that underpins so much of our day-to-day lives, as well as present further study and practice in medical and scientific fields. This book provides context and structure for learning the fundamental principles of organic chemistry, enabling the reader to proceed from simple to complex examples in a systematic and logical way. Utilizing clear and consistently colored figures, Principles of Organic Chemistry begins by exploring the step-by-step processes (or mechanisms) by which reactions occur to create molecular structures. It then describes some of the many ways these reactions make new compounds, examined by functional groups and corresponding common reaction mechanisms. Throughout, this book includes biochemical and pharmaceutical examples with varying degrees of difficulty, with worked answers and without, as well as advanced topics in later chapters for optional coverage. Incorporates valuable and engaging applications of the content to biological and industrial uses Includes a wealth of useful figures and problems to support reader comprehension and study Provides a high quality chapter on stereochemistry as well as advanced topics such as synthetic polymers and spectroscopy for class customization
