Попытка Николая I сделать из России образцовую казарму завершилась неудачей. Страна ожидала перемен, и такие настроения охватили буквально все слои русского общества. Новый русский царь, 36-летний Александр II (1810-1881), получивший от отца Николая I тяжелое наследие, начал в 1860-е годы самые масштабные со времен Петра Великого реформы, которые коренным образом изменили облик России.

This best-selling text, GENERAL CHEMISTRY by Whitten/Davis/Peck/Stanley, is best summarized by "classic text, modern presentation." This simple phrase underlies its strong emphasis is on fundamental skills and concepts. As in previous editions, clearly explained problem-solving strategies continue to be the strength of this student-friendly text. This revision builds on the highly praised style and applications to everyday life that have earned this text a reputation as the voice of authority in general chemistry. Whitten always has been viewed as one of the few truly "traditional" general chemistry texts. Examples of this are that the text covers Thermodynamics, normally a topic split into two parts and covered in two different semesters, in one chapter and begins the second half of the course. GENERAL CHEMISTRY, Seventh Edition also follows a standard narrative-example-problem format, has a solid traditional writing style, and promotes problem solving. However, the authors have added some new elements over the years to reflect changes in chemical education. These include adding in conceptual questions in the problem sets, adding features like the Chemistry In Use boxes to show how chemistry is used in daily life, and further promoting problem solving by including hints and checks for students.

Своей главной целью книга ставит развенчание мифов, создаваемых много лет большевистской пропагандой (о Троцком и Ленине, Дзержинском и Свердлове, их "красном терроре", о Савинкове и Менжинском, Керенском и Деникине, Врангеле и Фрунзе, Горьком и Маяковском, Литвинове и Молотове, Вышинском и Громыко, Сталине и Гитлере и других). Анализ реальных биографических фактов и событий в период прихода большевиков к власти и механизмов формирования так называемого социалистического сознания, внедрение новой экономической государственной системы, становление, укрепление и развитие репрессивного аппарата, его цели, задачи в государственной системе экономики все находится в фокусе внимания автора…

"Originally published in 1939, this enduring reference/text continues with its mission to introduce biochemistry concepts to medical and health sciences students in concise text supported with graphs, charts, and diagrams. Updating the 2003 26th edition (which was drastically revised to make it shorter), the 27th includes substantial revisions as well as new coverage of bioinformatics and computational biology. Topics are each treated in about 10 pages and are presented under the themes of: structures and functions of proteins and enzymes; bioenergetics and the metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids; metabolism of proteins and amino acids; structure, function and replication of informational macromolecules; biochemistry of extracellular and intracellular communication; and special topics (e.g. nutrition, digestion and absorption, muscle and the cytoskeleton). The authors introduce each concept with discussion of its biomedical importance."
