Las raíces cósmicas de la vida

A study covering the gas-phase chemistry of organometallic ions. Topics covered include: periodic trends in gas-phase thermochemistry of transition metal-ligand systems; ab initio calculations to determine electronic structure, geometric structure, and thermochemistry of metal-containing systems; electronic state effects on metal ion reactivity; organometallic ion photochemistry; and applications of gas-phase electron transfer equilibria in organometallic redox thermochemistry. Also included are state-of-the-art mass spectrometric instrumentation used in such studies. It also features a...

In the 1930s a band of smart and able young men, some still in their twenties, helped Franklin D. Roosevelt transform an American nation in crisis. They were the junior officers of the New Deal. Thomas G. Corcoran, Benjamin V. Cohen, William O. Douglas, Abe Fortas, and James Rowe helped FDR build the modern Democratic Party into a progressive coalition whose command over power and ideas during the next three decades seemed politically invincible. This is the first book about this group of Rooseveltians and their linkage to Lyndon Johnson's Great Society and the Vietnam War debacle. Michael...

Observar aves por los espacios naturales de la Comunidad de Madrid. Animar a tan sencilla, poco conocida y, a la vez, gratificante práctica de ocio es el objetivo de esta guía, que cuenta con el respaldo y supervisión de SEO/BirdLife y de la Consejería de Medio Ambiente y Ordenación del Territorio de la Comunidad de Madrid. Del Retiro a la Casa de Campo, del río Lozoya al Tajo, del hayedo de Montejo a los encinares del suroeste y de Peñalara a los cortados del Jarama, numerosas especies de aves revolotean, se posan, nadan y cantan. Y todo ello puede ser observado en vivo y en directo....
