Piano duets, whether on one piano or two, are great fun to play. Their technical demands range from the very simple to the extremely difficult; every pianist, whether amateur or professional, will always find in the vast repertoire something to suit his or her capabilities. Keyboard Duets describes the chronology of the piano duet and music for two pianos, from their earliest beginnings to the present day, investigates various technical problems, and also provides a selective list of original duets with genuine musical or historical interest.

The first source on this expanding analytical science, this reference explores advances in the instrumentation, design, and application of techniques with electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL), examining the use and impact of ECL-based assays in clinical diagnostics, life science research, environmental testing, food and water evaluation, and the detection of biowarfare agents. Compiled by the pioneer of this highly innovative technology, this volume provides contributions from 16 leading authorities. They discuss the simulation of ECL behavior using commercial software, summarize key characteristics of organic ECL systems, and cover developments in metal chelate ECL.

A team of acclaimed medical writers track the impact of one deadly drug and its lethal course through the politics of modern medicine in this high-tech medical thriller perfect for fans of Robin Cook.In the emergency room of St. Catherine’s Hospital, the death of a healthy seventeen-year-old girl due to a massive cerebral hemorrhage leads Dr. Gabe Austin to an investigation of a web of fraud, corruption, and murder. In his search, Gabe uncovers two cases similar to the St. Catherine teen’s death, with all three victims having took the new drug Virzaine, Kimberly Lab’s hottest, FDA-sanctioned wonder drug. With the help of Kate Reilly, his Yale Medical School love, Gabe tracks down Kimberly’s chairman, who offers him a lucrative consulting deal and a septuagenarian scientist whose precise experiments promise chilling answers to the Virazine puzzle. As the hunt quickens, Gabe uncovers an elaborate corporate coverup engineered by top-level strategists, enforced by payrolled conmen, and fueled by potentially staggering drug benefits. A thriller of unremitting excitement, filled with authentic and fascinating detail, No Deadly Drug pits one man’s persistence against raw greed in a life-or-death race guaranteed to keep readers on the edge of their seat.
