This up-to-date introduction to the most fundamental ideas of molecular orbital theory leads the reader through a clear and nonmathematical presentation of electronic structure, geometry, and reactivity of molecules. The authors are recognized authorities in this field and their qualitative approach makes this primary text very accessible to advanced undergraduates as well as graduate students. The many diagrams of molecular orbitals provide a great insight into the theoretical ideas discussed.

This is a well-written, poignant memoir of a womans unhappy childhood and a brave and gripping account of her triumph over alcoholism. The details of Jeans personal anguish and the obvious authenticity of her report on a life very nearly gone amiss demonstrate the kind of clout that only an honest personal account can have. The frank way the book addresses the sensitive issues of alcoholism and domestic violence, and the vivid recall and dramatic impact with which some scenes are described, make this a powerful testament. Both inspirational and informative, also about the role AA played in her life once she admitted she had a problem. The author stopped drinking 33 years ago and after achieving sobriety her career flourished and she opened her own business in 1985. She is now in her seventies and semi-retired, and has grandchildren who regard her as a cool gran, something that would not have been possible if she hadnt stopped drinking.The manuscript would not only appeal to help-seeking addicts or to those already in rehab, but very strongly, too, to family members and friends of such persons who are often in great need of information and support. This is a personal testimony that will be helpful to many people.

The state of college students' mental health is a growing phenomenon across university campuses. Educators often watch students struggle with academic, social, financial, and familial issues. Over the past decade, these issues have led to an increasing number of students exhibiting behavior related to anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders. Raising Mental Health Awareness in Higher Education: Emerging Research and Opportunities describes the current state of college students' mental health in the United States, influences that contribute to wavering mental health, factors that promote flourishing mental health, and interventions that support mental health. While highlighting present programs and activities, readers will find new methods that can be implemented to support the needs of college students. This book is an important resource for staff and faculty in postsecondary institutions seeking current research on the growing problem of mental health in higher education.

This is a very short adventure or day-out story that is ideally suitable to children who are just beginning to be taught how to read and need to be assisted by plenty of pictorial material (in this case, photographs). The tone of the story is deliberately sweet, blurring the boundary between soft toy and generous adult. It covers territory that is very familiar to the age group in question: days out in the park, a visit to the drama school, personal hygiene, taking care of nature, and so on. Small kids will find a fond friend in Mr. Cuddles!
