Two-dimensional NMR techniques have become a vital part of the chemist’s toolkit. Whether you are a novice or an expert, the problems included in this workbook were chosen to assist in honing your NMR skills. The problem sets (more than 140) are found in four sections that have been defined as less challenging, challenging, more challenging, and special problems. A few of the problems presented have some additional features that separate them from other problems. In some instances, the problems are connected via a synthetic sequence while others contain NOESY data, which enable you to study the configuration and conformation of the molecules. Answers to the first ten problems in each chapter are presented. This workbook can be used with any spectroscopy text.

Media and Their Publics

This accessible and thought-provoking book provides a critical insight into the relationship between the media and the public. It examines the way in which the public is represented, referred to and portrayed in the media, and how the media acts or speaks on the public’s behalf. 
 The first part explores the political side of the relationship between the media and the public. This includes interesting discussion of advocacy in political interviews and the discursive arrangement of political discussion programmes. 
 The second part of the book examines a range of discourses outside of the political realm. Michael Higgins looks at the construction of ordinariness, authenticity and public legitimacy, the relationship between institutional and media expertise, and the exercise of public decency. He argues that what unites the relationships between media and forms of public are their concern with wider issues of politics, governance, and cultural influence.
 The author offers a range of illustrative examples of broadcasting from US, Australian and British contexts, providing students with a rage of engaging international examples with which to draw comparisons and compare their own media experiences. Each chapter includes recommended texts for further reading and questions for discussion.
 The Media and Their Publics is an essential text for students and researchers in media studies, cultural policy and political communications.

Belligerent Broadcasting (The Cultural Politics of Media and Popular Culture)

Why is rudeness such a prominent feature of contemporary broadcasting? If broadcasting is about the enactment of sociability, then how can we account for the fact that broadcasting has become a sphere of anger, humiliation, anger, dispute and upset? And to what extent does belligerence in broadcasting reflect broader social and cultural developments? This book reflects upon and analyses the development of 'belligerent broadcasting' beginning with an examination of belligerence in its historical context and as an aspect of wider cultural concerns surrounding the retreat of civility. With attention to the various relations of power expressed in the various forms of belligerent conduct across a range of media genres, the authors explore its manifestation in political interviews, in the form of 'confrontation' in talk shows, in makeover television, as an 'authentic' means of proffering opinion and as a form of sociability or banter. Richly illustrated with studies and examples of well-known shows from both sides of the Atlantic, including The Apprentice, The Fixer, American Idol, Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, DIY SOS, The Jeremy Kyle Show and Dragon's Den, this book reflects on the consequences and potentialities of belligerence in the media and public sphere. It will appeal to scholars and students of cultural and media studies, communication and popular culture.

The Cambridge Companion to Modern British Culture (Cambridge Companions to Culture)

British culture today is the product of a shifting combination of tradition and experimentation, national identity and regional and ethnic diversity. These distinctive tensions are expressed in a range of cultural arenas, such as art, sport, journalism, fashion, education, and race. This Companion addresses these and other major aspects of British culture, and offers a sophisticated understanding of what it means to study and think about the diverse cultural landscapes of contemporary Britain. Each contributor looks at the language through which culture is formed and expressed, the political and institutional trends that shape culture, and at the role of culture in daily life. This interesting and informative account of modern British culture embraces controversy and debate, and never loses sight of the fact that Britain and Britishness must always be understood in relation to the increasingly international context of globalisation.

This book is a personal testimony of the life of Michael Higgins, founder of Jesus Loves You Love Him Back feeding ministry, based in Orlando, Florida. It chronicles Higgins' life from three different perspectives-before he started using cocaine, to the 23 years he suffered under its soul-shredding spell (losing everything dear to him in the process), to that glorious moment when God miraculously delivered him from the bondage of drug addiction and many other vices that had consumed him. It also chronicles Jesus Loves You Love Him Back feeding ministry, which God entrusted to him after he was finally clean and sober. What began in 2009, with feeding 25 homeless folks in downtown Orlando, has since mushroomed into feeding 250,000 meals, spanning four countries so far...and counting...After receiving their 501c3 early in 2014, Jesus Loves You Love Him Back feed-ing ministry now feeds the homeless once a month in Jacksonville, Daytona Beach, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota and Miami Florida. They have also done feedings in Philadelphia, PA., New York City, New Orleans, LA. Nashville, TN. Chicago, IL., Las Vegas, NV, Los Angeles, CA., Cancun, Mexico, various locations in Brazil and the Philippines.

Heretic Blood: The Spiritual Geography of Thomas Merton

In 1948, Thomas Merton, a monk from a Trappist monastery in Kentucky published the story of his life in a book called "The Seven Storey Mountain". The book became an instant best-seller and propelled him onto the world stage. Merton was first and foremost a monk, and he became one of the great monastic figures of the century. But he was also a poet, essayist, translator, cartoonist, photographer, social and political activist, and mystic. His personal and religious struggles have made him a symbol of our search for meaning in the modern world. On the 30th anniversary of Merton's death, scholar and professor Michael Higgins explores the spiritual geography of Thomas Merton.
