orbital structure
I want of all pictures of orbital structure

Some dated material, still useful.
As a graduate student studying quantum chemistry, I find this book useful as a reference. Much of the material is somewhat outdated, but still veryapplicable and useful for understanding the underlying theory. I wouldrecommend this book for any chemist interested in understanding the theoryof quantum chemical calculations or how to interpret the results of suchcalculations. I would consider it a must for students of quantum,theoretical, or computational chemistry who need to develop anunderstanding of theory.

Dated work.Not recommended.
This old book attempts to describe basic quantum chemistry and walk onethrough a series of exercises using the Gaussian series of programs. Notreally very useful. ... Read more

Product Description
John's Gospel begins:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.He was with God in the beginning.Through him all things were made; without him, nothing was made that has been made."
This opening reflects the presentation of the Creation sequence in the first book of the Bible.Beyond this, we hypothesize that John's Gospel presents Jesus' life and ministry as a spiritual parallel to the physical creation sequence in Genesis.This makes John's Gospel markedly different form the other three Gospels, which portray a more chronological narrative.
This spiritual creation structure is employed in interpreting John's Gospel, though the interpretations are not constrained by this thought.Successive chapters in this analysis consider the successive days of the spiritual creation sequence in John's gospel; with an expositional section and an exhortational one.This couplet is repeated seven times in the book, for each of the spiritual days.In each chapter, the spiritual equivalent of the component in the 'physical day' of the Genesis creation is considered alongside the presentation of Jesus Christ in each "spiritual day" of John's Gospel.
The final chapter addresses questions of overall conceptual format to ensure that we have not "missed the forest for the trees," i.e.:
- How are the Father and Son glorified from a spiritual creation sequence embedded in a Gospel?
- Are there othe portions of scripture patterned this way and, if so, what do we gain perceiving the spiritual creation sequence within them?
- How does the perception of John's spiritual creation help us to be better disciples of Jesus Christ?
It is hoped the analysis presented in John's Creation will answer these questions and therefore prove of genuine worth to one walking the path of discipleship in Christ. ... Read more

insightful and important read
As Christians we are immersed in the gospels, but this book takes us in a different direction...back to Genesis.A refreshing look at the gospel of John.I bought this book for a personal read, but it has been used in my church for an adult bible study with great results. ... Read more

Product Description
[NB: Order by trackable shipping method to avoid risk of non-delivery.]

It begins with the Divine injunction:

Have you considered my servant Job?

The Biblical drama of Job is haunting. A blameless man is tormented by the Satan: stripped of wealth, status, possessions, health and childrenall with Gods permission! Who is this Satan? More chilling still, who is this God? And why, despite this cataclysmic carnage, does the drama focus on the resulting argument between Job and his 3 friends?

The ending of the drama seems no clearer. When God reveals Himself, what is He saying? Finally, God restores Job. Yet does this truly repair His permitted destruction of him?

With its distinctive identification of the Satan, this interpretation offers unique insights into the classic interactions between God, Satan and the Righteous Man; revealing the Messianic message encoded within. Most importantly it lends reason to persevere in faith, as Job did; and speak well of God. ... Read more

Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: William Martin Wiggins (4 August 1870 4 October 1950) was a British Liberal politician and cotton manufacturer. Wiggins was born in Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset, the son of the Reverend William Wiggins. He was educated privately. In 1896 he married Flora Coleman of Oldham in Lancashire. He was married for a second time in 1917 to Elizabeth Hayhurst of Hellifield in North Yorkshire. In 1906 Wiggins was appointed a Justice of the Peace for the Municipal Borough of Middleton, in Lancashire. Between 1914 and 1919 he was Mayor of Middleton, and was made an honorary Freeman of the Borough in 1919. In business Wiggins was a successful cotton manufacturer, a director of several spinning companies and was at one time president of the Federation of Master Cotton Spinners Associations and president of International Federation of Cotton Spinners and Manufacturers. He was also sometime president of the British Employers Confederation. Wiggins promoted education in Middleton as it was clear that the town needed a much larger school than the existing Grammar School in Boarshaw, a district in the north of the town. Together with his friend Frederick Bagot who was to become editor of the local paper in Middleton, Wiggins initiated a campaign that ended with Brasenose College, Oxford (which had run the school under the terms laid down by Queen Elizabeth I) handing over many thousands of pounds, which helped towards the building of the new school in Durnford Street, when the administration became vested in the Lancashire County Council. Wiggins entered Parliament at a by-election in 1925 at Ol...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=18605965 ... Read more

Sir John Anthony Pople, KBE, FRS, October 31, 1925 – March 15, 2004 was a theoretical chemist. Born in Burnham on Sea, Somerset, England, he attended Bristol Grammar School. He won a scholarship to Trinity College, Cambridge in 1943. He received his B. A. in 1946. Between 1945 and 1947 he worked at the Bristol Aeroplane Company. He then returned to Cambridge University and was awarded his doctorate degree in mathematics in 1951. He moved to the United States of America in 1964, where he lived the rest of his life, though he retained British citizenship. Pople considered himself more of a mathematician than a chemist, but theoretical chemists consider him one of the most important of their number. ... Read more

Excerpt: Carl Djerassi (born October 29, 1923 in Vienna, Austria), is an American chemist, novelist, and playwright best known for his contribution to the development of the first oral contraceptive pill (OCP). Djerassi is emeritus professor of chemistry at Stanford University. He participated in the invention in 1951, together with Mexican Luis E. Miramontes and Hungarian George Rosenkranz, of the progestin norethindronewhich, unlike progesterone, remained effective when taken orally and was far stronger than the naturally occurring hormone. His preparation was first administered as an oral contraceptive to animals by Gregory Pincus and Min Chueh Chang and to women by John Rock. Djerassi remarked that he did not have birth control in mind when he began working with progesterone "not in our wildest dreams did we imagine (it)". He is also the author of several novels in the "science-in-fiction" genre, including Cantor's Dilemma, in which he explores the ethics of modern scientific research through his protagonist, Dr. Cantor.

Product Description
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Johns gospel has always been a mystery. The other three gospels give a similar description of Jesus life and ministry, but John differs strikingly. Even the parables and miracles of Jesus which John describes are different! Why is this?This interpretation reveals John has deliberately arranged his gospel as a reflection of the creation sequence from Genesis. John forsakes the simple diary format of the other gospels, rather portraying Jesus character and journey in six discrete sections, each of which forms a spiritual manifestation of the physical element of the original creation by the Father.We address these questions: ...
