This title contains the expertise of 250 leading chemists worldwide. It critically evaluates the preparative applicability and significance of the synthetic methods, discusses relevant background information and provides detailed experimental procedures.

The Science of Synthesis Editorial Board, together with the volume editors and authors, is constantly reviewing the whole field of synthetic organic chemistry as presented in Science of Synthesis and evaluating significant developments in synthetic methodology. Several annual volumes updating content across all categories ensure that you always have access to state-of-the-art synthetic methodology.

Catalytic reductions are among the most used synthetic transformations, and the past 15 years have seen great progress in this field. Science of Synthesis: Catalytic Reduction in Organic Synthesis includes the latest developments, as well as selective coverage of more well-established methods. Both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalytic systems are covered, and enantioselective methodology is well represented. There is a focus on the use of metal nanoparticles, both in suspension as well as on solid supports. Furthermore, the advent of research on the conversion of renewable resources into fuels and chemicals has given a great impetus to the field, as deoxygenations are often the first step in the conversion of biomass and this can often be achieved using hydrogenation or hydrogenolysis reactions. Scope, limitations, and mechanism of the reactions are discussed and key experimental procedures are included.

Training in NeurorehabilitationThe importance of physical therapy for neurological disease cannot be underestimated. Stroke, for example, is the second leading cause of death worldwide, and its global effect is considerable, based on disability-adjusted life years. With an aging population, the risk of stroke increases exponentially with age, and accordingly, the number of patients increases as well. It follows that specially tailored neurorehabilitation regimens are crucial in helping patients return to the workplace and maintain their independence.This concise and practical work, created by authors with decades of experience in the practice and teaching of physical therapy, serves that purpose well, with its emphasis on the targeted use of training equipment to match the patients'' exact needs.Key Features:Concise, practical, and goal-orientedProvides expert guidance in creating individualized training regimens with the goal of training and enhancing endurance, strength, and balanceAn emphasis on types of equipment and instructions for their use, tailored specificallythe individual needs of patientsAll training exercises are well illustrated for optimal understandingAuthor team with more than 30 years'' experience in practice and teaching of physical therapyLamprecht''s Training in Neurorehabilitation is certain to be an essential reference for all students and practitioners in physical therapy involved in the treatment of patients with neurological disorders.
