Sommario/riassunto

Dr Parke’s monograph examines how Fijians, especially in western areas of Fiji, currently understand and explain the origins and development of the social and political divisions of late pre-colonial traditional Fijian society. It assesses the reasoning, consistency and, where possible, the historical accuracy of such understandings. The oral history research which forms the backbone of the study was conducted in either standard Fijian or one or other of the western Fijian dialects with which Dr Parke was familiar. The period on which the monograph concentrates is the two centuries or so immediately prior to the Deed of Cession on 10 October 1874. A number of the major chiefs of Fiji had offered to cede Fiji to Queen Victoria; and after the offer had been accepted, Fiji became a British Crown Colony on that day. The volume will be of interest to all archaeologists, anthropologists and historians with an interest in Fiji. It will also be of wider interest to Pacific Studies scholars and those of British colonial history as well as historians with a wider interest in indigenous traditional histories and their role in governance today.

Nota di contenuto

Introduction : what are dendrimers and dendrons? -- Syntheses of poly(propyleneimine) dendrimers (PPI) -- Synthesis of poly(amidoamine) dendrimers (PAMAM) -- Syntheses of poly(ether) dendrimers -- Syntheses of poly(ester) dendrimers -- Synthesis of poly(lysine) dendrimers -- Syntheses of silicon-containing dendrimers -- Syntheses of phosphorus-containing dendrimers -- Syntheses of carbon-based dendrimers -- Syntheses of dendrimers constituted of nitrogen heterocycles -- Syntheses by self-assembly -- Accelerated syntheses.

Sommario/riassunto

This book will be mainly focussed on the properties and uses of dendrimers and dendrons. The aim of this book is to be the reference book about dendrimers applications. It will not describe all details, but it will give the reader a unique overview of what has currently been done with dendrimers, with numerous references and illustrations. It



will be divided in four main parts: Part 1) Generalities, syntheses, characterizations and properties; Part 2) Applications in catalysis; Part 3) Applications for the elaboration or modification of materials; and Part 4) Applic
