Sommario/riassunto

What's new in dendrimer research? Just as these fascinating giant molecules are continuing to ramify, new perspectives and challenges continue to emerge. This bestseller on dendritic molecules discusses the latest developments in the synthesis and application of these macromolecules. It gives a comprehensive, up-to-date account of the topic, from the historical overview and theoretical background up to the most recent achievements. Having shaped this scientific field, the authors are able to brilliantly combine the basic principles with a wealth of more advanced information. The optimal presentation of the structural features of dendrimers helps readers to quickly understand even sophisticated syntheses. For special synthetic problems, the well-selected, detailed list of references allows easy access to further literature. This monograph will undoubtedly prove to be of interest for both beginners and advanced scientists in organic and pharmaceutical chemistry, as well as material science.

Sommario/riassunto

Offering a new approach to the study of religion and empire, this innovative book challenges a widespread myth of modernity-that Western rule has had a secularizing effect on the non-West-by looking closely at missionary schools in Bengal. Parna Sengupta examines the period from 1850 to the 1930's and finds that modern education effectively reinforced the place of religion in colonial India. Debates over the mundane aspects of schooling, rather than debates between religious leaders, transformed the everyday definitions of what it meant to be a Christian, Hindu, or Muslim. Speaking to our own time, Sengupta concludes that today's Qur'an schools are not, as has been argued, throwbacks to a premodern era. She argues instead that Qur'an schools share a pedagogical frame with today's Christian and Muslim schools, a connection that plays out the long history of this colonial



encounter.
