From his impoverished upbringing to his tragic suicide in exile, Kazan's life and work reflected a turbulent period in Japan's history. He was a famous artist, a Confucian scholar, a student of Western culture, a samurai, and a critic of the shogunate who, nevertheless, felt compelled to kill himself for fear that he had caused his lord anxiety. During this period, a typical Japanese scholar or artist refused to acknowledge the outside world, much like a "frog in the well that knows nothing of the ocean," but Kazan actively sought out Western learning. He appreciated European civilization and bought every scrap of European art that was available in Japan. He became a painter to help his family out of poverty and, by employing the artistic techniques of the West, achieved great success with his realistic and stylistically advanced portraits. Although he remained a nationalist committed to the old ways, Kazan called on the shogunate to learn from the West or risk disaster. He strove to improve the agricultural and economic conditions of his province and reinforce its defenses, but his criticisms and warnings about possible coastal invasions ultimately led to his arrest and exile. Frog in the Well is the first full-length biography of Kazan in English, and, in telling his life's story, renowned scholar Donald Keene paints a fascinating portrait of the social and intellectual milieus of the late Tokugawa period. Richly illustrated with Kazan's paintings, Frog in the Well illuminates a life that is emblematic of the cultural crises affecting Japan in the years before revolution.Asia perspectives.PaintersJapanBiographyJapanIntellectual life1600-1868Painters759.952BKeene Donald479439Watanabe Kazan1793-1841.1563244MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777637003321Frog in the well3831489UNINA04569nam 22006495 450 991035782100332120240306155232.03-030-28733-510.1007/978-3-030-28733-7(CKB)4100000009939791(MiAaPQ)EBC5984527(DE-He213)978-3-030-28733-7(PPN)242849555(EXLCZ)99410000000993979120191123d2019 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Art of Writing Reasonable Organic Reaction Mechanisms /by Robert B.

The discussion is organized by types of mechanisms and the conditions under which the reaction is executed, rather than by the overall reaction as is the case in most textbooks. The treatment emphasizes unifying principles, showing how common mechanisms link seemingly disparate reactions. Each chapter discusses common mechanistic pathways and suggests practical tips for drawing them. Worked problems are included in the discussion of each mechanism, and “common error alerts” are scattered throughout the text to warn readers about pitfalls and misconceptions that bedevil students. Each chapter is capped by a large problem set. The author has drawn on his own research and the current literature to ensure that appropriate attention is given to topics across the range of modern organic chemistry. The text is unique in its inclusion of a chapter on reactions mediated or catalyzed by transition metals, an area in which mechanistic understanding is now essential. More modern topics such as olefin metathesis and cycloaromatization are covered without giving short shrift to more traditional areas such as carbonyl chemistry. The text assumes a basic knowledge of organic chemistry. It can be used either in a formal course or by students working on their own, and will be particularly useful for graduate students studying for qualifying examinations. It will also be useful to students and researchers in biochemistry, pharmacology, and inorganic chemistry. The third edition includes greater discussion of the reactions of biological cofactors such as thiamine and pyridoxal, and discussions of modern developments such as metal-catalyzed C–H activation reactions have been added. In terms of stylistic improvements, the author has introduced color into drawings to improve visual clarity and has improved the depictions of radical anions and radical chain reactions. .Chemistry, OrganicBiochemistryPharmacologyChemistry, InorganicPolymersOrganic Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C19007Biochemistry, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14005Pharmacology/Toxicologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B21007Inorganic Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C16008Polymer Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C22008Chemistry, Organic.Biochemistry.Pharmacology.Chemistry, Inorganic.Polymers.Organic Chemistry.Biochemistry, general.Pharmacology/Toxicology.Inorganic Chemistry.Polymer Sciences.547.139Grossman Robert Bauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut150761MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910357821003321Art of writing reasonable organic reaction mechanisms77830UNINA
