One of the first books dedicated to the emerging field of neutron protein crystallography (NPC). It covers all of the practical aspects of NPC and demonstrates how NPC can explore protein features such as hydrogen bonds, protonation and deprotonation of amino acid residues, and hydration structures.
The author has been to the future a few years ahead of the rest of us - and reckons it has a lot going for it. This book tracks one curious man's journey to find out what's in store.
Philip's Stargazing is the perfect practical guide for both budding and experienced astronomers. Covering Britain and Ireland, the new 2022 edition has been completely revised to ensure it is totally up-to-date for exploring the wonder of the night skies, month-by-month and day-by-day.
