        Analytical Techniques for Natural Product Research

        by Satyanshu Kumar

        Plants are important source of lead molecules for drug discovery. These lead molecules serve as starting materials for laboratory synthesis of drug as well a model for production of biologically active compounds. Phytochemical processing of raw plant materials is essentially required to optimize the concentration of known constituents and also to maintain their activities. Extraction techniques and analytical techniques have played critical roles in phytochemical processing of raw materials. Extraction technologies from conventional extraction to green extraction as well as analytical techniques from single technique to hyphenated/coupled techniques most frequently used in phytochemistry laboratories are covered in the book.

        'The better class' of Indians

        Social rank, Imperial identity, and South Asians in Britain 1858–1914

        by A. Wainwright

        This is the first book-length study to focus primarily on the role of class in the encounter between South Asians and British institutions in the United Kingdom at the height of British imperialism. In a departure from previous scholarship on the South Asian presence in Britain, 'The better class' of Indians emphasizes the importance of class as the register through which British polite society interpreted other social distinctions such as race, gender, and religion. Drawing mainly on unpublished material from the India Office Records, the National Archives, and private collections of charitable organizations, this book examines not only the attitudes of British officials towards South Asians in their midst, but also the actual application of these attitudes in decisions pertaining to them. This fascinating book will be of particular interest to scholars and general readers of imperialism, immigration as well as British and Indian social history.

        Am Anfang ist der Tod

        Thriller | Rabenschwarzer Horror in der Hauptstadt | Eine fantastische Mischung aus Polizei- und Horrorroman

        by Jesús Cañadas

        Aus einem katholischen Mädcheninternat in Berlin ist die 16-jährige Rebecca Lilienthal verschwunden. Die beiden Kommissare Otto Ritter und Lukas Kocay machen sich auf die Suche nach ihr. Es scheint, als sei Rebecca einem Kult in Hände gefallen, der darauf spezialisiert ist, abenteuerlustige Mädchen und Frauen aus der Berliner Clubszene zu fangen, zu vergewaltigen und zu töten. Im Mittelpunkt dieser sinistren Aktivitäten steht ein Club namens »Das Loch« und dessen charismatischer Chef, der sich Laszlo Gupta nennt. Auf der Suche nach Rebecca stoßen die Polizisten auf immer mehr Hinweise auf eine »Raucherzone«, einen geheimen Ort unvorstellbarer Orgien und Laster. Und hinter Gupta zeichnet sich eine noch viel dunklere Gestalt ab: der König, ein mysteriöses, angeblich grauenhaft anzusehendes Monster. Aber wer hat den König schon je gesehen? Der Tod ist allerdings nur der Anfang und kann der Selbstermächtigung von Frauen keinen Einhalt gebieten.
