The consumption of petroleum has surged during the 20th century, at least partially because of the rise of the automobile industry. Today, fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas provide more than three quarters of the world's energy. Unfortunately, the growing demand for fossil fuel resources comes at a time of diminishing reserves of these nonrenewable resources. The worldwide reserves of oil are sufficient to supply energy and chemicals for only about another 40 years, causing widening concerns about rising oil prices. The use of biomass to produce energy is only one form of renewable energy that can be utilized to reduce the impact of energy production and use on the global environment. Biomass can be converted into three main products such as energy, biofuels and fine chemicals using a number of different processes. Today, it is a great challenge for researchers to find new environmentally benign methodology for biomass conversion, which are industrially profitable as well. This book focuses on the conversion of biomass to biofuels, bioenergy and fine chemicals with the interface of biotechnology, microbiology, chemistry and materials science. An international scientific authorship summarizes the state-of-the-art of the current research and gives an outlook on future developments.

Systematic Nomenclature of Organic Compounds aids chemical communication through the presentation of methods and their use in forming reasonable, acceptable, and unambiguous names for organic compounds. It uses common language so that nomenclature is useful and understandable for both undergraduate and graduate students. A diagrammatic presentation is used to provide a comparison of different nomenclature operations for some compounds with some typical structures. Examples are discussed in a systematic step-by-step approach. This text contains fourteen chapters covering all aspects of nomenclature, including Main Principles, Classification, IUPAC Nomenclature of Hydrocarbons, Nomenclature of compounds with two different functional groups, Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Fused Polycylic Aromatic and Unsaturated Hydrocarbon, Carbocyclic Compounds, Heterocyclic Compounds, Bridged Systems, Spiro Hydrocarbons, Terpenoids, Steroids, Macrocyclic Compounds, and Stereochemical notations.
