Organic Chemistry II

CC BY-NC-SA (Attribution NonCommercial ShareAlike)   English

Author(s): Xin Liu

Subject(s): Chemistry

Publisher: fun88乐天堂首页n Polytechnic University

Last updated: 14/06/2025

The central theme of Organic Chemistry II is to develop a thorough understanding of a variety of organic reactions. This book is organized into sections based on common organic functional groups and their properties and reactions. With nine chapters in total, the functional groups included in this book are alcohols, aldehydes and ketones, conjugated systems, aromatic compounds, carboxylic acids and derivatives, and carbohydrates. A notable obstacle that is consistently faced in the teaching and learning experience of Organic Chemistry II is the sheer number of organic reactions that is included in the curriculum, which can be overwhelming for students. An effective approach to learning this is to dissect and comprehend the underlying reasons behind these mechanisms, as well as identifying differences and drawing connections between reactions. Combining these aspects will form a strong foundational understanding of the complex topics included in Organic Chemistry II. Efforts are made in this book to enforce such an understanding. In the discussion of reaction mechanisms, for example, it is explained why a certain type of reaction applies to a specific functional group, why a certain reagent is required for that reaction, and how the different reaction conditions affect the mechanism. In the back matter of the book, a specialized section to explain the origin of reaction mechanism names is included, with the hopes of clarifying the meanings behind common organic reaction mechanism names.

Introduction to Criminology

CC BY (Attribution)   English

Author(s): Dr. Shereen Hassan, Dan Lett, MA

Editor(s): Leah Ballantyne, LLB, LLM

Subject(s): Crime and criminology

Publisher: fun88乐天堂首页n Polytechnic University

Last updated: 05/06/2025

Although this open education resource (OER) is written with the needs and abilities of first-year undergraduate criminology students in mind, it is designed to be flexible. As a whole, the OER is amply broad to serve as the main textbook for an introductory course, yet each chapter is deep enough to be useful as a supplement for subject-area courses; authors use plain and accessible language as much as possible, but introduce more advanced, technical concepts where appropriate; the text gives due attention to the historical 鈥渃anon鈥� of mainstream criminological thought, but it also challenges many of these ideas by exploring alternative, critical, and marginalized perspectives. After all, criminology is more than just the study of crime and criminal law; it is an examination of the ways human societies construct, contest, and defend ideas about right and wrong, the meaning of justice, the purpose and power of laws, and the practical methods of responding to broken rules and of mending relationships.

Special thanks to Leah Ballantyne, LLB LLM, a Cree lawyer from the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation in Pukatawagan, Manitoba, who provided expert Indigenous consultation/editing for this textbook.

This Open Education resource, 鈥淐ases on Social Issues: For Class Discussion 鈥� 2nd Edition鈥�, includes valuable cases for student use on issues of discrimination, diversity, equity, inclusion and general social issues in the workplace. Included are cases for discussion on workplace scenarios as follows: homophobia; working with Indigenous communities; oil and gas pipelines and the family ranch; invisible disabilities; employee anxiety; safety for women, transgender women and non-binary people; and the bullying of new immigrants and refugees. The critical events portrayed in the cases are realistic and emotional, and most feature the experiences of under-represented and marginalized people. These thoughtful, contemporary cases pose ethical dilemmas about social issues that encourage post-secondary students and instructors to have stimulating, inclusive, and compassionate discussions. Inspired by input from post-secondary students and authored by students and people who are usually under-represented in education material, this resource is designed for upper-level undergraduate or graduate students in the humanities, social sciences, business, healthcare, science, agriculture, environmental studies, Indigenous studies, land use studies, law and more. Each case is supplemented with modifiable discussion prompts, notes for teaching strategies, and a short reading list.听

Political Ideologies and Worldviews: An Introduction 2nd edition takes a 鈥減luralist鈥� approach and, in addition to being the first open textbook on its subject, also pushes back against the Eurocentric tendencies of standard textbooks by including chapters on Indigenous worldviews and Confucianism. Providing the latest scholarship on 鈥渃lassical ideologies鈥� (liberalism, conservatism, socialism, anarchism, etc.), the textbook also includes innovative chapters on populism, feminism, and multiculturalism, as well as looking at the future of ideologies in a globalized world. Joining together scholars from Canada and beyond, the text also contains discussion questions to help students and readers to think further. This new edition features more text breaks, images, tables and exercises throughout the chapters, making it even more interactive and accessible.

This open textbook will be a great asset for introductory courses at the college and university levels on political ideologies and political thought and philosophy, but could also be used in other disciplines, as each chapter assesses the state of the ideology in today鈥檚 world. The general reader looking for a better understanding of the competing ideological currents of our time 鈥� currents which flow into our daily political debates and real-life government decisions 鈥� will also greatly benefit from this book.
