Nothing makes Horus happier than being with his family in their jungle home. But the human bulldozers are about to move in on his paradise. Not only will the destruction of all the trees leave his family homeless, the rising temperatures due to climate change are about to leave his species with no food - meaning Hummingbirds could be gone forever. With his dad missing and no bird willing to make a stand, Horus needs a miracle. So when he hears of a mystical bird called the 'Bird of Destiny' who can listen to the wind and change the future, he makes it his mission to find this extraordinary bird so they can save his species and shake up the humans so they see how climate change is killing the planet. But does the Bird of Destiny truly exist? Can Horus save Hummingbirds from extinction? And will he ever get to see his dad again?

With increasingly intricate relations between international and domestic law, as well as practices and conventions, intellectual property and food interact in many different ways. This volume is a timely consideration and assessment of some of the more contentious and complex issues found in this relationship.

This concise volume offers undergraduate students of chemistry an introduction to the mathematical formalism encountered in problems of molecular structure and motion. The author presents only two main topics from mathematics and two from the calculus of orthogonal functions and the algebra of vector spaces from mathematics; and from physics, the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulation of classical mechanics and its applications to molecular motion.The chosen topics possess particular relevance to modern quantum chemistry, especially in regard to the application of quantum mechanics to molecular spectroscopy. Mathematics for Quantum Chemistry develops the foundations for a physical and mathematical background in quantum chemistry in general, and for molecular spectroscopy in particular. It assumes a knowledge of calculus through partial derivatives and multiple integration, a year of physics, and chemistry through a year of physical chemistry.
