RSC Books Blog

Our new, streamlined online Bookshop will very soon go live! Its many novel features make browsing our vast collection of print and eBooks much easier and faster, allowing you to stay up to date with the most recent cutting-edge discoveries and developments in the chemical sciences.

• The Bookshop homepage showcases our selected new publications, forthcoming publications and highlights, with their prices and cover images, to save you time if you’re looking for a specific item.
• Should you be in the mood to browse and don’t have a particular book in mind already, you can search through both our published and forthcoming books, accumulating filters to pinpoint exactly the topics you are interested in. We also have a counter which ticks over with every filter that you add, to show how many books are available with your search terms.
• Are you a Bookseller or Author? The Bookshop has tabs packed with useful information relevant to you regarding catalogues, E-Alerts, promotional material, publishing guidelines and recent reviews.
• If you’re stuck for present ideas, the Bookshop also contains a whole tab dedicated to Gift suggestions.
• Our Add to Basket and Checkout procedures are much more straightforward, so you can buy what you want when you want. Perfect for our busy clients. You can also pre-order forthcoming books to ensure you don’t miss out on the most popular titles.

So keep an eye out for our fresh new page. We hope you enjoy your shopping experience with us.

The first Zing Computational Chemical Biology conference will take place from the 6th to the 9th of August 2015. It will bring together scientists to discuss multidisciplinary research that leverages computer simulation to address key questions crossing the physical sciences-life sciences/biomedical interface. In particular, the conference will feature sessions focusing on the development and application of novel and state-of-the-art computational tools and technology for solving major problems in the life and biomedical sciences.

Topics will include advances in molecular dynamics simulation of enzymes; computational approaches to studying the interaction of drugs, drug transporters and signalling enzymes with lipid membranes; simulation of protein-protein interaction and multi-protein complex enzymatic systems; computational study of signalling pathways; new techniques in computational drug discovery as they apply to enzyme reactivity and dynamics; simulation of allosteric interactions; advances in multi-scale modelling; new techniques for direct simulation of reactivity in biological systems; and the impact of technological advances in computer hardware and software on the field of chemical biology.

The conference will feature lectures by established leaders in the fields, as well as encouraging young and talented researchers to present both challenging questions and new ideas for solving them. The aim is to encourage a collegial atmosphere to promote stimulating and insightful discussion while enjoying the beauty of tropical Cairns, Australia.

The first Computational Chemical Biology Conference will take place from the 6th to the 9th of August 2015 in Cairn, Australia

We’ve hand-picked recently published volumes including Soils and Food Security, Environmental Impacts of Modern Agriculture and Ecosystem Services to feature at the forthcoming Global Change and Biosphere Interactions scientific meeting. 

On 8-9 April 2013 the British Ecological Society (BES) and the York Environmental Sustainability Institute (YESI) will be hosting a major international scientific meeting, Global Change and Biosphere Interactions as part of our centenary and celebrating the launch of YESI. 

Focused on sustainable solutions to global environmental change, the conference will feature major international speakers covering current advances in our understanding of the past, present and future consequences of human impacts on the earth system. Contributions will reach across disciplines, spanning physical, natural, social sciences and humanities to address the causes and consequences of global change and the implications for policy. There will be extensive opportunities for discussing the role of interdisciplinary research in understanding the impacts of global change and identifying new research which will allow us to mitigate and adapt to these impacts.  For details of the programme and speaker please see the BES website. 

The Monday afternoon’s programme is followed by a public lecture Professor Georgina Mace and wine reception (please indicate attendance at these when registering). 

Early bird registration is now open until Friday 8 March at £75 for BES and YESI members and £95 for non-members, which includes all sessions, lunch and refreshments over the two days.  Accommodation and dinner can be booked on top of this.  We are now also offering a day rate of £50.
