Responding to the recent upsurge of interest in Thomas Aquinas, this book goes straight to the heart of the contemporary debates about Thomism. Focuses on the concept of authority, both in terms of Aquinas’s own attitude to authority, and how the Church authorities have used Aquinas’s texts. Engages with appropriations of Aquinas’s work by a range of theologians, from liberal Catholics to the creators of radical orthodoxy. Argues for future readings of Aquinas which are substantially different...

This supplement reflects and emphasizes current research trends. Due to the vast increase in the number and types of individual quinazolines described in recent literature, the author has replaced the myriad classified tables of known quinazolines with a single alphabetical table of simple known quinazolines. To facilitate recovery of any earlier data from the tables in the original volume, a cross-reference has been added (when appropriate) to each individual entry in the new table. Contains an...

The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, since its inception, has been recognized as a cornerstone of heterocyclic chemistry. Each volume attempts to discuss all aspects – properties, synthesis, reactions, physiological and industrial significance – of a specific ring system. To keep the series up-to-date, supplementary volumes covering the recent literature on each individual ring system have been published. Many ring systems (such as pyridines and oxazoles) are treated in distinct books, each...
