Unravelling Civilisation
This volume is a collection of contributions about the history and practice of travel and travel writing from a variety of academic disciplines including anthropology, history, linguistics and literary criticism. It brings together scholars from over ten different countries and reflects on what travel is and how travel writings function. It traces the history of travel and travel writing and the notion or idea of a European civilisation that permeates performances and perceptions. The notion of Europe appears as a set of quality standards as well as guidelines for experiences against which civilisations are measured. This set of standards and guidelines, however, is far from stable. It is a floating foundation carrying different versions of Europe throughout time. The authors tackle the problem from different angles: travels from Europe across the seven oceans transported the idea of European civilisation just as travels to Europe or within Europe. The volume explores the different meanings attached to the term 'Europe' and 'civilisation' throughout history and shows how different political or cultural contexts affect the notion of what Europe is or should be.
Unravelling Molecular Docking - From Theory to Practice
Molecular docking is an important computational tool in modern drug discovery, structural biology and biomolecular studies. The docking methods in this book are discussed concisely and practically, with key topics including docking algorithms, scoring function, ligand and receptor flexibility, and AI-assisted optimization. Real-world examples, such as virtual screening and lead optimization, as well as protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions, are covered in detail. With a balance of theory and practice, the book is a must-read for students, researchers and professionals in computational chemistry, pharmacy and biomedicine.
