First of all, the second edition of Globalization as well as Nuclear Power were the two titles that made a major breakthrough within the popular Very Short Introductions series, which celebrates the publication of the 300th title this month. The series combines authoritative analysis, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make often challenging topics highly readable. Nuclear Power was due to be published in May, but attracted a lot of attention in response to the nuclear meltdowns triggered by the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami of 3.11 as a result. Globalization brings the discussion of globalization fully up to date with developments in the last few years, including areas such as terrorism, global politics, and environmental issues from the previous edition that was published in 2003. With regards to academic and professional books, Oxford Handbooks series in the area of linguistics published in the last two years were especially successful. Among them was Oxford Handbook of Linguistics Minimalism, which stood out from the crowd. The book provides a complete assessment of current achievements and challenges of the Minimalism Program established by Noam Chomsky 15 years ago, with contributions from 37 leading researchers from around the globe. As for Higher Education textbooks, Atkins' Physical Chemistry (9780199543373) by Peter Atkins is probably the best known OUP textbook in Japan. While the readership of this one reaches students at all stages of their Bachelors and Masters Chemistry degree programmes, Elements of Physical Chemistry (9780199226726) provides basic grounding and simplified explanations of key physical chemical principles for undergraduates studying first and second year modules. The Solutions Manual to accompany Elements of Physical Chemistry (5th Edition) ranked in this year. The latter contains full worked solutions to all end-of-chapter discussion questions and exercises featured in the book. It is an ideal supplement for students who have varied amounts of background knowledge but require Physical Chemistry within the larger curriculum.  Downloadable Best of 2012 list (Excel) You can use this list as the order sheet   2011年、学術・一般書部門のタイトルで、今回ランクインしたもののうち特筆すべきものをご紹介します。 まず、今月300タイトル目を刊行することになったVery Short Introductionsシリーズからは、Globalization の第2版(9780199552269)とNuclear Power (9780199584970) の躍進が目につきました。 同シリーズは専門家による分析や新しい見解を盛り込みながら、難解なテーマを分かりやすく解説する入門書のシリーズですが、Nuclear Power は元々5月に刊行が予定されていたもので、3月11日の東北地方太平洋沖地震を端緒として発生した福島原発事故を受け、多くの方に手にとっていただいたようです。 Globalizationは、最新の動向を網羅すべく、過去数年の間に「グローバル化」を語る上で避けて通ることのできなくなったテロリズム、地球政治、地球環境といった問題について2003年刊行の旧版から内容を大幅に増補改訂したものです。 専門書では、Oxford Handbooksのシリーズ、特に言語学分野のもので過去2年の間に刊行されたタイトルが健闘しました。中でも抜きんでていたのがOxford Handbook of Linguistic Minimalism です。 日本からの上智大学の福井直樹教授と慶應義塾大学の北原久嗣教授を含む、この分野の第一人者37名が寄稿しており、15年ほど前にノーム・チョムスキーが提唱したミニマリスト・プログラムに関する最新の成果と課題を凝縮した一冊です。 大学教科書ではピーター・アトキンス著Atkins’ Physical Chemistry (9780199543373)が大変よく知られていますが、こちらが学部から修士レベルまで幅広い読者層を想定しているのに対し、Elements of Physical Chemistry 第5版（9780199226726）は、学部1-2年生の利用を念頭に物理化学の原理をもっと簡明に解説するものです。今回、こちらの教科書の解答解説書、The Solutions Manual to Elements of Physical Chemistry第5版がランクインしました。教科書中の練習問題、および各章末の演習問題の解き方、考え方、式の使い方を解説するものです。物理化学を補助科目とする周辺領域の学生にも十分理解できるように配慮されているものです。  Best of 2011 リスト (Excel) 注文書としてもご利用いただけます。 Overall  |  Humanities |  Social Sciences |  Natural Sciences |  Dictionary |  Linguistics |  Law |  Oxford Handbooks |  Oxford World’s Classics |  Very Short Introductions Overall Ranking Student's Solutions Manual to Accompany "Atkins' Physical Chemistry"   by  Peter Atkins; Charles Trapp; Marshall Cady; Carmen Giunta  (ISBN: 9780199288588 )   Globalization: Very Short Introductions   by  Manfred Steger  (ISBN: 9780199552269 )   Justice: A Reader   by  Michael J Sandel  (ISBN: 9780195335125 )   Gulliver's Travels: Oxford World's Classics   by  Jonathan Swift  (ISBN: 9780199536849 )   Modern Japan: Very Short Introductions   by  Christopher Goto-Jones  (ISBN: 9780199235698 )   Nuclear Power: Very Short Introductions   by  Maxwell Irvine  (ISBN: 9780199584970 )   Psychology: Very Short Introductions   by  Gillian Butler; Freda McManus  (ISBN: 9780192853813 )   Game Theory: Very Short Introductions   by  Ken Binmore  (ISBN: 9780199218462 )   The Oxford Handbook of Linguistic Minimalism: Oxford Handbooks in Linguistics   by  Cedric Boeckx  (ISBN: 9780199549368 )   Racism: Very Short Introductions   by  Ali Rattansi  (ISBN: 9780192805904 )   Racism: Very Short Introductions   by  Ali Rattansi  (ISBN: 9780192805904 )   Humanities The Oxford Handbook of Linguistic Minimalism: Oxford Handbooks in Linguistics   by  Cedric Boeckx  (ISBN: 9780199549368 )   Oxford Modern English Grammar:   by  Bas Aarts  (ISBN: 9780199533190 )   Mapping the Left Periphery: v. 5: Cartography of Syntactic Structures: Oxford Studies in Comparative Syntax   by  Paola Beninca; Nicola Munaro  (ISBN: 9780199740369 )   The Origins of Grammar: Language in the Light of Evolution II: Oxford Studies in the Evolution of Language   by  James R.
