Introduction
The search for new medicinal products is one of the major driving forces behind the development and application of new synthetic methods. This unit focuses on a specific case study, which follows the development of a drug for the treatment of high blood pressure. It is a particularly good example of the application of organic chemistry in the pharmaceutical industry, and illustrates the scientific processes that are involved in the development of any new drug.
Introduction This case study looks at Aberdulais Falls near Neath, South Wales. This is a place of great natural beauty, but also an important industrial heritage site. The course considers the key issues affecting the decision-making of the bodies which are responsible for looking after our heritage. For example, who decides what should be preserved from the past as our heritage, who is this heritage for, and how should it be presented and explained? In this case study, we examine the heritage debates ar
Introduction This unit will give you an opportunity to think about some of the key concepts and methods of the discipline of religious studies.

1.5 Looking back and moving on This unit has introduced you to the main learning components of the unit and also outlined some academic skills. However, the key question is: what have you learned that you did not know when you started the question? When you reach the end of a section it is a good idea to review the work you have completed. Although most people feel fairly confident reading steadily through a section from start to finish, there will be situations where it is more important to read through quickly to i
