In focusing upon the issue of women’s pleasure, and not only upon their ability to conceive, V differs dramatically from the medical and legal texts, all of which deal obsessively with the issue of conception. V does not comment on this assumption but seems to share Babhravya’s belief that women do have orgasms and not to share his belief that they have them continually. Also covered are the chemistry and biochemistry of nitric oxide and peroxynitrite, the chemistry and biochemistry of DNA radicals, the role of radicals in myeloperoxidase, lignineperoxidase, radicals and cardiovascular injury, radiation and the fragmentation of cells and tissues.Babhravya’s assumption (in contrast with Auddalaki’s) is that a woman, like a man, emits semen during orgasm and that her seed, like his, is necessary for conception. The most relevant topics covered are the EPR detection of radicals in biochemical systems and in pollutant formation and degradation, oxidation processes in biology and in the troposphere, radiation and induced damage, and atmospheric pollutants arising from incomplete combustion. Free Radicals in Biology and Environment draws together two important areas of free radical chemistry, using as a bridge the fundamental physical chemistry of free radicals (spectroscopic detection of free radicals, evaluation of absolute rate constants, elucidation of mechanisms of free radical reactions and catalysis, photochemical and radiation processes, etc.). Our understanding of the quantitative aspects of free radical chemistry and the involvement of radicals in such areas as biology, medicine, the environment, etc., has developed spectacularly over recent years, yet the various topics are commonly discussed separately, in specific meetings and specialised publications.
