Handbook of Alcoholic Beverages: Technical, Analytical and Nutritional Aspects
Handbook of Alcoholic Beverages is a comprehensive text that describes the science and technology involved in the production of the world's alcoholic beverages. The text describes the major fermentation process that produces these drinks and the major chemical, physical, and technical processes that accompany the production of these beverages are discussed. The multidisciplinary approach used in the book also emphasizes more recent developments and innovations, but with sufficient background for less experienced readers. The book also unifies different beverages in different chapters with extensive cross-referencing and comparison between the subjects.
How do we choose what to eat? Buffeted by health claims--should we, for example, restrict our intake of carbs or fats or both? Is organic food better for us?--we become confused and tune out. In supermarkets we buy semi-consciously, unaware that our choices are carefully orchestrated by sophisticated marketing strategies concerned only with the bottom line. That we should confront such persuasion is the major point made by nutritionist-consumer advocate Marion Nestle in her extraordinary What to Eat, an aisle-by-aisle guide to supermarket buying and thus an anatomy of American food business.
This book is concerned with two major issues: the role of the economic bourgeoisie in the emergence of democracy, and the nature and role of the new class of businessmen that has emerged in post-Soviet Russia. Through extensive analysis of the emergence and role of a new business class in Britain, France, Germany, and the USA at the time of their respective ‘industrial revolutions’ (with a brief comparative look at the pre-Soviet tsarist bourgeoisie), it explores the assumptions and conclusions of the major theories linking class and democratisation.
James Joyce is one of the most revered and influential writers of the 20th century. This Irishman transformed novelistic conventions through experimentation in language and narrative structure. 'Ulysses', 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man', and the stories that make up his collection 'Dubliners' are among the major works discussed in this invaluable guide for the student writer. Bloom's How to Write about James Joyce guides students on how to write constructive essays on Joyce and provides suggestions for paper topics, coverage of the author's major works, and an introductory essay by Yale professor Harold Bloom.
