Funny Food - 365 Fun, Healthy, Silly, Creative Breakfasts By Bill & Claire Wurtzel Welcome Books | March 2012 | ISBN-10: 1599621118 | PDF | 192 pages | 54 mb http://www.amazon.com/Funny-Food-Healthy-Creative-Breakfasts/dp/1599621118 TheyΓÇÖre easy. TheyΓÇÖre silly. TheyΓÇÖre healthy. TheyΓÇÖre clever. TheyΓÇÖre artistic. TheyΓÇÖre delicious. TheyΓÇÖre fun. TheyΓÇÖre a great way to start the day. One breakfast at a time, Bill and Claire Wurtzel are determined to make you laugh and eat and play and laugh some more. Riffing over the years with oatmeal, eggs, apples, and nuts, it is finally ours to shareΓÇªFunny Food! Not since Joost ElffersΓÇÖ Play With Your Food has food been so ridiculous and so endlessly diverting. Parents and children will giggle through breakfast. Teachers and students can laugh some more making snacks or desserts after lunch. This is a book filled with nothing but engaging spontaneity and simplicity that makes you say, ΓÇ£I can do that.ΓÇ¥ And, you can...the consequences are yummy. These are not your motherΓÇÖs smiley-face sandwiches. In BillΓÇÖs world, carrots turn into airplanes; boiled eggs into jugglers, and pears into guitar players. As gracefully as PicassoΓÇÖs ceramic plates found endless form so do WurtzelΓÇÖs portraits, which seem to grow out of almost anythingΓÇöcheerios and bananas; lox and bagels; oatmeal, blueberries, and strawberries. Sometimes you think he is portrait artist and you could swear you just saw Sigmund Freud emerging from a pear or Shakespeare growing out of an apple. Sometimes the plates are just plain fanciful. ΓÇ£Your breakfasts donΓÇÖt have to look like theyΓÇÖll hang in the Louvre,ΓÇ¥ he says. ΓÇ£ItΓÇÖs the gesture that counts.ΓÇ¥ But it sure looks like he riffed on MatisseΓÇÖs paper cutout dancers with a papaya.

High-publicity cases about foodborne illnesses over recent years have heightened public awareness of food safety issues, and momentum has been building to find new ways to detect and identify foodborne pathogens and eliminate food-related infections and intoxications. This extensively revised 4e covers how the incidence and impact of foodborne diseases is determined, foodborne intoxications with an introduction noting common features among these diseases and control measures that are applicable before and after the basic foodstuff is harvested.

Eco-Library Design by John A. Flannery and Karen M. Smith Springer | April 2014 | ISBN-10: 9400740778 | PDF | 238 pages | 34.6 mb http://www.amazon.com/Eco-Library-Design-John-A-Flannery/dp/9400740778 The ancient pairing of architecture and books has always been an interesting topic for debate, and the increasing popularity of electronic books has recently added fuel to the fire. However, the bonfires built for the printed version remain unlit. Research undertaken for this publication suggests that the traditional reading room is currently enjoying a renaissance in many different guises, with print and digital media enjoying a symbiotic relationship. The digital revolution is just one of the many challenges faced by the library architect. To satisfy the varied requirements of library users, flexible, future proof, indoor and outdoor spaces must now support both passive and active pursuits. These often contrasting demands can vary dramatically from quiet, contemplative reading to audible public performance. This publication explores in detail the evolution of the eco-library, focusing on how design teams cope with diminishing resources in diverse geographic and climatic conditions. The featured projects demonstrate measurable reductions in both construction and operating costs through innovative designs that utilise the ecology of a selected site in a positive way. A library development will now inevitably seek to lead by example, visibly demonstrating sound environmental practice, and providing an enhanced user experience for increasingly more discerning patrons. Eco-Library Design provides a worldwide perspective on 21st century trends in library architecture.

Battles That Changed the World (Magbook) English | PDF | 100 pages | 50.1 mb Following on from the first successful Battlefields Magazine Against All Odds this second edition Battles that Changed the World is about decisive battles that have altered the course of history. This time the focus is on Hastings 1066, Waterloo in 1815 and Stalingrad 1942-3. The Battle of Hastings is a watershed being the last time a foreign invader has successfully seized and held the British Isles. Since 1066 no foreign power has successfully crossed the English Channel or North Sea, although the Spanish Armada in 1588, Napoleon in 1803-5 and HitlerΓÇÖs Wehrmacht in 1940 all tried. Defeat at Hastings resulted in 4,000 Saxon Thegns, the traditional English nobility, losing their ownership of land overnight to 200 Norman barons. It was a defining moment in British history. Afterwards England had a new language, laws, church, aristocracy and a new system of government enabling 10,000 Normans to hold 1 million Saxons in thrall. Waterloo in 1815 is another battle defining the future history of Europe and was to herald the future development of the British Empire. It ended 23 years of unbroken French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars and ushered in a period of general peace and prosperity, which with few exceptions was to last until 1914. The political map of Europe was redrawn in a form that would be recognizable to contemporaries today. Waterloo was the last mass battle of the 19th Century pre-industrial age to be fought in Europe over such a small physical area. Conflict was never again to be conducted in such splendid uniforms. The next major war would be fought in drab grey and khaki from the trenches of the First World War. HitlerΓÇÖs defeat with the capitulation of the Sixth Army at Stalingrad in February 1943 was one of the turning points of the Second World War. It shattered the ascendancy of Wehrmacht Blitzkrieg established in 1939-40. Turkey was deterred from joining her traditional German ally while Hungary, Romania and Italy, who all lost sizable contingents during the battle were dismayed and encouraged to seek a way out of the war. Russia and the Allies realised for the first time that they would win. As with the previous two examples, the outcome of this one battle was world changing. CONTENTS 4.

Human Spaceflight and Exploration by Carol Norberg Springer | May 2013 | ISBN-10: 364223724X | PDF | 320 pages | 18.2 mb http://www.amazon.com/Human-Spaceflight-Exploration-Springer-Praxis/dp/364223724X The book presents a unique overview of activities in human spaceflight and exploration and a discussion of future development possibilities. It provides an introduction for the general public interested in space and would also be suitable for students at university. The book includes the basics of the space environment and the effects of space travel on the human body. It leads through the challenges of designing life support systems for spacecraft as wells as space suits to protect astronauts during extravehicular activities. Research being carried out by humans in Earth orbit is being brought into context to other forms of space exploration. Between the end of 2007 and May 2009 ESA, the European Space Agency, carried out an astronaut recruitment process. It was the first time that astronauts had been recruited newly to the corps since its creation in 1998 and the positions were open to citizens of all of the member states of ESA. Two of the contributors to this book participated in the selection process and hence contribute to a general discussion of how one carries out such a selection programme. The book concludes with one personΓÇÖs experience of flying aboard the space shuttle on a mission to map planet Earth, bringing together topics taken up in earlier parts of the book.

Along the way, she offers priceless tips: such as what can be made ahead (like her garlic-ginger-soy-citrus marinade that can be used with just about anything or a freezer staple like fish stock) or how to coax flavor out of a chicken with a garlic rubdown. These are recipes that will work every time. And with Anne by your side, reminding you to set up, taste, season, check, and be patient, you'll also get in on the secrets (including tricks for bouncing back from mistakes) that she's picked up over the years in some of the best restaurant kitchens and from working with people trying to be better home cooks, just like you.
