Book SynopsisThis is a collection of writings by the American chemist and home economist, Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards.From the Preface by Kazuko Sumida:Ellen H. Swallow Richards (1842–1911) was the first woman graduate and staff member at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the first woman professional chemist in the U.S. She was known mainly as a founder of the American home economics movement and, to a lesser extent, as the mother of American public health. Her contribution included not only the establishment of the standards for water analysis, but also the provision of school lunches, food and environmental education, and the consumer movement. Through such activities, Richards showed people a new direction to follow for modernized home and urban life. She is deserving of special attention as a woman who was active both academically and socially from the late 19th century to the early 20th century when the foundation of modern society in the U.S. was laid.This collection provides primary sources which will enable the reader to have a proper understanding of the thoughts of Richards who advocated a science of environment as early as the 19th century. She considered environment to be a total whole, and was active in pursuit of what science, human possibility or development should be. For her, environmental education was strongly linked to social and ethical issues, and the key to the solution for these was the very human activities in daily life affecting their environment. Richards, whose cooperative belief that ‘man is a part of organic nature, subject to laws of development and growth’ (Euthenics) was a basis of daily life, cannot be called merely a material feminist—(which a certain scholar classified her as). What she had in mind means ‘the man in the community environment’.These materials are essential for interdisciplinary research that includes multiple fields such as the history of science, of education, of ideas, social history of the U.S., sociology, and feminism as well as home economics and public health. The thoughts and lifelong activities of Richards will show us a direction at which we ought to aim in current everyday life.Table of ContentsVolume 1First Lessons in Minerals (Boston: Press of Rockwell and Churchill, 1882 [1st ed. 1880]), 32pp.The Chemistry of Cooking and Cleaning (Boston: Whitcomb and Barrows, 1897 [1st ed. 1882]), 166pp.Food Materials and their Adulterations (Boston: Estes and Lauriat, 1886), 183pp.Home Sanitation: A Manual for Housekeepers (Boston: Ticknor and Co., 1887), 80pp.‘The Relation of College Women to Progress in Domestic Science’, PACA Series II, No. 27, 1890, 10pp.‘Domestic Science, What it is and How to Study it at Home’, The Outlook, Vol. 55, No. 17, 27 Apr. 1897, 3pp.Volume 2The Cost of Living as Modified by Sanitary Science, 2nd enlarged ed.

Book SynopsisThe story of how wine, as enjoyed by millions of people today, came to be.Trade Review"Rather than an eternal cultural verity, wine is the product of innovative discontinuities, according to this flavorful history.... [Lukacs’s] absorbing treatise shows just how much the grape’s bounty owes to human ingenuity and imagination." -- Publishers Weekly"Noted American oenophile Lukacs tells the story of wine over eight millenniums and around the globe. Themes of interest to oenophiles, from wine’s longtime disrepute in North America to England’s love affair with Bordeaux, and fascinating details—for instance, the unearthing of 26 casks of wine in King Tut’s tomb—heighten the pleasure of this engrossing narrative. A richly readable and authoritative addition to the literature of wine." -- Kirkus Reviews"In highly readable prose, Lukacs tells the story of winemaking’s worldwide history, recounting such ever-fascinating stories as the discovery of champagne and the creation of phenomenally unctuous and costly wines from what appear to be overripe, rotten grapes." -- Booklist"Just when it seemed that there was nothing new to be said about wine, Paul Lukacs tells an intriguing and original tale that is thoroughly enjoyable reading." -- Mark Kurlansky, author of Birdseye: The Adventures of a Curious Man and Salt: A World History"Inventing Wine makes us grateful as wine lovers that we are living in the second golden age of wine, when the quality and choices far exceed anything possible before." -- Paul Jameson - New York Journal of Books"Paul Lukacs’s Inventing Wine focuses on how the perception of wine has changed over time, through wars, revolution, prosperity and deprivation. ... Inventing Wine is broader and more ambitious in scope than his previous books, looking at how wine and Western civilization grew up together." -- Dave McIntyre - Washington Post

Book SynopsisThe octanol-water partition coefficient is a laboratory-measured property of a substance. It provides a thermodynamic measure of the tendency of the substance to prefer a non-aqueous or oily milieu rather than water (i.e. its hydrophilic/lipophilic balance). Partition coefficients are used extensively in medicinal chemistry, drug design, ecotoxicology and environmental chemistry. The partition coefficient is recognized by governmental and international agencies (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, OECD) as a physical property of organic pollutants equal in importance to vapour pressure, water solubility and toxicity. Octanol-Water Partition Coefficients is a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the thermodynamics of partitioning and of the octanol-water pair. In addition, all current methods of measurement are reviewed, strengths and weaknesses are noted and recommendations for particular applications are given. Current methods of calculation of partition coefficients are similarlyTable of ContentsThermodynamics and Extrathermodynamics of Partitioning. Experimental Methods of Measurement.

Book SynopsisSensory evaluation is the perception science of the food industry. Sensory data can be costly to obtain and so gleaning the most information possible from the data is key. Increasingly, value is added to sensory evaluation by the use of statistics, especially to improve the quality of product development and to make the most of market research. Nonparametrics for Sensory Science is written to complement existing parametric methodology. Nonparametric methods are appropriate when facts are only available in nominal or ordinal form, and when the model assumptions necessary for parametric procedures do not hold. Author Rayner and his colleagues consider problems including the most commonly occurring and important experimental designs: the one-sample, k-sample, blocked samples, samples with factorial structure and samples with correlation structure. Innovative new techniques are outlined and complemented with real examples. Techniques described may be applied to data where the traTable of ContentsPreface. 1. Introduction. 2.

Book SynopsisWhile botanically quite different, coffee, cocoa and tea are often considered together in the teaching of students of horticulture or agriculture. This is because all three represent plantation cash crops that are used as stimulant beverages and are grown in many of the warmer, less developed regions of the world. While there are a number of specialist books available on aspects of each individual crop, as well as grower manuals focusing on particular regions, there is currently no book that provides a general introductory overview of the scientific principles underlying production of all three crops. This book fills this gap, and will serve as a broad-based text for students of agriculture, horticulture and food science, as well as professionals seeking an overview of the topic.Table of ContentsPart I: Introduction and Overview 1.1: Stimulant Beverage Crops 1.2: Origins and Distribution of Coffee, Cocoa and Tea 1.3: Production and Markets Part II: Coffee 2.1: Botany and Plant Improvement 2.2: Climatic Requirements, Soil Requirements and Management 2.3: Field Management 2.4: Mineral Nutrition and Fertilizers 2.5: Pests, Diseases and Weed Control Part III: Cocoa 3.1: Botany and Plant Improvement 3.2: Climatic Requirements, Soil Requirements and Management 3.3: Field Management 3.4: Mineral Nutrition and Fertilizers 3.5: Pests, Diseases and Weed Control Part IV: Tea 4.1: Botany and Plant Improvement 4.2: Climatic Limitations, Soil Requirements and Management 4.3: Field Management 4.4: Mineral Nutrition and Fertilizers 4.5: Pests, Diseases and Weed Control Part V: Processing 5.1: Crop Processing at the Plantation and for Retail Sale

Book SynopsisFood safety is currently one of the most important issues confronting consumers, producers and distributors. It cannot be dealt with as just a physical problem but must be considered as a multi-dimensional one, affected by politics, economics and social influences. This book focuses on the specific example of food safety in the beef industry in the USA, Canada, the UK and Australia. It outlines the experience of a number of countries with food safety problems (such as BSE) and examines:drivers for change and institutional arrangements within the four countrieswhether there is a socially optimal approach to food safetyhow much consumers can rely on the industry to police itself and governments to look after their interestsIt also examines the implications for competitiveness and world trade.Table of Contents1: Introduction 2: International Institutional Arrangements 3: The United States 4: Canada 5: The United Kingdom 6: Australia 7: Towards an Optimal Food Safety System 8: How are they Doing? 9: Epilogue 10: Bibliography/References
