Book Synopsis''I can''t think of a better way to learn about artificial intelligence, and I''ve never had so much fun along the way'' Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Option B AI is the technology of the future, but how does it actually work? A hilarious, transporting look under the hood of the technology that''s changing the world - and why it''s dumber than we thinkYou Look Like a Thing and I Love You is one of the best pickup lines ever . . . according to an artificial intelligence trained by scientist Janelle Shane, creator of the popular blog AI Weirdness. She makes silly AIs that learn how to name paint colors, create the best recipes, and even flirt (badly) with humans - all to understand the technology that governs so much of our human lives. We rely on AI every day for recommendations, for rust AI with matters of life and death, on the road and in our hospitals. But how smart is AI really . . . and how does it solve problems, understand humans, and drive self-driving cars?This hilarious introduction to the most interesting science of our time, shows us how these programs learn, fail, and adapt - and how they reflect both the best and the worst of humanity.Trade ReviewIf you're terrified that artificial intelligence is going to take over the world soon, you clearly haven't asked a computer to write pickup lines, name pets, or do anything else social or creative. Janelle Shane has, and she's the perfect tour guide to explain what machine learning can and can't do - and how it's already affecting your life. I can't think of a better way to learn about artificial intelligence, and I've never had so much fun along the way -- Adam Grant * New York Times bestselling author of ORIGINALS *If you're worried about what AI is doing to the world, this book may not exactly reassure you, but it will definitely equip you with greater understanding in a highly readable manner. Shane's sense of humor and enthusiasm for her topic shine through. Recommended for anyone who wants to better understand the strengths and limitations of artificial intelligence, but also for anyone who likes watching computers fail hilariously -- Gretchen McCulloch * New York Times bestselling author of Because Internet *Few recent innovations are so revolutionary as machine learning - and none are so poorly understood by the public, pundits, and policy makers. In You Look Like a Thing and I Love You, Janelle Shane delivers a fun, common-sense guide to the technology that's shaping our future -- William Poundstone * author of Are You Smart Enough to Work at Google? *While everyone else is making questionable predictions about the future of AI, Janelle Shane cuts through the fog by telling you how AI actually works. And, even better: she makes it fun! -- Zach Weinersmith, creator of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal * New York Times bestselling author of Soonish *Machine learning algorithms are becoming more entrenched in our everyday lives, but they're far from perfect. Janelle Shane takes readers on a light-hearted adventure into the world of machine learning in the wild, examining what these algorithms are really learning - and what they're misunderstanding completely. If you're interested in learning about machine learning and artificial intelligence, trying to understand our robot overlords, or just love weird and interesting science, you can't miss this book -- David Ha, Lead Researcher, Google BrainThis book is scary, not because of how smart AI is, but how weird and too often dysfunctional. If Janelle Shane is a real person, and not some kind of writing robot, she demonstrates the superiority of natural intelligence in the task of making a technical topic irresistibly funny and compelling -- Roy Peter Clark * author of Writing Tools *Janelle Shane's goofy experiments with AI reveal a lot about the future. This book will make you laugh, but you'll also get a crash course in how AI works-and why it's not quite ready to take over the world. A delightful way to learn about the technology that's poised to change our lives -- Annalee Newitz * author of Future of Another Timeline *Janelle Shane has hit the trifecta - the most hilarious, educational, and overall best explainer of artificial intelligence ever written (and drawn) -- Eric Topol * author of Deep Medicine *You Look Like a Thing And I Love You is an incredibly accessible, informative, and (this is equally-important) hilarious look at how the AIs deciding things around us operate. They're not magic, and they're not even that mysterious - but in Janelle Shane's hands, they're hysterical -- Ryan North * New York Times bestselling author of How to Invent Everything *Janelle Shane makes the kind of neural networks that go viral. Her quirky creations autonomously stumble and grumble ... the output of her networks is typically silly and charming in equal measure * Slate *Janelle Shane is quickly becoming the internet's neural network queen * Nerdist *An accessible primer ... illustrated with charming cartoons, oddball case studies (self-driving cars in Australia were confused by kangaroos), and wry observations about the often-hilarious failures of artificial intelligence to comprehend human contexts * Publishers Weekly *Creative and hilarious * New York Post *Janelle Shane of A.I. Weirdness is awesome * BoingBoing *

Book SynopsisThis popular text, now in a third edition, offers readers a vivid perspective on the cultural and social complexities of food practices and the current food system. Synthesizing insights from the multidisciplinary field of food studies, this book engages readers’ curiosity by highlighting the seeming paradoxes of food: how food is both individual and social, reveals both distinction and conformity, and, in the contemporary era, seems to come from everywhere but nowhere in particular. Each chapter begins with an intriguing case study and ends with suggested resources and activities. Chapter topics include identity, restaurants and food media, health, marketing, industrialization, global food, surplus and scarcity, and social change. Updates and enhancements in this edition reflect new scholarly insights into how food is involved in social media, social movements, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout, the book blends concepts and empirical accounts to address the central issues of culture, structure, and social inequality. Written in a lively, accessible style, this book provides students with an unrivalled and multifaceted introduction to this fascinating aspect of social life.Trade Review“The third edition of Food & Society builds on the considerable strengths of its predecessors to compass a lively, accessible, and engaging journey through how and why we eat the ways we do. Its classroom exercises and supplementary reading suggestions help it earn its place as an anchor text for undergraduate introductions to the food system.”Raj Patel, University of Texas “I have used this book with over a thousand undergrads. Its orientation around paradoxes provides just the right critical lens to rethink all that readers normally take for granted about food, while never letting them forget that eating habits are part of larger systems of power and inequality.”Charlotte Biltekoff, University of California “This engaging book considers the often conflicting relationships between stakeholders across the food system. Approachable case studies that include donuts, beer, and antibiotics illustrate that there are complex social structures that impact our relationship to food.”Beth Forrest, Culinary Institute of America “The third edition of this book maintains its position as a principal introduction to food studies. This edition contains a greater awareness of the global food system as revealed to many through the COVID-19 pandemic, and offers an updated discussion of the wider role of food labels and their connection to important social movements.”Cultural Sociology Praise for the Second Edition: “Food & Society gives us a fascinating introduction to the issues in food studies of greatest current concern. This exceptionally well-researched book explains why food matters so much and why it generates such intense controversy. The book may be aimed at students, but anyone interested in food issues will have much to learn from the paradoxes it presents.”Marion Nestle, New York UniversityTable of Contents1 Principles and Paradoxes in the Study of Food 2 Food and Identity: Fitting In and Standing Out 3 Food as Spectacle: The Hard Work of Leisure 4 Nutrition and Health: Good to Eat, Hard to Stomach 5 Branding and Marketing: Governing the Sovereign Consumer 6 Industrialization: The High Costs of Cheap Food 7 Global Food: From Everywhere and Nowhere 8 Food Access: Surplus and Scarcity 9 Food and Social Change: The Incremental Revolution

Book SynopsisThe authors of The Perfect Meal examine all of the elements that contribute to the diner's experience of a meal (primarily at a restaurant) and investigate how each of the diner's senses contributes to their overall multisensory experience.Trade Review"This book is in a class by itself. If you thought taste was located on your tongue, then this unique book will disabuse you of that notion and reveal how both eating and cooking are extraordinarily rich multisensory experiences." (New York Journal of Books, 1 November 2014) "Their exhaustive analyses of everything from plate size to flavour incongruities are laced with details such as cutlery's evolution from Victorian marrow scoops and chocolate muddlers to today's textured spoons and 'aromatic forks.'" (Nature, 30 October 2014) "The Perfect Meal can't fail to entertain, inform and ultimately to dazzle."—Heston Blumenthal, chef and owner of The Fat Duck "Not many people are as ready to realise the importance of the senses, not only in cooking but in eating, as Charles Spence and Betina Piqueras-Fiszman ...This book demonstrates beyond doubt that gastronomy is the most complex creative discipline that exists."—Ferran Adrià, elBullifoundation "Focusing on the brain's interpretation of our eating experience, pioneers Spence and Piqueras-Fiszman acknowledge the interdisciplinary nature of gastronomy, rendering a complex area of study both digestible and applicable."—Ben Reade, Gastronome and Head of Culinary Research and Development at Nordic Food Lab "The Perfect Meal goes beyond the exotic ingredients and creative insights of the chef and into the realm of the diner’s psychology. Using an accessible writing style that neither talks down to the reader nor dumbs down the science, the authors take us into the relatively unexplored world of the dining context: the gastrophysics of the visual, acoustic, tactile – not to mention taste and smell – influences that we are exposed to in every dining experience.This is a new approach to thinking about dining that will appeal to and inform anyone who has ever been convinced to buy a cookbook by its illustrations or who persists, despite failure, to try to get a booking at The Fat Duck."—John Prescott, Ph.D, author of Taste Matters: Why We Eat the Foods We Do "Nowadays a great many chefs are realising that science also has a place at the table; that a dining experience is made up of far more than just good food. By understanding how we use our senses to interact with and appreciate food we may be able to further enhance our guests' dining experiences. This book looks at many topics which will become increasingly relevant to both chefs and our food culture as a whole in the coming years." — Jozef Youseff, chef and author of Molecular Gastronomy at Home (www.kitchen-theory.com) "...packed with insights that are fascinating to anyone in possession of an appetite."—Amy Fleming, The Guardian "One thing is for sure, after reading this book eating out will never be the same again...."—The Oxford Martin Programme on the Future of FoodTable of ContentsForeword xiii Preface xvii 1 Introducing the Perfect Meal 1 1.1 Introduction 1 1.2 A brief history of culinary movements 2 1.2.1 Nouvelle Cuisine 2 1.2.2 The rise of molecular gastronomy 3 1.2.3 Molecular gastronomy or modernist cuisine? 5 1.2.4 On the rise of the celebrity chef 7 1.3 The search for novelty and surprise 8 1.3.1 The taste of expectation 10 1.3.2 Food as theatre: the multisensory experience economy meets cuisine 11 1.4 The brain on flavour 12 1.4.1 Neurogastronomy 12 1.4.2 Do neurogastronomists make great-tasting food? 14 1.5 Food and the perception of everything else 16 1.6 Gastrophysics: the new science of the table 18 1.7 Food perception is fundamentally multisensory 21 1.8 Isn’t modernist cuisine only for the lucky few? 22 1.9 Amuse bouche 25 References 27 2 Let the Show Commence: On the Start of the Perfect Meal 37 2.1 Introduction 37 2.1.1 Mood food 38 2.2 On the social aspects of dining 42 2.2.1 Waiting staff 42 2.2.2 The company 44 2.3 On the design of the menu 47 2.3.1 Scanning the menu: ‘Oysters, steak frites, field greens, oysters…’ 48 2.3.2 ‘This dessert is literally calling me’ 50 2.3.3 Images on the menu 52 2.3.4 On a diet?

Book SynopsisThe key to understanding technology lies not in the future--but in the past. That's the contention of Lizzie O'Shea's Future Histories, a grand tour through past and present to explore the practical--and sometimes revolutionary--possibilities of our digital age.Searching for new ways to think about our networked world, O'Shea asks what the Paris Commune can tell us about the ethics of the Internet and finds inspiration in the revolutionary works of Thomas Paine and Frantz Fanon. She examines Elon Musk's futuristic visions only to find them mired in a musty Victorian-era utopianism. Instead of current-day capitalist visionaries, O'Shea returns us to the Romantic age of wonder, when art and science were as yet undivided, narrating the collaboration between Ada Lovelace--the brilliant daughter of Lord and Lady Byron--and polymath Charles Babbage, who together designed the world's first computer. In our brave new world of increased surveillance, biased algorithms, and fears of job automation, O'Shea weaves a usable past we can employ in the service of emancipating our digital tomorrows.Trade Review"There has never been a better time to pull the politics of platform capitalism into the foreground where it belongs. Lizzie O'Shea brings a hacker's curiosity, a historian's reach and a lawyer's precision to bear on our digitally saturated present, emerging with a compelling argument that a better world is there for the taking. " -- Scott LudlamA potent, timely, and unrepentantly radical reminder of history's creative potential. Lizzie O'Shea's Future Histories should be required reading for anyone planning on surviving-and even repairing-our grim technological moment. -- Claire L. EvansThere has never been a better time to pull the politics of platform capitalism into the foreground where they belong. Lizzie O'Shea brings a hacker's curiosity, a historian's reach, and a lawyer's precision to bear on our digitally saturated present, emerging with a compelling argument that a better world is there for the taking. -- Scott Ludlam, Australian Greens * endorsement *In this splendid and entertaining book, arrestingly subtitled 'what Ada Lovelace, Tom Paine and the Paris Commune can teach us about digital technology', Lizzie O'Shea sets out to construct what she calls a 'usable past' in order to better understand our digital present and the head-spinning future which technology is devising for us. This 're-purposing' of history is not, O'Shea explains, simply an alternative interpretation of facts, rather it is an argument about what the future could be, based on 'what kinds of traditions are worth valuing and which moments are worth remembering.'In setting out her case, the author deftly defines the iniquities of the digital age; a dystopia of corporate control, data-mining, face recognition software and ubiquitous monitoring by security agencies. In other words, 'surveillance capitalism'; our modern world in which we are not the user but the product. In the context, O'Shea suggests 'smart' means 'Surveillance Marketed As Revolutionary Technology.' If Future Histories did no more than anatomize our present digital entanglement, it would merely be a useful addition to an established area of inquiry. It is the yoking together of technological advancement and progressive social movements that makes this book truly valuable. In viewing our networked world through the prism of the long (and ongoing) struggle for human rights, O'Shea has given us usable tools in the struggle to wrest control of the digital world from the likes of Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. As the old Trade Union slogan has it; 'The Past we inherit, the Future we build.' -- Peter Whittaker * The New Internationalist *

Book SynopsisNatural Flavours, Fragrances, and Perfumes Explore this one-stop resource on every relevant aspect of natural flavors and fragrances The use of sensory science has the potential to give scientists, researchers, and industry specialists a way to overcome the challenges in nutraceuticals and, more generally, in the functional food industry. Flavor and fragrance have the potential to significantly influence consumer satisfaction with products and its success in the marketplace. In order to effectively produce and optimize a customer’s experience in both food and household products, it is essential to have a strong understanding of the fundamentals of chemistry and physicochemical processes. Natural Flavours, Fragrances and Perfumes offers a comprehensive look at the sensory sciences necessary to produce the most appealing olfactory responses derived from natural resources for consumers – from the analysis and biomolecular aspects of natural products to the processing and isolation of desired products, from the perceptual properties to regulatory aspects. Specifically, the book presents novel approaches to the processes involved in producing plant-derived functional products by examining how characteristic flavors arise due to complex interactions between hundreds of molecules, as well as studying the physiological variables that affect flavor perception. Natural Flavours, Fragrances, and Perfumes readers will also find: Insights into the identification and characterization of plant volatiles, as well as chromatography techniques for sensory fingerprints Chapters devoted to biosynthesis and metabolic pathways for the development of household products composed of organic materials Additional chapters on the advances in flavor science, on technological advances in the effective delivery of flavor, and challenges in the retention and release of flavor Natural Flavours, Fragrances, and Perfumes is a useful reference for chemists of all kinds, food scientists, biotechnologists, and perfumers, as well as those studying in these fields.Table of ContentsChapter 1 - Natural Product diversity and its biomolecular aspects Chapter 2 - Sensory science and its perceptual properties Chapter 3 - Flavor technology and flavor delivery systems Chapter 4 - Identification and comprehensive characterization of plant volatiles Chapter 5 - Multidimensional chromatography techniques for sensory fingerprints Chapter 6 - Flavor signatures of beverages and confectionaries Chapter 7 - Molecular complexities in aroma chemistry and perfumes Chapter 8 - Recent advances in the processing of aromatic plants Chapter 9 - Biogenesis of plant derived aroma compounds Chapter 10 - A Sense of design: Pathway unravelling and rational metabolic-flow switching for the production of novel materials Chapter 11 - The Resinoids: Their chemistry and uses Chapter 12 - Seasonings, herbs and spices Chapter 13 - Flavor biochemistry of fermented alcoholic beverages Chapter 14 - Regulatory aspects for flavor and fragrance materials Chapter 15 - Challenges of sensory science: retention and release Chapter 16 - Virtual screening: an insilico approach to aroma compounds Chapter 17 - Endpoint: A sensory perception of the future

Book SynopsisDas Lehrbuch zur Bierbrauerei von Ludwig Narziß ist seit vielen Jahren das Standardwerk auf diesem Gebiet. Die neue, achte Auflage wurde komplett überarbeitet und aktualisiert. Für Studenten ist das Buch ein kurz gefasster Leitfaden, der jedoch alle wesentlichen Aspekte abdeckt. Der bereits im Betrieb tätige Praktiker erhält eine Fülle von Anregungen und einen umfassenden Überblick über den heutigen Stand der Brauereitechnologie sowie der naturwissenschaftlichen Grundlagen der Bierbrauerei. Neu in dieser Auflage: * das Kapitel "Die Deutschen Biertypen" * das Kapitel "Malze aus anderen Getreidearten und deren Verarbeitung" * weiterführende Literatur ab Kapitel 3 Das Autorenteam ist um drei hervorragende Fachleute auf dem Gebiet der Bierbrauerei erweitert worden. Werner Back, Martin Zarnkow und Martina Gastl (alle Technische Universität München, Weihenstephan) stehen für die kontinuierliche Weiterentwicklung dieses Lehrbuches.Trade Review"Von den Autoren wurde das Buch völlig überarbeitet, ergänzt und mit neuen Entwicklungen aus der Praxis und aktuellen Forschungsständen den Anforderungen der heutigen Zeit angepasst." DEI Die Ernährungsindustrie (01.06.2017) Dieses Lehrbuch zur Bierbrauerei ist in seiner jetzt vorliegenden 8.
