Download or read book Encyclopedia of Kitchen History written by Mary Ellen Snodgrass and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-12-29 with total page 2158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A space common to all peoples, the kitchen embodies the cultural history of domestic life: how people around the world acquire, prepare, cook, serve, eat, preserve, and store food; what foods we eat and why and when; what utensils, cutlery, decorations, furnishings, and appliances we create and use; what work, play, chores, services, and celebrations we perform. The history of the kitchen reflects human ingenuity solving problems posed by daily necessity and the human desire for social comfort and continuity. Kitchen history also tells us much about our interaction with others and with other cultures as well. From the history of beer, cooking stones, ergonomics, medieval kitchens, Roman cookery, pasta, and chopsticks to inventors such as Nils Dalén and George Washington Carver and cookbook authors such as Isabella Beeton and Julia Child, this A-Z Encyclopedia presents almost 300 wide-ranging entries that detail the culinary history of each topic. The Encyclopedia of Kitchen History features: *See Alsos which lead the reader to pertinent entries *Useful Sources section at the end of entries that compiles a list of books, CDs, journals, newspapers, and online databases and news sources for further research *An appendix of Common Sources- the most helpful resources on domestic histories *Numerous illustrations that explain and communicate the vibrancy of domestic culture *Thorough, analytic index that directs the reader to the people, writings, recipes, inventions, processes, and foodstuffs that make up kitchen history. From the discovery of fire to the latest space mission, the Encyclopedia of Kitchen History brings together the rich diversity of kitchen history in one accessible volume. Students, researchers, scholars, and culinary aficionados- from beginners to experts- will find this Encyclopedia to be a fascinating look into the history of the kitchen from the foodstuffs prepared to the tools and implements used as well as the innovators who shaped its function and utility.

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-10-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dis semination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 38 (thesis year 1993) a total of 13,787 thesis titles from 22 Canadian and 164 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this impor tant annual reference work. While Volume 38 reports theses submitted in 1993, on occasion, certain uni versities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Download or read book Bone Detective written by Lorraine Jean Hopping and published by Joseph Henry Press. This book was released on 2006-04-30 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diane France loves bones. Why? Because they talk to her. Every skeleton she meets whispers secrets about the life-and death-of its owner. Diane France can hear those secrets because she's a forensic anthropologist, a bone detective. She has the science skills and know-how to examine bones for clues to a mystery: Who was this person and how did he or she die? Bones tell Diane about the life and times of famous people in history, from a Russian royal family to American outlaws and war heroes. They speak to her about murders, mass disasters, and fatal accidents. One day she's collecting skeletal evidence at a crime scene. A phone call later she's jetting to the site of a plane crash or other unexpected tragedy to identify victims. Young readers will be captivated by the thrilling real-life story of this small-town girl full of curiosity and mischief who became a world-famous bone detective.

Download or read book The Science of Gardening written by David Whiting and published by . This book was released on 2014-01-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Science of Gardening was originally written as the training manual for Colorado Master Gardener Program. The overall objective here was to be research based (rather than the same old folklore that has been passed down through the generations) and to focus on developing diagnostic skills. It is the textbook for the Colorado Gardener Certificate Program, an online suite of mini-courses on gardening offered by Colorado State University Online. I also use it as the textbook for Hort100, Horticultural Science, a general science class in the Colorado State University system. This is a large class limited to 250 students (due to lack of classroom space). This is 4 credit course (3 lectures and one lab per week). Due to time limitations, there are a few chapters in the book not covered. The approach in developing the curriculum was to first identify the learning objective; that is what we expect the students to be able to do upon completion of a unit/chapter. Then the text, PowerPoint, and lab activities were developed to help the student learn and practice the learning objectives. The PowerPoint files for lecture follows the textbook paragraph by paragraph, with the same artwork. This makes it easy for students to follow along in the textbook, rather than trying to take extensive written notes on everything. (Student love it). Since I do a lot of distance education teaching, my PowerPoint are design as a visual graphic with rapid slide change. I try to get close to the PBS Standard of a graphic change every 20 seconds of lecture. While not there, I'm rather close. (In contrast, broadcast TV and movies have a graphic change at least every 5 seconds. So our students loose interest fast when a PowerPoint slide stays on the screen for minutes while the professor goes down a list of items or moves beyond the slide content.) So my slides have few words, lots of original graphics, and change constantly. A 50 minutes lecture typically has 100 slides that change quickly. I'm willing share my PowerPoint files and lab activities with other instructors with the understanding that they use the textbook, The Science of Gardening, as a required text. Local adaptation - The curriculum was written for the Colorado and greater high plains/rocky mountain region. That is, I illustrate concepts with common insects and diseases of this area, and work with regional climatic scenarios. I've had students from all around the country in my online course, and they seem to have little concerns about adapting it to their growing situation. As an instructor in another climate area, you could readily add in local climatic information and swap some illustrations of common insects and diseases for those that are big problems locally. Also in areas there landscape irrigation is not routine, you may want to skip this unit. Student Feedback - Student feedback has been amazing for a textbook. They describe the book as filled with practical information that they will apply in their gardening activities. It is common to hear students state that this was their favorite class in the college experience due to the practical information that it contains and enthusiasm of the instructor. Students often want to keep the book for future reference.
