Drying and Roasting of Cocoa and Coffee

Drying and Roasting of Cocoa and Coffee

This is the first practical book dedicated to the fundamental and application aspects of two major unit operations in cocoa and coffee processing namely drying and roasting. The drying and roasting of cocoa and coffee beans play critical roles in governing the formation of flavor precursors in the early stages and also the development of flavor and aroma in the later stages during processing. Hence qualities of the finished chocolates and coffee powder products are affected greatly by the dried and roasted beans produced. Drying and Roasting of Cocoa and Coffee covers key topics areas ranging from post-harvest processing equipment selection physical and chemical changes during processing flavor development grading and dried product quality. The book consists of two parts with topics dedicated to the drying/roasting aspects of cocoa and coffee respectively. Features Provides a comprehensive review on flavor development during cocoa/coffee processing Discusses the impact of processing parameters on cocoa/coffee quality Presents the new trends in drying/roasting techniques and novel technology Examines the concept of coffee quality in light of both paradigms: the traditional coffee and the specialty coffee grading systems No prior knowledge of cocoa and coffee processing is required to benefit from this book which is written for a variety of readers.

Philosophic Classics: Ancient Philosophy Volume I

Philosophic Classics: Ancient Philosophy Volume I

This seventh edition of Philosophic Classics Volume I: Ancient Philosophy includes essential writings of the most important Greek philosophers along with selections from some of their Roman followers. In updating this edition editor Forrest E. Baird has continued to follow the same criteria established by the late Walter Kaufmann when the Philosophic Classics series was first established: (1) to use complete works or where more appropriate complete sections of works (2) in clear translations (3) of texts central to the thinker’s philosophy or widely accepted as part of the canon. To make the works more accessible to students most footnotes treating textual matters (variant readings etc. ) have been omitted and important Greek words have been transliterated and put in angle brackets. In addition each thinker is introduced by a brief essay composed of three sections: (1) biographical (a glimpse of the life) (2) philosophical (a résumé of the philosopher’s thought) and (3) bibliographical (suggestions for further reading). New to this seventh edition: Changes in translations: New translations of Plato’s Apology and Phaedo and Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics and Politics from the acclaimed Focus Philosophical Library Series. New translations of Plato’s Euthyphro and Crito. New translations of Epicurus’s Letter to Herodotus Letter to Menoeceus and Principal Doctrines. New translation of the Parmenides fragments. Additional material: Gorgias’s model oration Encomium on Helen which gives a defense of Helen of Troy. A selection from Plato’s Gorgias on nature versus convention or law . Additional material from the opening of Plato’s Symposium to contextualize the dialogue. Additional material from Plato’s Republic (Book IX) on the tri-partite soul. Additional material from Aristotle’s Metaphysics (Book IV 1-4 7) on the nature of being and the so-called three rules of thought. A brief selection from Porphyry’s Life of Plotinus giving a sense of the person. Updated and reorganized bibliographies. To allow for all these changes a section of Book V from Plato’s Republic has been dropped. Those who use this first volume in a one-term course in ancient philosophy will find more material here than can easily fit a normal semester. But this embarrassment of riches gives teachers some choice and for those who offer the same course year after year an opportunity to change the menu. | Philosophic Classics: Ancient Philosophy Volume I

White Sororities and the Cultural Work of Belonging

White Sororities and the Cultural Work of Belonging

Charlotte Hogg takes a close look through the example of White university sororities at how we create and cling to subcultures through the notion of belonging and how spoken and unspoken rhetorics contribute to this notion. Renewed calls to end Greek-letter organizations for racism and sexism including increased scrutiny on White women’s social justice failings have intensified. But as Hogg shows rhetorics of belonging have always occurred amid and even in response to anti-GLO sentiment. She shows how rhetorical efforts by members for members foster belonging for insiders while also seeking to appease those on the outside. In her analysis Hogg positions the study of rhetoric beyond traditional methods of persuasion to show how we communicate and participate in communities as citizens in subtle ways beyond speaking and writing. Through engaging narrative drawing on her experiences as a member of a White sorority archival research and interviews with collegians and alumni she shows how efforts toward belonging can influence particular beliefs about womanhood in complex ways. This thought-provoking volume will interest scholars and students from a range of disciplines including rhetoric and communication studies gender studies feminism sociology cultural anthropology and history. | White Sororities and the Cultural Work of Belonging

Pliny and the Eruption of Vesuvius

Pliny and the Eruption of Vesuvius

Pliny and the Eruption of Vesuvius is a forensic examination of two of the most famous letters from the ancient Mediterranean world: Pliny the Younger’s Epistulae 6. 16 and 6. 20 which offer a contemporary account of the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79. These letters sent to the historian Tacitus provide accounts by Pliny the Younger about what happened when Mt Vesuvius exploded destroying the surrounding towns and countryside including Pompeii and Herculaneum and killing his uncle Pliny the Elder. This volume provides the first comprehensive full-length treatment of these documents contextualized by evidence-rich biographies for both Plinys and a synthesis of the latest archaeological and volcanological research which answers questions about the eruption date. A new collation of sources results in a detailed manuscript tradition and an authoritative Latin text while commentaries on each letter offer copiously referenced insights on their structure style and meaning. Pliny and the Eruption of Vesuvius offers a thorough companion to these letters and to the eruption which will be of interest not only to those working on Vesuvius Pompeii and Herculaneum and the works of Pliny but also to general readers Latin students and scholars of the Roman world more broadly.

Never has a politician received so much written support in so short a time.

The Hidden Cinema British Film Censorship in Action 1913-1972

How does film censorship work in Britain? Jim Robertson's new paperback edition of The Hidden Cinema argues that censorship has had a far greater influence on British film history than is often apparent creating the `hidden cinema' of the title. Robertson charts the role of the British Board of Film Censors established in 1913 and the histories of a variety of noteworthy films including Battleship Potemkin and No Orchids for Miss Blandish and revealing how censorship continues to exert a marked influence on many important films - like the controversial A Clockwork Orange - some of which have now vanished from British screens altogether. This edition includes a brand new section on Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris immediately engulfed in censorship wrangles on its release in 1972. | The Hidden Cinema British Film Censorship in Action 1913-1972
