1000 tulosta hakusanalla Lorna J Shaw
The 20th Anniversary Edition of the classic cookbook from the leading authority on speed-cooking, Cooking Under Pressure by Lorna Sass offers a mouthwatering array of extraordinary dishes that can be prepared in minutes--from classic ossobucco to chocolate cheesecake--using a pressure cooker. A James Beard Award-winning cookbook author and food writer who has written for the Washington Post, New York Times, Food & Wine, Woman's Day and other publications, Lorna Sass shows you how to turn out meals in one-third the time of conventional methods without sacrificing moisture, flavor, aroma, or nutritional content. Newly updated and revised for contemporary tastes and more efficient machines, Cooking Under Pressure is the cookbook that inspired a whole generation of home cooks to dust off their pressure cookers.
Cellular Materials in Nature and Medicine

Cambridge University Press
2010
sidottu
Bringing to life the fascinating structures and unique mechanics of natural and biomedical cellular materials, this book is an expert guide to the subject for graduates and researchers. Arranged in three parts, it begins with a review of the mechanical properties of nature's building blocks (structural proteins, polysaccharides and minerals) and the mechanics of cellular materials. Part II then describes a wide range of cellular materials in nature: honeycomb-like materials such as wood and cork; foam-like materials including trabecular bone, plant parenchyma, coral and sponge; and composites of cellular and dense materials such as iris leaves, skulls, palm, bamboo, animal quills and plant stems. Images convey the structural similarities of different materials, whilst color property charts provide mechanical data. Part III discusses biomedical applications of cellular materials: metal foams for orthopedic applications and porous scaffolds for regenerating tissues, including the effect of scaffold properties on cell behavior.
In this new edition of their classic work on Cellular Solids, the authors have brought the book completely up to date, including new work on processing of metallic and ceramic foams and on the mechanical, electrical and acoustic properties of cellular solids. Data for commercially available foams are presented on material property charts; two new case studies show how the charts are used for selection of foams in engineering design. Over 150 references appearing in the literature since the publication of the first edition are cited. The text summarises current understanding of the structure and mechanical behaviour of cellular materials, and the ways in which they can be exploited in engineering design. Cellular solids include engineering honeycombs and foams (which can now be made from polymers, metals, ceramics and composites) as well as natural materials, such as wood, cork and cancellous bone.
Nyae Nyae !Kung Beliefs and Rites

With style and depth, Lorna Marshall leads the reader through the intricacies, ambiguities, and silences of Kung beliefs. Her narrative, based on fieldwork among the Bushmen of the Kalahari in the early 1950s, brings into focus a way of life that appears to have existed for millennia. She presents the culture, beliefs, and spirituality of one of the last true hunting-and-gathering peoples by focusing on members of different bands as they reveal their own views. This account, with photography by John Marshall, presents a system of beliefs, one in which personified deities and unpersonifled supernatural forces (n ow and n/um) interact with man and the natural world. The Kung believe that this interaction accounts for much of the mystery of life and the vicissitudes of the good and evil that befall mankind. The book also depicts an egalitarian lifestyle based on sharing and group awareness, a lifestyle that has not survived intact the increasing integration of the Bushmen into the modern world.A companion volume to her 1976 work, "The Kung of Nyae Nyae," this book is published to mark the recent one-hundredth birthday of Lorna Marshall.
Sisters Leona and Jeanette Heptner are two extraordinary ordinary people who both taught grade school in Wyoming. This book is their history and includes the history of their families. Their legacy is the mark they left on the hundreds of youngsters over the years whom they taught, and it continues to this day with the Leona S. and Jeanette L. Heptner Scholarship Fund, University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming; the Jeanette L. Heptner Scholarship, Northern Wyoming Community College Scholarship Fund, Sheridan, Wyoming; and the Heptner Education Academy, Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch in Billings, Montana. More than 400 photographs are included in the volume. Family historians will appreciate the comprehensive 21-page Name Index, especially for the Big Horn, Campbell, Crook, and Weston Counties in Wyoming; Mills County, Iowa; and Tulare County, California.
Rozet, Campbell County, Wyoming, and Its Homestead Families (1880 - 1949)

Lorna J. Whisler tells the fascinating story of a small corner of northeastern Wyoming, centered on Rozet in the decades after cattle trails and railroads first reached the area at the end of the 1800s. This is the story of the settler families and the communities they founded in a challenging landscape. Life was not easy in Campbell County a hundred and more years ago. Drought, blizzards, poverty, illness, and isolation took their toll, compounded by the local impacts of global events such as the World Wars, the Great Depression, and the 1918 Influenza Pandemic. Despite everything, rural Campbell County's communities persisted and prospered thanks to the stubborn strength, creative ingenuity, and hard work of its settler families. Whisler's book gives a fine-grained example of how the American West changed following the nineteenth-century Indian Wars and the 1862 Homestead Act. The U.S. government's promise of free land-emptied of its aboriginal population-drew people from the eastern U.S. and far across the Atlantic with the promise of opportunity. Some settlers found opportunity, others moved on, and Rozet remains a reminder and testament of how today's rural Wyoming arose in the early 1900s. Rozet, Campbell County, Wyoming, and Its Homestead Families (1880 - 1949) will deepen your knowledge whether you live in Campbell County or it's simply a place that holds some of your family's past. Whisler presents histories of a long list of family names that will be familiar if you have roots in Campbell County. On one hand, many place names in the county commemorate its settlers, real people who shaped Wyoming's landscape and society. On the other hand, Rozet's early families had to work, learn, play, and worship together to succeed. Names your family might recognize today may be recognizable because of threshing bees, marriages, business ventures, or roundups that happened decades past. Learning about Rozet's past can teach you about your family's past-as well as the broad processes of change that brought modern, rural Wyoming into being over a century ago.
When a young Scottish lad moves to Whitehall, Ohio, he's hopeful he'll make a few friends. He's enrolled at a new charter school there called Paragon Academy of Learning, where the students are all known as PALS. Paragon is unique school where bullies cannot exist, they simply vanish and while most students appreciate this school's zero tolerance policy on bullies, our young Scottish friend, has reason for concern. Bullies have existed for hundreds of years and Paragon aims to be rid of them, once and for all.
Lucy Kennedy (c.1731–1826), had an insider’sview of life in Windsor castle and of members of the Royal Family for fifty-three years. Her diary, preserved in the Royal Library, Windsor Castle, has never before been published.In it she writes a moving account of the death of Princess Amelia which precipitated the final illness of George III and the Regency. Her observations of his symptoms are relevant for modern-day diagnoses of his malady.
