Culinary Creation

Culinary Creation

The book seeks not to present a detailed history and discussion but instead is intended to provide the student with an appreciation of the idea that all cuisines of the world have something unique to offer to a menu. The author strongly believes that foods of other nations (and even other areas of the United States) are too often given short shrift by culture-bound students and chefs and that every attempt should be made to open their minds to the unlimited possibilities available. The wordfoodism is introduced to refer to biases against foods outside your culture. | Culinary Creation

Piracy in the Levant 1827-8

Piracy in the Levant 1827-8

A selection from the papers of the commander in chief of the Mediterranean station Sir Edward Codrington which shows the British government’s determined policy following on from the bombardment of Algiers to try to end attacks on trade in that sea. The target on this occasion was ‘privateers’ operating out of the impoverished Aegean islands whose inhabitants had long used these methods to sustain their economies and who were exploiting the opportunities created by the Greek war of independence from the Turks to do so. Codrington tackled the problem in two ways – by bringing pressure on the Greek provisional government and on local authorities to control their own subjects and by direct action where they failed to act. This volume reproduces the reports of the frigate and sloop captains who carried out this task culminating in the destruction of the pirate fleet and military occupation of their stronghold at Grabusa Crete where the frigate Cambrian was wrecked on a rock at the harbour entrance. These operations are a striking example of the enforcement of the Pax Britannica on an unwilling population. | Piracy in the Levant 1827-8

Debordering and Rebordering Central and South Eastern Europe after the First World War

Debordering and Rebordering Central and South Eastern Europe after the First World War

This book addresses practices of bordering debordering and rebordering on the territory of the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy after state borders had been remapped on the negotiation tables of the Paris Peace Treaties following the First World War. As life in borderlands did not correspond to the peaceful Europe articulated in the Paris Treaties a multitude of (un)foreseen complications followed the drawing of borders and states. The chapters in this book include new case studies on the creation centralization or peripheralization of border regions such as Subcarpathian Rus Vojvodina Banat and the Carpathian Mountains; on border zones such as the Czechoslovakian harbour in Germany; and on cross-border activities. The book shows how disputes over national identities and ethnic minorities as well as other factors such as the economic consequences of the new state borders appeared on the interwar political agenda and coloured the lives of borderland inhabitants. The contributions demonstrate the practices of borderland inhabitants in the establishment functioning disorganization or ultimate breakdown of some of the newly created interwar nation-states. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal European Review of History. | Debordering and Rebordering Central and South Eastern Europe after the First World War

International Conflict and Conflict Management

International Conflict and Conflict Management

This book asks scholars to reexamine international conflict and its management—in order to move the field toward directly theorizing about and examining the interdependence between conflict events and conflict management attempts. Despite decades of work research on international conflict and its management remains siloed in three fundamental ways. First scholars do not thoroughly address international conflict dynamics within studies of conflict management even though the former give rise to the latter. Second existing work generally investigates one conflict management strategy (e. g. mediation) at the expense of others (e. g. adjudication). These strategies however are not independent of one another; they exist on a single menu from which potential third parties choose. Third parties therefore implicitly—if not explicitly—consider and select among the various strategies when deciding how to manage a conflict thereby inviting and incorporating comparisons. Finally researchers tend to treat conflict management efforts—even within the same conflict—as independent events even though some efforts (e. g. adjudication or arbitration) follow and explicitly relate to other earlier efforts (e. g. an earlier negotiation or mediation). In short elements of sequencing and interaction influence conflict management even as scholars rarely consider such elements. This book will be of great value to scholars and researchers of Political Science International Relations and Conflict Management and Resolution. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of International Interactions. | International Conflict and Conflict Management

The CAFE Book Engaging All Students in Daily Literacy Assessment and Instruction

For the past ten years Gail Boushey and Allison Behne worked with hundreds of teachers and students nationwide to gain insightsinto the best practices for reading instruction. Using their findings they developed The CAFE Book Expanded Second Edition: Engaging All Students in Daily Literacy Assessment and Instruction to share what their research has proven - that reading instruction is not about the setting or the book level but rather effective reading instruction is based off of what the student needs in that moment. With the release of The CAFE Book in 2009 the CAFE system (Comprehension Accuracy Flluency and expanding Vocabulary) has been implemented in classrooms all over the world. It changed the way educators assess teach and track student information and has positively impacted the way students learn practice and talk about reading.

Brunei – History Islam Society and Contemporary Issues

Brunei – History Islam Society and Contemporary Issues

Brunei although a relatively small state is disproportionately important on account of its rich resource base. In addition in recent years the country has endeavoured to play a greater role in regional affairs especially through ASEAN holding the chair of the organisation in 2013 and also beyond the region fostering diplomatic political economic and educational ties with many nations. This book presents much new research and new thinking on a wide range of issues concerning Brunei largely drawn from Bruneian academics. Subjects covered include Brunei’s rich history – the sultanate formerly had much more extensive territories and was a key player in regional affairs; the country’s economy politics society and ethnicities; and resource issues and international relations. | Brunei – History Islam Society and Contemporary Issues

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

Early Celtic Art From Its Origins to Its Aftermath

Early Celtic Art From Its Origins to Its Aftermath

For many perhaps most the title Early Celtic Art summons up images of Early Christian stone crosses in Ireland Scotland Wales or Cornwall; of Glendalough lona or Tintagel; of the Ardagh Chalice or the Monymusk Reliquary; of the great illuminated gospels of Durrow or Lindisfame. But as Stuart Piggott notes the consummate works of art produced under the aegis of the early churches in Britain or Ireland in regions Celtic by tradition or language have an ancestry behind them only partly Celtic. One strain in an eclectic style was borrowed from the ornament of the northern Germanic world the classical Mediterranean and even the Eastern churches. Early Celtic art originating in the fifth century b. c. in Central Europe was already seven or eight centuries old when it was last traced in the pagan prehistoric world and the transmission of some of its modes and motifs over a further span of centuries into the Christian Middle Ages was an even later phenomenon. This volume presents the art of the prehistoric Celtic peoples the first great contribution of the barbarians to European arts. It is an art produced in circumstances that the classical world and contemporary societiesunhesitatingly recognize as uncivilized. Its appearance it has been said by N. K. Sandars in Prehistoric Art in Europe: is perhaps one of the oddest and most unlikely things to have come out of a barbarian continent. Its peculiar refinement delicacy and equilibrium are not altogether what one would expect of men who though courageous and not without honor even in the records of their enemies were also savage cruel and often disgusting; for the archaeological refuse as well as the reports of Classical antiquity agree in this verdict. This book comprises the first major exhibition of Early Celtic Art from its origins and beginnings to its aftermath and was assembled by Stuart Piggott who taught later European prehistory to Honors students in Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh where he held the Abercromy Chair. He retired from the Chair in 1977 and in 1983 he received the gold medal of the Society of Antiquaries of London as well as the Grahame Clark medal of the British Academy in 1992. Through his knowledge of the subject he has made accessible an obscure but fascinating period of European culture. | Early Celtic Art From Its Origins to Its Aftermath
