Kitchen Mysteries: Revealing the Science of Cooking (Arts and Traditions of the Table: Perspectives on Culinary History)
by Hervé ThisAn international celebrity and founder of molecular gastronomy, or the scientific investigation of culinary practice, Hervé This is known for his ground-breaking research into the chemistry and physics behind everyday cooking. His work is consulted widely by amateur cooks and professional chefs and has changed the way food is approached and prepared all over the world. In Kitchen Mysteries, Hervé This offers a second helping of his world-renowned insight into the science of cooking, answering such fundamental questions as what causes vegetables to change color when cooked and how to keep a soufflé from falling. He illuminates abstract concepts with practical advice and concrete examples-for instance, how sautéing in butter chemically alters the molecules of mushrooms-so that cooks of every stripe can thoroughly comprehend the scientific principles of food. Kitchen Mysteries begins with a brief overview of molecular gastronomy and the importance of understanding the physiology of taste. A successful meal depends as much on a cook's skilled orchestration of taste, odors, colors, consistencies, and other sensations as on the delicate balance of ingredients. Hervé then dives into the main course, discussing the science behind many meals' basic components: eggs, milk, bread, sugar, fruit, yogurt, alcohol, and cheese, among other items. He also unravels the mystery of tenderizing enzymes and gelatins and the preparation of soups and stews, salads and sauces, sorbet, cakes, and pastries. Hervé explores the effects of boiling, steaming, braising, roasting, deep-frying, sautéing, grilling, salting, and microwaving, and devotes a chapter to kitchen utensils, recommending the best way to refurbish silverware and use copper.By sharing the empirical principles chefs have valued for generations, Hervé This adds another dimension to the suggestions of cookbook authors. He shows how to adapt recipes to available ingredients and how to modify proposed methods to the utensils at hand.

Tyson Erika Varkonyi-Gasic Indrakumar Vetharaniam Ruiling Wang Qiguo ZhuangKiwifruit is one of the few fruit crops that has been successfully introduced to the marketplace and for which commercial production in several countries has expanded rapidly over the last 50 years. Kiwifruit science and production has advanced significantly during this time, with multiple new green-, yellow- and red-fleshed cultivars being commercialized while moving into the era of genomics, sustainability, digital technology and automation. This book reviews the scientific and technical information published on kiwifruit, their biology and management. It provides a comprehensive reference on kiwifruit, including their history, genetic material, culture, physiology, pest and disease control, and fruit consumption. Particular attention is given to recent threats and opportunities, including environmental issues, the disease Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae, new genetics, new growing areas and technology advances. Contributions from a wide range of international specialists ensure coverage of key aspects of kiwifruit and their culture in different environments. Of particular interest to academic researchers in horticulture, the book is also suitable for a wider audience including extension personnel, growers, consultants, and professional and technical staff associated with the kiwifruit industry.

Klima und Umweltpolitik
by Ulrich RankeDer Klimawandel findet jetzt und überall statt ist. Das Buch legt die institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen dar, die notwendig sind, um im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel die Emissionen unter dem notwendigen Schwellwert von 2 °C zu halten. Ohne internationale Zusammenarbeit und grenzüberschreitende Initiativen wird dieses Ziel nicht zu erreichen sein. Eine Auswahl der bedeutendsten Klimaabkommen wird in diesem Buch in den naturwissenschaftlichen Kontext der Klimagenese gestellt und auf ihre sozioökonomischen und kulturellen Auswirkungen hin beleuchtet. Dazu werden zunächst die Themenfelder Klimawirkungen und die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen des Klimageschehens beschrieben. Es werden die institutionellen und technischen Instrumente der Klimaschutzpolitik diskutiert und ausführlich ausgewählte Konferenzen unter dem Dach der Vereinten Nationen dokumentiert. Nach Paris 2015 lässt sich feststellen, dass der Klimawandel nur durch eine noch umfassendere Internationalisierung beeinflusst werden kann.

Klimaresiliente Kommunalpolitik: Eine Szenarioanalyse für Bochum im Jahr 2046
by Michael Roos Jan-Hendrik Kamlage Elias-Johannes SchmittDie konkreten gesellschaftlichen Folgen des Klimawandels sind sehr unsicher und nicht vorhersagbar. Die Szenarioanalyse erlaubt es, Vorstellungen möglicher Zukünfte zu entwickeln. Das Buch stellt vier kohärente Zukunftszenarien für die Stadt Bochum im Jahr 2046 vor und zeigt, wie daraus konkrete Maßnahmen für politische Entscheidungsträger*innen hergeleitet werden können. Die Leser*innen dringen in utopische und dystopische Erzählungen ein, die die wissenschaftlich fundierte Entwicklung der Szenarien anschaulich werden lassen. Darüber hinaus bietet das Buch eine Einführung in die Methode der Szenarioanalyse, die für den Aufbau von Aktivitäten der städtischen Vorausschau (Urban Foresight) auch in anderen Kommunen hochgradig relevant ist.
