two common knitting gauges allow plenty of room for hundreds of
patterns. Knitters can use the 5 stitches by 6 rows gauge for

Whether it's a salted caramel or pizza topped with tomatoes and
cheese, you know when food tastes good. Now, Barb Stuckey, a
seasoned food developer to whom food companies turn for help in
creating delicious new products, reveals the amazing story behind
"why "you love some foods and not others.
Through fascinating stories, you'll learn how our five senses work
together to form flavor perception and how the experience of food
changes for people who have lost their sense of smell or taste.
You'll learn why kids (and some adults) turn up their noses at
Brussels sprouts, how salt makes grapefruit sweet, and why you
drink your coffee black while your spouse loads it with cream and
sugar. Eye-opening experiments allow you to discover your unique
"taster type" and to learn why you react instinctively to certain
foods. You'll improve your ability to discern flavors and devise
taste combinations in your own kitchen for delectable results. What
Harold McGee did for the science of cooking Barb Stuckey does for
the science of eating in "Taste"--a calorie-free way to get more
pleasure from every bite.

This 9th edition of Martin Gilbert’s Atlas of Jewish History
spans over four thousand years of history in 196 maps, starting
with the worldwide migration of the Jews from ancient Mesopotamia
and coming up into the first decades of the twenty-first century.
It presents a vivid picture of a fascinating people and the trials
and tribulations which have haunted the Jewish story, as well as
Jewish achievements. The themes covered include: Prejudice and
Violence – from the destruction of Jewish independence between
722 and 586 BC to the flight from German persecution in the 1930s.
Also covers the incidence of anti-Semitic attacks in the Americas
and Europe. Migrations and Movements – from ancient dispersals
from the promised land, to new maps on the ingathering of exiles
from Arab and Muslim lands from 1948, and from the break-up of the
Soviet Union in 1992. Society, Trade and Culture – from Jewish
trade routes between 800 and 900, the geography of the Jews of
China, of India, to communal life in the ghettoes and the situation
of world Jewry in the opening years of the twenty-first century.
Politics, Government and War – from the Court Jews of the
fifteenth century to the founding and growth of the modern State of
Israel. This new edition now includes an additional 39 of Martin
Gilbert’s maps, across the whole range of Jewish history,
originally published across a range of publications, now gathered
in this one volume for the first time. Over 50 years on from its
first publication, this book is still an indispensable guide to
Jewish history.
'Neil Oliver writes beautifully - letting us see ourselves in a new
light.' - Professor Alice Roberts 'Oliver is an evocative
storyteller, vividly bringing his tales to life' BBC History
Magazine
.........................................................................................................................................................................
For longer than recorded history there have been tales of spirits
and of places where our hackles rise and our skin turns cold.
Bestselling historian Neil Oliver travels the British Isles on a
deliciously spine-chilling tour that spans several centuries and
explores more than 20 sites - castles, vicarages and towers, lonely
shorelines and forgotten battlefields - to unpick their stories..
Oliver invokes his family's history alongside that of kings and
queens past as he probes why our emotions and senses are heightened
in certain locations where the separation between dimensions seems
gossamer thin. Our landscape is riven with these places, creaking
from the weight of the secrets they hold, the echoes of tragedy and
dark deeds . From Inverness to Devon, Co Dublin to Norfolk,
Hauntings casts an enjoyably eerie glow with stories that, told
generation after generation, are inextricable from place - and
considers why they matter.
This outstanding Handbook establishes the relationship between
political citizenship and social movements as an area of study. As
an in-depth and well-conceived source for beginners, experienced
scholars and students alike, it provides theoretically rich,
methodologically diverse, and empirically wide-ranging chapters on
political struggles over citizenship. Moreover, the bridging
between sociological and political theories of movements and
citizenship reveals both in a different light.' - Engin Isin, The
Open UniversitySince the 1960s, social movements and political
citizenship have become buzzwords not only in social and political
life but also in social and political science. The impact of the
environmental and women's movements, and the advance of
multicultural, European and cosmopolitan citizenship in modern
history are cases in point. The study of citizenship traditionally
refers to the individual dimension of social and political
behavior. Social movement studies, however, refer to the collective
dimension of such behavior. Despite distinct trajectories in their
theoretical development, the social movement and citizenship
paradigms converge where social movements are viewed as collective
forms of political citizenship. This Handbook uniquely collates
results of several decades of academic research in these two
fields. The expert contributions successively address the different
forms of political citizenship and current approaches and recent
developments in social movement studies. Salient social movements
in recent history are explored in depth, covering the
environmental, women's, international human rights, urban, Tea
Party, and animal rights movements. Social movements and political
citizenship in the global South : China, India, Africa, and the
Arab World, are discussed, presenting a novel empirical insight
into these fields of study. Social scientists, MA and PhD students
conducting research in social movements and citizenship, at a
theoretical and empirical level, will benefit from the
authoritative assessment of forms of political citizenship and
major developments in social movement studies. Contributors: E.
