Ten years after the phenomenal success of her once-in-a-generation
cookbook, former The New York Times food editor Amanda Hesser
returns with an updated edition for a new wave of home cooks.
Devoted Times subscribers as well as newcomers to the paper's
culinary mother lode will find dozens of recipes to treasure:
Purple Plum Torte, David Eyre's Pancake, Pamela Sherrid's Summer
Pasta and a host of other classics, from 1940s Caesar Salad and
1960s flourless chocolate cake (Evelyn Sharpe's French Chocolate
Cake) to today's No-Knead Bread and Giant Crinkled Chocolate Chip
Cookies. Also included are fifty new but instantly iconic recipes,
including Samin Nosrat's Herbed Rice with Tahdig, Melissa Clark's
Simple Roast Turkey and Alison Roman's one-pot Spiced Chickpea
Stew. Hesser has tested and adapted each of the 1,000-plus recipes
and she highlights her go-to favourites from more than a
century's-worth of cooking tradition with wit and warmth. As Saveur
declared, this is a "tremendously appealing collection of recipes
that tells the story of American cooking."
This much-needed volume is an edited collection of primary sources
that document the history of bilingual education in U.S. public
schools during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Part I of
the volume examines the development of dual-language programs for
immigrants, colonized Mexicans, and Native Americans during the
nineteenth century. Part II considers the attacks on bilingual
education during the Progressive-era drive for an English-only
curriculum and during the First World War. Part III explores the
resurgence of bilingual activities, particularly among Spanish
speakers and Native Americans, during the interwar period and
details the rise of the federal government's involvement in
bilingual instruction during the post-WWII decades. Part IV of the
volume examines the recent campaigns against bilingual education
and explores dual-language practices in today's classrooms. A
compilation of school reports, letters, government documents, and
other primary sources, this volume provides rich insights into the
history of this very contentious educational policy and practice
and will be of great interest to historians and language scholars,
as well as to educational practitioners and policymakers.
Innovation in the Pharmaceutical Industry traces the discovery and
development of drugs in Japan and the UK both historically and
sociologically. It includes sixteen case studies of major
pharmaceutical developments in the twentieth century, encompassing,
amongst others, beta-blockers, beta-stimulants, inhaled steroids
and histamine H2-antagonists. The book illustrates that the four
stages of drug development - namely compound, application,
organisational authorisation and market - are interactively shaped
by heterogeneous actors and institutions. The book also identifies
three different types of pharmaceutical development - paradigmatic
innovation, application innovation and modification-based
innovation, all with distinguishable features in the drug
development process. Finally, several historical, structural and
cultural factors influencing the shaping of medicines are revealed
by the comparison between British and Japanese drug innovation.
Addressing a number of practical implications for the promotion of
the pharmaceutical industry, this book will be of enormous interest
to students, researchers and academics specialising in science and
technology, and the management of technology and innovation.
Practitioners, managers, and policy planners within the
pharmaceutical industry will also deem this book invaluable.
