This story began a hundred years ago when a child became the
inspiration for his famous father, A. A. Milne, who created one of
the best known children's characters in recent history. His parents
wanted a girl and to begin with treated him as one. They were
initially quite distant from him and his upbringing was left to a
loyal and loving nanny. Unfortunately, this left Christopher Robin
Milne terminally shy and lacking in self-confidence. Unable to
escape from the shadow of his fictional self, he became an object
of continued interest from a non-understanding public. His
salvation started with being sent away to Stowe School, going to
Cambridge and joining the Army in the Second World War as a sapper.
After an unhappy and directionless time immediately post-war in
London, he eventually married and, very successfully, ran a
bookshop in the South West for twenty-one years. His life was
dominated by a love of the countryside, learned at his parents'
country home, Cotchford Farm in Hartfield, East Sussex, and much
later in Devon. How he turned his life round, against the odds, is
the subject of this biography.
The process of food inspection relies on an inspector's
understanding of the intrinsic hazards associated with individual
foods. Whereas spoilage can usually be determined through a simple
organoleptic assessment, the judgment of whether a food is fit for
human consumption requires an evaluation of health hazards, many of
which may not be apparent through physical assessment. Instead the
inspector must analyse and integrate scientific and handling
information to evaluate the potential health risk. Adulteration of
foods is also becoming an increasing problem, and the complexity of
the food supply chain requires an understanding of risk points to
allow targeted inspection and assessment. Food Safety and
Inspection: An Introduction focuses on food categories and
describes common hazards associated with each, using published
peer-reviewed research to explain and evaluate the health risk. It
is a practical textbook designed to support the role of food
inspection in a modern food industry. There are seven chapters
looking at specific aspects of food safety, including a chapter on
fraud and adulteration. This book summarises relevant published
research to provide a scientific context for specific food safety
issues, and is an essential read for anyone interested in becoming
a food inspector.

Double bill of rauchy comedies by Frankie 'Titter Ye Not' Howerd,
the outrageously camp and bawdy British comic. 'Up Pompeii' (1971)
is the feature length spin-off from the Howerd's television series
about a lazy slave living in ancient Pompeii. When a document falls
into his hands listing the names of those plotting to assassinate
Emperor Nero, he is forced to infiltrate the group. Hilarious
mishaps result. In 'Up The Chastity Belt' (1971) Lurkalot (Frankie
Howerd) is a humble serf in Custard Castle, who runs a side-line
selling chastity belts and love potions at the local market place.
He's called upon to save the day when Sir Braggart De Bombast
attempts to seize the castle and kidnap the beautiful Lobelia De
Custard.

Food Security is a primary concern for all countries. However the
vulnerabilities which need addressing are dictated by the
individual country according to the food control systems in place,
the nature of the food industry and the culture of the country.
This book summarises the presentations of a NATO Advanced Training
Course addressing the issue of food security in Central Asia. The
book is divided into two sections. The first provides an overview
of the existing aspects of food security in participating Central
Asian countries. The emphasis here is on food safety, control and
access and includes background information on the relevant food
industries. Participating countries include the Kyrgyz Republic,
Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. The second section explores
particular aspects of food security in participating NATO
countries. These provide some insight into the value, strengths and
weaknesses of common food security systems. Chapters cover HACCP,
ISO/IEC 17025 standards and associated pre-requisite systems,
allergies and food intolerances, risk perception and communication,
training, and ethics. A chapter on food defence in the USA is also
included. This book is suitable for anyone with an interest in food
control systems and food security.

A harsh satire of Eighteenth Century London life, John Gay's The
Beggar's Opera is a piece well known by students of literature and
music. Gay's composition spawned a new genre of musical works
called "ballad opera" whose popularity rapidly caused the decline
of Italian opera in London. These well-received ballad operas
dominated London's musical theatre from 1728 until the middle of
the Eighteenth Century. No other author has looked beyond The
Beggar's Opera to analyze the plots of any of these imitative works
and their music. The book concentrates on these `children', or
descendants.The author describes a number of ballad operas which
proliferated on the heels of the success of The Beggar's Opera.
Ballad opera gradually matured into a pastoral, bucolic form (comic
opera) and eventually into a highly sophisticated type of musical
work (burletta). Several samples of each type of work chosen from
the performances most frequently given in London are discussed in
depth. These analyses include musical examples from the original
scores and evaluations of the dramatic and musical aspects of each
work. With the exception of The Beggar's Opera, none of these works
or similar ones has previously been the subject of detailed
analysis and evaluation."How John Gay Changed the Course of
England's Musical Theatre" sheds fresh light on the less familiar
ballad operas of the Eighteenth Century. Gay's The Beggar's Opera
created such a demand for musical satire that original music began
to be composed for English comic works. ...Edmund Miller, Chairman
of the English Department, C. W. Post Campus of Long Island
UniversityThis is an engaging and unique look at a piece of
operatic history out of the mainstream. It invites the reader to
explore works that he may not know, along with the milieu in which
these musical gems became popular....Kathryn Smith, General
Director, Tacoma OperaDr. Atkins provides an insightful study of
Eighteenth Century ballad opera ranging from John Gay's The
Beggar's Opera with its political satire and burlesque of Italian
opera to the comic operas and burlettas which rounded out the
century. This highly readable exposition includes examples of the
tuneful airs, and explains the plots of the most popular works of
the period. It will delight both musical and literary
scholars....Patricia Azar, Associate Editor, Collected Works of G.
K. ChestertonMadeline Atkins has given us a thorough and
intelligent study of Eighteenth Century popular English musical
theater, and the seminal role of The Beggar's Opera in its
development. With the inclusion of numerous musical examples,
abundant historical details, and deft, clear analyses, this book is
an excellent introduction to a delightful musical genre and period.
Atkins successfully accomplishes both of her aims: she informs us
about an overlooked yet important era of musical history and she
convinces us to want to hear it again for ourselves, and she does
it artfully and skillfully....Barry Sherman, Associate Professor of
Communications, St. John's University
