The very first cookbook to celebrate Juneteenth, from food writer
and cookbook author Nicole A. Taylor-who draws on her decade of
experiences observing the holiday. On June 19, 1865, more than two
years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation
Proclamation, Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston and
issued General Order Number 3, informing the people of Texas that
all enslaved people were now free. A year later, in 1866, Black
Texans congregated with music, dance, and BBQs-Juneteenth
celebrations. All-day cook-outs with artful salads, bounteous
dessert spreads, and raised glasses of "red drink" are essential to
Juneteenth gatherings. In Watermelon and Red Birds, Nicole puts
jubilation on the main stage. As a master storyteller and cook, she
bridges the traditional African-American table and 21st-century
flavors in stories and recipes. Nicole synthesizes all the places
we've been, all the people we have come from, all the people we
have become, and all the culinary ideas we have embraced.
Watermelon and Red Birds contains over 75 recipes, including drinks
like Afro Egg Cream and Marigold Gin Sour, dishes like Beef Ribs
with Fermented Harissa Sauce, Peach Jam and Molasses Glazed Chicken
Thighs, Southern-ish Potato Salad and Cantaloupe and Feta Salad,
and desserts like Roasted Nectarine Sundae, and Radish and Ginger
Pound Cake. Taylor also provides a resource to guide readers to
BIPOC-owned hot sauces, jams, spice, and waffle mixes companies and
lists fun gadgets to make your Juneteenth special. These recipes
and essays will inspire parties to salute one of the most important
American holidays, and moments to savor joy all year round.

Clinical research ethics consultation has emerged in the last 15
years as a service to those involved in the conduct of clinical
research who face challenging issues for which more than one course
of action may be justified. To respond to a growing field and need
for opportunities to share knowledge and experience, the Clinical
Research Ethics Consultation Collaborative, established in 2014,
holds monthly webinars for its 90 members to present their most
challenging cases to each other and engage in substantive
discussion. Every year, the group selects the four most interesting
cases with accompanying commentaries for publication in the
American Journal of Bioethics. This timely book brings together
these cases and commentaries under a range of common themes for the
first time, creating a permanent collection in book format that
encourages and supports readers to gain a better understanding of
the ethical challenges that they may face, and providing them with
a convenient and reflective resource to reference in their own
deliberations. Key Features: ⢠Comprehensive collection of cases
and commentaries, chosen to reflect the range of issues faced by
clinical researchers and oversight committees and illustrate the
diversity of analysis that can arise ⢠Supplemented by short
introductions to each section ⢠Focus on ethical rather than
regulatory issues ⢠Essential reading for graduate students in
bioethics and post-doctoral bioethics fellows, and useful for all
participants in training grants that are funded by either NIH or
NSF Presenting challenging cases to stimulate reflection, the book
provides invaluable guidance to clinicians in training and in
practice and to investigators, bioethics consultants, regulators,
and oversight bodies.

Plato's Timaeus was his only cosmological dialogue and for almost
thirteen hundred years it provided the basis in the West for
educated people's general view of the natural world. The author
provides a translation of this important work, together with the
Critias - the source of the legendary tale of Atlantis. He has
taken particular care to provide an accurate rendering of Plato's
words and to avoid putting his own or any other interpretation on
the works.
This book provides an introduction to Plato's work that gives a
clear statement of what Plato has to say about the problems of
thought and life. In particular, it tells the reader just what
Plato says, and makes no attempt to force a system on the Platonic
text or to trim Plato's works to suit contemporary philosophical
tastes. The author also gives an account that has historical
fidelity - we cannot really understand the Republic or the Gorgias
if we forget that the Athens of the conversations is meant to be
the Athens of Nicias or Cleon, not the very different Athens of
Plato's own manhood. To understand Plato's thought we must see it
in the right historical perspective.
This textbook is designed for an Introduction to Proofs course
organized around the themes of number and space. Concepts are
illustrated using both geometric and number examples, while
frequent analogies and applications help build intuition and
context in the humanities, arts, and sciences. Sophisticated
mathematical ideas are introduced early and then revisited several
times in a spiral structure, allowing students to progressively
develop rigorous thinking. Throughout, the presentation is
enlivened with whimsical illustrations, apt quotations, and
glimpses of mathematical history and culture. Early chapters
integrate an introduction to sets, logic, and beginning proof
techniques with a first exposure to more advanced mathematical
structures. The middle chapters focus on equivalence relations,
functions, and induction. Carefully chosen examples elucidate
familiar topics, such as natural and rational numbers and angle
measurements, as well as new mathematics, such as modular
arithmetic and beginning graph theory. The book concludes with a
thorough exploration of the cardinalities of finite and infinite
sets and, in two optional chapters, brings all the topics together
by constructing the real numbers and other complete metric spaces.
Designed to foster the mental flexibility and rigorous thinking
needed for advanced mathematics, Introduction to Mathematics suits
either a lecture-based or flipped classroom. A year of mathematics,
statistics, or computer science at the university level is assumed,
but the main prerequisite is the willingness to engage in a new
challenge.

This account shows the full range of Hugh Miller's interests - the
lyrical description of the scenery and accounts of beautiful
fossils show a deep affection for the Scottish landscape, while his
role as a serious religious journalist and social crusader is
highlighted in his discussions on the Disruption and the Highland
Clearances.
Hugh Miller was born in Cromarty, Ross-shire in 1802. A self-taught
stonemason, writer, social crusader and geologist, his name was
known in his lifetime not just in Scotland but across the
English-speaking world. This facsimile edition of his classic book,
first published in 1841, concerns 'The Old Red Sandstone', an
assemblage of rocks in the North Atlantic region, largely of
Devonian age. In a pre-Darwinian era, Miller was able to reconcile
his geological knowledge with his religious beliefs - he saw
geology as evidence, not as disproof, of godly design. His writing
is still immensely readable (he was known as 'the poet of geology')
and as novelist James Robertson says in his Foreword ' ... if it
tells us less than we now know about our planet's geology it tells
us much about how we have gained that knowledge, and how science is
and can only ever be a part of wider human culture.'

Ross-shire-born polymath Hugh Miller (1802-56) was famous in his
lifetime across the English-speaking world. After starting his
working life as a stonemason, he became a social commentator and
crusader and an inspiring (pre-Darwinian) writer on fossils.
Michael A. Taylor's biography - the first synoptic reassessment to
draw upon new research - was first published in 2007. It quotes
generous chunks of Miller's own still immensely readable writings
(he was known as 'the supreme poet of geology') and covers the full
range of Hugh Miller, from stonemason through geologist and editor
to private family man, with a surprising conclusion regarding his
suicide. This new edition has some minor amendments and a new
cover.
Competition and Economic Regulation in Water: The Future of the
European Water Industry examines the fundamentals of water sector
organisation. In light of the developments in thinking regarding
natural monopolies and competition that have been so influential in
other utility sectors, this book assesses and reviews the main
developments in economic regulation and competition in the European
water industry. It also addresses ways in which economic regulation
and competition should be further developed in view of the European
water industry's present structure. The book highlights the
development of water sector regulation in three major European
markets (England & Wales, France and Germany) that have had a
great influence on international water sector policymakers. In
doing so, the book develops and employs a common intellectual
framework for assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the
regulatory regime in each country.Competition and Economic
Regulation in Water: The Future of the European Water Industry will
prove a unique and invaluable reference for water utilities,
consultants, economic researchers, governments and policymakers who
are dealing with the changing state of the water sector not just in
Europe but also worldwide.
This volume pulls together interdisciplinary research on cognitive
representations in the mind and in the world. The chapters-from
cutting-edge researchers in psychology, philosophy, computer
science, and the arts-explore how structured representations
determine cognition in memory, spatial cognition information
visualization, event comprehension, and gesture. It will appeal to
graduate-level cognitive scientists, technologists, philosophers,
linguists, and educators.

The surprising story of cork and its critical role in US security
and the war effort. Winner of the IPPY Book Award History (World),
Silver of the Independent Publisher In 1940, with German U-boats
blockading all commerce across the Atlantic Ocean, a fireball at
the Crown Cork and Seal factory lit the sky over Baltimore. The
newspapers said that you could see its glow as far north as
Philadelphia and as far south as Annapolis. Rumors of Nazi sabotage
led to an FBI investigation and pulled an entire industry into the
machinery of national security as America stood on the brink of
war. In Cork Wars, David A. Taylor traces this fascinating story
through the lives of three men and their families, who were all
drawn into this dangerous intersection of enterprise and espionage.
At the heart of this tale is self-made mogul Charles McManus, son
of Irish immigrants, who grew up on Baltimore's rough streets.
McManus ran Crown Cork and Seal, a company that manufactured
everything from bottle caps to oil-tight gaskets for fighter
planes. Frank DiCara, as a young teenager growing up in
Highlandtown, watched from his bedroom window as the fire blazed at
the factory. Just a few years later, under pressure to support his
family after the death of his father, DiCara quit school and got a
job at Crown. Meanwhile, Melchor Marsa, Catalan by birth, managed
Crown Cork and Seal's plants in Spain and Portugal-and was
perfectly placed to be recruited as a spy. McManus, DiCara, and
Marsa were connected by the unique properties of a seemingly
innocuous substance. Cork, unrivaled as a sealant and insulator,
was used in gaskets, bomber insulation, and ammunition, making it
crucial to the war effort. From secret missions in North Africa to
4-H clubs growing seedlings in America to secret intelligence
agents working undercover in the industry, this book examines
cork's surprising wartime significance. Drawing on in-depth
interviews with surviving family members, personal collections, and
recently declassified government records, Taylor weaves this by
turns beautiful, dark, and outrageous narrative with the drama of a
thriller. From the factory floor to the corner office, Cork Wars
reflects shifts in our ideas of modernity, the environment, and the
materials and norms of American life. World War II buffs-and anyone
interested in a good yarn-will be gripped by this bold and
frightening tale of a forgotten episode of American history.
