Beth Lord looks at Kant's philosophy in relation to four thinkers
who attempted to fuse transcendental idealism with Spinoza's
doctrine of immanence. Examining Jacobi, Herder, Maimon and
Deleuze, Lord argues that Spinozism is central to the development
of Kant's thought, and opens new avenues for understanding Kant's
relation to Deleuze.

First published in 1960, Albert B. Lord's The Singer of Tales
remains the fundamental study of the distinctive techniques and
aesthetics of oral epic poetry. Based upon pathbreaking fieldwork
conducted in the 1930s and 1950s among oral epic singers of Bosnia,
Croatia, and Serbia, Lord analyzes in impressive detail the
techniques of oral composition in performance. He explores the
consequences of this analysis for the interpretation of numerous
works of traditional verbal art, including-in addition to South
Slavic epic songs-the Homeric Iliad and Odyssey, Beowulf, the
Chanson de Roland, and the Byzantine epic Digenis Akritas. A
cardinal text for the study of oral traditions, The Singer of Tales
also represents an exemplary use of the comparative method in
literary criticism. This third edition offers a corrected text of
the second edition and is supplemented by an open-access website
(in lieu of the second edition's CD-ROM), providing all the
recordings discussed by Lord, as well as a variety of other
multimedia materials.

Far exceeding the dynamic evolution prophesized by the editors of
the first edition, food product development outstripped all
expectations by incorporating several new phenomena. The demands of
aging boomers for food that provides both taste and nutrition, the
overwhelming consumer demand for convenience, the rapidly changing
landscape of food retailing, and scientific breakthroughs in
ingredient, processing, and packaging technology underscore the
industry's propensity for change in the marketing, packaging, and
development arenas. Such drastic change demands an up-to-date
review of this expanding field. Navigate a Changeable Landscape
Driven by the recognition of the interdisciplinary philosophies
that underlie this dimensionally volatile landscape, the editors
and contributors of Developing New Food Products for a Changing
Marketplace hardwire their vision of holistic food product
developmentin their breakthroughsecond edition. World class
authorities, seven of whom are Institute of Food Technologists
(IFT) Fellows, present the economic, functional, and novel reasons
for developing new products. They go on to discuss formulation,
sensory and consumer testing, package design, commercial production
and, ultimately, product launch and marketing. Meet the Demands of
a Consumer Driven Market Continuing to offer the up-to-the-minute
information that made the widely adopted first edition so popular,
the second edition introduces new concepts in staffing, identifying
and measuring consumer desires, engineering scale-up from the
kitchen, lab, or pilot plant; and generating product concepts.
Applying insights from real life experience, contributors further
probe the retail environment. They cover optimization, sensory
analysis, package design, and the increasingly important role of
the research chef or culinologist (TM) in providing the basic
recipe.

Being A Compilation From The Newspaper Press Of Eight Years Of The
World's Greatest History, Particularly As Concerns America, Its
People And Their Affairs.
This limited edition contains the critical texts of eight long oral
epics from four bards of northern Bosnia, the northern most
predominantly Muslim district in Europe. Sung with the
accompaniment of the picked tambura rather than the bowed gusle
that is familiar elsewhere in the Yugoslav tradition, the epos in
northern Bosnia was often strophic or stanzaic rather than stichic.
This volume is the first publication in the more than century-old
scholarship on South Slavic oral traditions to take note of that
fact, and to document it with specific texts. The editor's
Prolegomena include detailed discussions of the principles of
rhythm in this epos, the sources of the tales in it, and extensive
comparative commentaries linking the eight narratives with those
found in other Yugoslav towns, especially with the tradition of
Avdo Mededovic at Bijelo Polje.
In researching this collection, Milman Parry set out to test the
theories he had evolved on oral epic, theories that were to
introduce a new era of Homeric scholarship. In the Balkans, one of
the few areas where a living tradition of oral heroic poetry was
still to be found, he observed firsthand how unlettered singers
composed their poems, and collected more than 1200 hours of poetic
performance from the most experienced bards. Comprising
representative texts and translations from the Parry Collection,
this series records the South Slavic tradition.
