Then he hears of a missing stone with astonishing powers, which could be valuable, dangerous - or both.
An incredible adventure is about to begin!
For generations, we have defined a corporation as a business run by a
capitalist elite, that uses its accumulated wealth to own the means of
production and exercise economic power.
That is no longer the reality. In the twenty-first century, our most
desired goods and services aren't stacked in warehouses or on container
ships: they appear on your screen, fit in your pocket or occupy your
head.
But even as we consume more than ever before, big business faces a
crisis of legitimacy. The pharmaceutical industry creates life-saving
vaccines but has lost the trust of the public. The widening pay gap
between executives and employees is destabilising our societies.
Facebook and Google have more customers than any companies in history
but are widely reviled.
John Kay, one of the greatest economists of our time, describes how the
pursuit of shareholder value has destroyed some of the leading
companies of the twentieth century. Incisive and provocative, this book
redefines successful commercial activity and leadership, the knowledge
economy and what the future of the modern corporation might be.

Food process engineering, a branch of both food science and
chemical engineering, has evolved over the years since its
inception and still is a rapidly changing discipline. While
traditionally the main objective of food process engineering was
preservation and stabilization, the focus today has shifted to
enhance health aspects, flavour and taste, nutrition, sustainable
production, food security and also to ensure more diversity for the
increasing demand of consumers. The food industry is becoming
increasingly competitive and dynamic, and strives to develop high
quality, freshly prepared food products. To achieve this objective,
food manufacturers are today presented with a growing array of new
technologies that have the potential to improve, or replace,
conventional processing technologies, to deliver higher quality and
better consumer targeted food products, which meet many, if not
all, of the demands of the modern consumer. These new, or
innovative, technologies are in various stages of development,
including some still at the R&D stage, and others that have
been commercialised as alternatives to conventional processing
technologies. Food process engineering comprises a series of unit
operations traditionally applied in the food industry. One major
component of these operations relates to the application of heat,
directly or indirectly, to provide foods free from pathogenic
microorganisms, but also to enhance or intensify other processes,
such as extraction, separation or modification of components. The
last three decades have also witnessed the advent and adaptation of
several operations, processes, and techniques aimed at producing
high quality foods, with minimum alteration of sensory and
nutritive properties. Some of these innovative technologies have
significantly reduced the thermal component in food processing,
offering alternative nonthermal methods. Food Processing
Technologies: A Comprehensive Review, Three Volume Set covers the
latest advances in innovative and nonthermal processing, such as
high pressure, pulsed electric fields, radiofrequency, high
intensity pulsed light, ultrasound, irradiation and new hurdle
technology. Each section will have an introductory article covering
the basic principles and applications of each technology, and
in-depth articles covering the currently available equipment
(and/or the current state of development), food quality and safety,
application to various sectors, food laws and regulations, consumer
acceptance, advancements and future scope. It will also contain
case studies and examples to illustrate state-of-the-art
applications. Each section will serve as an excellent reference to
food industry professionals involved in the processing of a wide
range of food categories, e.g., meat, seafood, beverage, dairy,
eggs, fruits and vegetable products, spices, herbs among others.
Kai Draper begins his book with the assumption that individual
rights exist and stand as moral obstacles to the pursuit of
national no less than personal interests. That assumption might
seem to demand a pacifist rejection of war, for any sustained war
effort requires military operations that predictably kill many
noncombatants as "collateral damage," and presumably at least most
noncombatants have a right not to be killed. Yet Draper ends with
the conclusion that sometimes recourse to war is justified. In
making his argument, he relies on the insights of John Locke to
develop and defend a framework of rights to serve as the foundation
for a new just war theory. Notably missing from that framework is
any doctrine of double effect. Most just war theorists rely on that
doctrine to justify injuring and killing innocent bystanders, but
Draper argues that various prominent formulations of the doctrine
are either untenable or irrelevant to the ethics of war. Ultimately
he offers a single principle for assessing whether recourse to war
would be justified. He also explores in some detail the issue of
how to distinguish discriminate from indiscriminate violence in
war, arguing that some but not all noncombatants are liable to
attack.
User-Generated Content and its Impact on Web-Based Library Services
examines the impact of user-generated content on web-based library
services. It begins with an overview of Web 2.0 tools and
technologies and a brief look at the emerging semantic tools of Web
3.0 and their implications for libraries. The book investigates the
changing role of the end user as both a creator and consumer of web
content and what this means for society s perception and
understanding of information. The author addresses the advantages
and challenges of using these tools to bring community expertise
and opinion into the library, from reinvention of the library
website as a community rather than a collection to the issues of
moderating user-generated content. The book also explores the
notion of low-fidelity authority, understanding that by
acknowledging the value in content that does not necessarily meet
traditional definition of authority, it creates the potential to
achieve a much greater level of relevance and engagement with
users. Throughout the book, conceptual discussion is illustrated
with real-world examples and practical suggestions for library
practitioners.
Relatively new and extremely relevant topic, with which many
libraries and librarians are currently grapplingProvides conceptual
discussion and practical examples of sound strategies for managing
user-generated contentThe book is about rethinking what we do as
librarians, and surrendering some of our traditional notions of
authority and control to the expertise that exists in the community

Stevens County was first inhabited by a Paleo-Indian culture that
occupied Kettle Falls along the Columbia River for 9,000 years. A
gathering place for several Salish Indian tribes, the area called
Shonitkwu, meaning "Falls of Boiling Baskets," was an abundant
resource for fishing--specifically salmon. Traveling downriver from
Kettle Falls to the trading post Spokane House in 1811, Canadian
fur trapper David Thompson described the village as "built of long
sheds of 20 feet in breadth" and noted the tribe's ceremonial
dances worshiping the arrival of salmon. In 1829, Fort Colville was
producing large amounts of food from local crops. And in 1934, work
began on the Columbia Dam to generate a much-needed power source
for irrigation from the Columbia River. Upon its completion in
1940, the native tribes gathered one last time, not to celebrate
the return of the salmon but for a "ceremony of tears" on the
salmon's departure.
THE NO. 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER This is Going to Hurt was the
publishing phenomenon of the century, read by many millions, loved
by at least fifty of them, and adapted into a major TV series. But
it was only part of the story. By turns hilarious, heartbreaking
and humbling, Undoctored is about what happens when a doctor hangs
up his scrubs, but medicine refuses to let go of him. It's about an
extraordinary medical school education. It's about opening old
wounds and examining the present-day scars. It's about hospital
admissions and personal ones. It's about blowing up your life and
stitching it back together. It's about being a doctor and being a
patient. It's about 300 pages long. Undoctored is Adam Kay's
funniest and most moving book yet - an astonishing portrait of a
life in and out of medicine, from one of Britain's finest
storytellers.
