As Mark Brewer explains in his introduction, "Beer is one of the
oldest beverages known to man . . . and woman! In fact women were
the first brewers since one of their primary responsibilities
involved cooking. Years ago beer was considered a food as well as a
drink. Beer provided many of the calories needed for one's daily
diet. Dating back all the way to the fifth millennium BC, beer was
recorded by the ancient Egyptian scribes, who also created an extra
hieroglyph specifically for "brewer." Historians tell us that beer
was used as a method to compensate laborers who were building the
pyramids. Perhaps more importantly, if an Egyptian man offered a
woman a sip of his brew, they were betrothed." Starting with an
introduction to the history of beer, this A Z dictionary takes a
humorous looks at the various types of beer and common verbiage
associated with it while educating the reader in the process.
Covering everything from Abbey to Aging, Hops to Head Retention,
and Skunky to Stout, Mark Brewer's Brewology is perfect for beer
lovers everywhere. Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Good Books

The book shows how risk, defined as the statistical expectation of
loss, can be formally decomposed as the product of two terms:
hazard probability and system vulnerability. This requires a
specific definition of vulnerability that replaces the many fuzzy
definitions abounding in the literature. The approach is expanded
to more complex risk analysis with three components rather than
two, and with various definitions of hazard. Equations are derived
to quantify the uncertainty of each risk component and show how the
approach relates to Bayesian decision theory. Intended for
statisticians, environmental scientists and risk analysts
interested in the theory and application of risk analysis, this
book provides precise definitions, new theory, and many examples
with full computer code. The approach is based on straightforward
use of probability theory which brings rigour and clarity. Only a
moderate knowledge and understanding of probability theory is
expected from the reader.

Talk of politics in the United States today is abuzz with warring
red and blue factions. The message is that Americans are split due
to deeply-held beliefs-over abortion, gay marriage, stem-cell
research, prayer in public schools. Is this cultural divide a myth,
the product of elite partisans? Or is the split real? Yes, argue
authors Mark Brewer and Jeffrey Stonecash-the cultural divisions
are real. Yet they tell only half the story. Differences in income
and economic opportunity also fuel division-a split along class
lines. Cultural issues have not displaced class issues, as many
believe. Split shows that both divisions coexist meaning that
levels of taxation and the quality of healthcare matter just as
much as the debate over the right to life versus the right to
choose. The authors offer balanced, objective analysis, complete
with a wealth of data-rich figures and tables, to explain the
social trends underlying these class and cultural divides and then
explore the response of the parties and voters. Offering solid
empirical evidence, the authors show that how politicians, the
media, and interest groups perceive citizen preferences-be they
cultural or class based-determines whether or not the public gets
what it wants. Simply put, each set of issues creates political
conflict and debate that produce very different policies and laws.
With a lively and highly readable narrative, students at every
level will appreciate the brevity and punch of Split and come away
with a more nuanced understanding of the divisions that drive the
current American polity.
