This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the
38th International Workshop on Graph Theoretic Concepts in Computer
Science (WG 2012) held in Jerusalem, Israel on June 26-28, 2012.
The 29 revised full papers presented were carefully selected and
reviewed from 78 submissions. The papers are solicited describing
original results on all aspects of graph-theoretic concepts in
Computer Science, e.g. structural graph theory, sequential,
parallel, randomized, parameterized, and distributed graph and
network algorithms and their complexity, graph grammars and graph
rewriting systems, graph-based modeling, graph-drawing and layout,
random graphs, diagram methods, and support of these concepts by
suitable implementations. The scope of WG includes all applications
of graph-theoretic concepts in Computer Science, including data
structures, data bases, programming languages, computational
geometry, tools for software construction, communications,
computing on the web, models of the web and scale-free networks,
mobile computing, concurrency, computer architectures, VLSI,
artificial intelligence, graphics, CAD, operations research, and
pattern recognition
This book looks at the intersection of celebrity and design,
through the case of twenty-five houses designed by great architects
for their informed, trend-setting, and extremely famous clients, in
Southern California. Included are gorgeous photos of the houses as
well as little seen informal portraits of the stars and wonderfully
detailed texts that tell the story of these members of the
glitterati, touching on film, fashion, architecture, and the
everyday lives of legends. Hollywood Modern spans the modern era,
from moderne homes of the 1930s, through mid-century modern
designs, to the present day. Hollywood Modern touches on the many
moods of modernism. From Ed Niles Johnny Carson House in Malibu,
which creates a ficus tree forest that extends from the garden
directly into the house, to the machine-age austerity of Richard
Neutra's Von Sternberg House, (later owned by The Fountainhead
author Ayn Rand), to A. Quincy Jones' crisply, elegantly
ultramodern Gary Cooper House in Holmby Hills, these houses edit,
rearrange and direct our point of view much like the carefully
composed version of reality we see in motion pictures. These
different styles co-exist as modernism and stand in distinct
contrast to the Mediterranean villas and Spanish Colonial manses of
early Hollywood.

Duncan Hines (1880--1959) may be best known for the cake mixes,
baked goods, and bread products that bear his name, but most people
forget that he was a real person and not just a fictitious figure
invented for the brand. America's pioneer restaurant critic, Hines
discovered his passion while working as a traveling salesman during
the 1920s and 1930s -- a time when food standards were poorly
enforced and safety was a constant concern. He traveled across
America discovering restaurants and offering his recommendations to
readers in his best-selling compilation Adventures in Good Eating
(1935). The success of this work and of his subsequent publications
led Hines to manufacture the extremely popular food products that
we still enjoy today.
In Duncan Hines, author Louis Hatchett explores the story of the
man, from his humble beginnings in Bowling Green, Kentucky, to his
lucrative licensing deal with Proctor & Gamble. Following the
successful debut of his restaurant guide, Hines published his first
cookbook, Adventures in Good Cooking (1939), at the age of 59 and
followed it with The Dessert Book (1955). These culinary classics
included recipes from many of the establishments he visited on his
travels, favorites handed down through his family for generations,
and new dishes that contained unusual ingredients for the era. Many
of the recipes served as inspiration for mixes that eventually
became available under the Duncan Hines brand.
This authoritative biography is a comprehensive account of the
life and legacy of a savvy businessman, American icon, and an
often-overlooked culinary pioneer whose love of good food led to
his name becoming a grocery shelf favorite. Hatchett offers
insightful commentary into the man behind the cake mix boxes and
how he paved the way for many others like him.

Part memoir, part guidebook, part cookbook, and all parts
hilarious, Two for the Road shares the lessons the Sterns have
learned during thirty years of sampling regional fare on America's
back roads. If you want a great restaurant, forget the Yellow
Pages, ask the local cop--and avoid anything that calls itself
"world famous." Sure bets are places with a giant plastic pig on
the roof or pictures of Jesus on the walls. As the Sterns search
for the Holy Grail of barbecue, they relate achingly funny
adventures and misadventures, and what emerges is a big picture of
America, revealing exotic eating customs that flourish right under
our noses.
Michael Stern, PhD, is a clinical psychologist practicing in New
York and New Jersey. He is an adjunct associate professor at
Teachers' College of Columbia University, and a clinical supervisor
in a number of other academic institutes. He has worked and
published in the field of the human-animal bond, is counseling
bereaved pet owners, and is currently involved in assisting pet
owners who are threatened with evictions and legal actions by their
landlords. This activity grew out of frequently asked questions at
book signing events, radio call-in shows, and television
interviews, when it became clear that too many people are forced to
part with their pets because of housing restrictions. Stern's
experience with various age groups serves as background to many of
the chapters in Loving and Losing a Pet. In following the meaning
that pet ownership has in different phases of life, one can gain a
better appreciation of the bonds that develop. It also enhances
one's understanding of the grief involved in losing a pet at any of
these phases. The book is based on real people with real pets. The
many anecdotes that are offered as illustrations were taken from
the professional experience of the book's coauthor, Susan Cropper,
a veterinarian with a unique home visiting practice in northern New
Jersey. Such an approach made it easier to address practical issues
and concerns in a clear and specific manner, while all along
preserving the authors' awe and appreciation of the wonderful bond
between people and their pets.
For over 50 years Birkby has written a weekly column for her hometown paper containing recipes, stories of friends and family, and her personal philosophy of life. This volume contains the best of these recipes and stories from the 1940s and 1950s.
