The Seafood Shack - Food & Tales from Ullapool (Hardcover): Kirsty Scobie, Fenella Renwick The Seafood Shack - Food & Tales from Ullapool (Hardcover)

Winner of 2021 National Geographic Traveller Reader Award for 'Best Food & Travel Book' Shortlisted for the Guild of Food Writers First Book and Single Subject Book Awards 2021 Gourmand Cookbook Award Winner 2020 In 2016 two locals, frustrated at the lack of opportunities to eat the seafood landed in Ullapool, started a seafood shack on the harbour of the North West Highlands town. Serving up whatever their fishermen friends brought them every day, Kirsty Scobie and Fenella Renwick's crowd funded project was an instant success and a new book, to be published in November, brings this to life. In their first book, Kirsty and Fenella tell the story of Ullapool's Seafood Shack and bring together the recipes for the fresh, vibrant, ballsy dishes that have made The Seafood Shack such a Scottish treasure: from their famed Haddock & Pesto Wrap and the super-luxe Lobster Mac & Cheese to incredible super-local delicacies like Spiney Popcorn. The Seafood Shack was born out of a conversation between Kirsty and Fenella out at sea with their fishermen partners. Ullapool has around twelve local boats fishing in the clear, icy waters of The Minch: five prawn trawlers and seven inshore creel boats, with a further two crabbing boats coming in each week and ten or so white fish boats landing regularly. The vast majority of this huge variety of seafood landing daily was then transferred straight onto the back of a lorry, making it difficult to source it locally. Eager to keep a little fresh seafood for their hometown, Kirsty and Fenella opened up The Seafood Shack. The shack swiftly went onto win recognition, winning the BBC Food & Farming Award for Best Street food or Takeaway in 2017 and hosting visits from the likes of Mary Berry and Albert Roux. Kirsty says: "Many tonnes of seafood are caught in our Scottish seas and then transported straight out of Ullapool. We wanted to play a part in keeping some of our seafood local and so the Seafood Shack was born. What we really love now is being behind the hatches, cooking away and chatting to our customers as they devour a haddock wrap or peel open some fresh buttery langoustines. The book tells this story and shares our approach. What makes the Shack so wonderful to us is its relaxed feel and we don't have to be stuck in a kitchen behind closed doors, we can be involved in every aspect. The food we cook is simple, quick but most importantly fresh and delicious." Punctuated by the voices of local fishermen, the book celebrates the fishing industry that has been the beating heart of Ullapool's village life for 230 years. With both Fenella and Kirsty's partners actively involved in fishing, The Seafood Shack also reflects the debate around sustainable fishing. Fenella says: "The people behind our seafood are a huge part of our story: from Josh's langoustines and lobsters, Gary's hand-dived scallops and Stephen's white fish to the team at our local smokehouse or Joe our oyster producer. These amazing people have been a massive part of our success: at the end of the day we're not amazing chefs, we're just two girls who love to cook and having such fantastic and fresh produce is what makes the Shack work." The Seafood Shack provides over 80 down to earth recipes and tips for cooking white fish, smoked fish and shellfish. Kirsty and Fenella's work on the book was recognised when they were announced as winners of the Jane Grigson Trust Award for New Writers earlier this year.

Composees a la demande de Louise-Dorothee de Saxe-Meiningen, admiratrice des ecrits historiques de Voltaire qui souhaitait lire une histoire du Saint Empire Romain Germanique issue de sa plume, les Annales de l'Empire se presentent comme le pendant de l'Abrege chronologique de l'histoire de France de Henault, ainsi que des Memoires pour servir a l'histoire de la maison de Brandebourg de Frederic II, que Voltaire avait lus a Potsdam en 1751. Flatte, l'historien se mit a la tache, heureux de pouvoir opposer une liste d'empereurs aux electeurs de Frederic. Ainsi propose-t-il l'histoire de l'Empire depuis Charlemagne jusqu'a Charles VI, dont la mort en 1740 donna lieu a la guerre de Succession d'Autriche, conflit dont la memoire allemande conservait encore le plus vif souvenir. L'ouvrage est compose a une allure rapide, Voltaire puisant dans les bibliotheques privees des amis qui le recoivent a tour de role au cours de ses peregrinations en 1753. Que le texte contienne des erreurs n'est guere surprenant, mais il ne merite pas de tomber dans l'oubli: comme toujours, le jugement personnel de Voltaire, historien et philosophe, apporte une perspective nouvelle aux evenements et aux personnages qui forment un corps qu'il declare 'ni saint, ni empire, ni romain'.

This volume brings together a range of miscellaneous short texts by Voltaire, mostly undated and principally manuscript fragments. From thoughts on the souls of animals, to how he organised his papers to a joke proxy granting unlimited powers to act on his behalf, these scraps shed light on Voltaire's working methods and on the possible subjects of texts that he never published. Most notably, it contains a supplement adding nineteen fragments to the edition of Voltaire's Notebooks (OCV, vol.81-82). Contributors: David Adams, Andrew Brown, Marie-Helene Cotoni, Nicholas Cronk, Jean Dagen, Stephanie Gehanne Gavoty, Myrtille Mericam-Bourdet, Christiane Mervaud, Gillian Pink, John Renwick, Gerhardt Stenger, David Williams.

Water is becoming an increasingly scarce commodity in many parts of the world. Population growth plus a growing appetite for larger quantities of cheap water quality as a result of urban, industrial, and agricultural pollution coupled with increasing environmental demands have further reduced usable suppliers. This book brings together thirty of the best economic articles addressing water scarcity issues within the US and Mexico. By touching on a number of different issues, this volume clearly articulates the need for improving existing institutional arrangements as well as for developing new arrangements to address growing water scarcity problems.

'If the United States does not lead, there will be no leadership. If the US instead turns inward, there will be a price to be paid later.' - George H. W. Bush Marking thirty years since the end of George H. W. Bush's presidency, Robin Renwick paints a warm, affectionate portrait of a President who sought to unify rather than divide his country, and whose staunch belief in diplomacy strengthened cooperation around the world. A True Statesman explores Bush's core belief in the United States as the 'indispensable nation' in helping to deal with world crises, charting his efforts to end the Cold War, secure the reunification of Germany and drive Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait. Extending beyond Bush's time in office, it also reflects on US foreign policy over the past three decades, examining the consequences of his successors' differing approaches to America's role on the world stage. Incisively written by a former British Ambassador to Washington, this insider account offers fresh insights into both the 41st President and America's foreign policy from Iran-Contra to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

This edition of Voltaire's "Fragments sur l'Inde" is the first ever scholarly critical edition of a neglected historical text from his later years. The work, first published in 1773, sees Voltaire returning to the subject of Indian history, which had interested him since the first drafts of the "Essai sur les moeurs" in the 1740s. Inspired by the prospect of rehabilitating the memory of the executed General Lally, the "Fragments sur l'Inde" are in two parts: the first explores recent colonial enterprises in India and the disastrous Pondicherry campaign, which was to cost Lally his life; while the second is a more general meditation on Indian history, religion and customs. This volume also contains a text attributable to Voltaire, the "Mandement du muphti, suivi d'un Decret du divan".

Assessment is messy. Day-to-day, in-the-moment assessments not only reveal information that drives future instruction but also offer a comprehensive picture of students' abilities and dispositions toward learning. As teachers, we might know what this looks and feels like, yet it can be hard to put into action-hence the messiness. Say hello to digital student portfolios-dynamic, digital collections of authentic information from different media, in many forms, and with multiple purposes. Using digital portfolios to capture student thinking and progress allows us to better see our students as readers, writers, and learners-and help students see themselves in the same way! Matt Renwick's Digital Portfolios in the Classroom is a guide to help teachers sort through, capture, and make sense of the messiness associated with assessment. By shining a spotlight on three types of student portfolios-performance, process, and progress-and how they can be used to assess student work, Renwick helps educators navigate the maze of digital tools and implement the results to drive instruction.

This volume brings together many of Voltaire's most controversial reflections on religion and philosophy. In "Le Philosophe ignorant" Voltaire summarises his doubts about the philosophers of his age and theories of systematization, seeking to show the limits of metaphysics. "L'Examen important de milord Bolingbroke" is a polemical work which uses the excuse of being a 'translation' of a letter from the English Lord Bolingbroke to diffuse Voltaire's own radical views. "Andre Destouches a Siam" is a satirical dialogue between a French musician and a Siamese bureaucrat, presenting a 'utopian' society in which the justice system is arbitrary, based on archaic traditions and religious fanaticism. "Les Questions de Zapata" was published as a pamphlet, purportedly by a professor of theology in Salamanca, on the inconsistencies of the Old and New Testament.

This book examines a new topic in Human Resource Management (HRM), green - or environmental - HRM, analysing the role humans play in environmental management at work and environmental behaviours at workplaces around the world. The book begins with a focus on negative workplace green behaviours (e.g. toxic chemical leaks, air pollution, contaminated waste etc.), and what such environmental problems mean for workers, managers and society as a whole. This book outlines relevant, underpinning academic theory and research literature on how HRM is 'going green', and details real-life organisational examples derived from original and secondary empirical research to illuminate the implications of adopting Green HRM practices for relevant stakeholders. In doing so, the book offers a new, academic contribution to both the HRM and environmental management literatures.

L'Essai sur les moeurs est une oeuvre complexe, aux contours mouvants. Comme le demontre l'ensemble de textes disparates reunis dans ce volume, Voltaire revient sans cesse a l'Essai, et l'evolution de l'oeuvre n'est aucunement lineaire. Une serie de complements a notre texte de base (l'edition dite 'encadree' de 1775) est donc presentee ici: trois textes parus dans l'edition encadree en guise de supplements; un premier Plan de l'oeuvre, qui date de 1745; des articles de journaux et des lettres qui s'inscrivent dans le cadre du debat autour de l'edition non autorisee de l'Abrege, parue en 1753; 'Le Chapitre des arts', projet d'une section de l'Essai restee a l'etat d'esquisse, dont la toute premiere edition critique est presentee ici; et des textes parus apres 1760 dans lesquels Voltaire repond a des critiques de l'oeuvre. Enfin, une description de l'index (par Simon Bigex) qui accompagne l'edition encadree de 1775; et les notes et remarques sur l'Essai redigees par Wagniere apres la mort de Voltaire completent ce recueil de textes annexes. Dans l'ensemble ces textes ajoutent a la toile de fond du developpement de l'Essai et de sa presentation. Ce volume se termine par une edition des Fragments sur l'histoire generale (1773) ou Voltaire privilegie les aspects de l'Essai qui s'etaient averes les plus controverses. Voltaire, combatif, rassure son public qu'il n'avait en rien renie les elements majeurs de sa philosophie de l'histoire.

Rudolf Steiner cautioned the first Steiner-Waldorf teachers to understand that it is not what we teach, but who we are, that is all-important when facing children in a classroom. In this helpful resource, Renwick draws from Rudolf Steiner's teachings in The Philosophy of Freedom and presents the wisdom from this text in an accessible and practical way. He explores the teacher's role and responsibility in leading young people to maturity. Awakening Spirit is brief, clear and comprehensive. It offers a new perspective on the importance of and the strengthening available to teachers through the study of Steiner's work.

La description des principaux pays dont il a fait l'examen dans les volumes precedents s'etend a present jusqu'a la moitie du dix-septieme siecle pour rejoindre le siecle de Louis XIV. Voltaire s'interesse a l'impact des evenements historiques sur le commerce et les arts. Il fait le point sur les progres accomplis a travers l'Europe et l'Asie en etalant un catalogue d'anecdotes extravagantes, et d'atrocites. Un debat avec les idees de Montesquieu, en particulier sur le despotisme, transparait dans certains chapitres. L'empire ottoman, la Perse, l'Inde sont presentes comme les defenseurs des droits de l'humanite et les promoteurs de la tolerance religieuse. L'importance de la civilisation europeenne est relativisee, et la Chine sert de point de comparaison pour se livrer a une critique des conditions de l'Europe. L'Essai sur les moeurs commencait et se terminera par une description de la Chine, ancienne et moderne, perspective hautement inhabituelle au dix-huitieme siecle.

Science and ethics are not usual bedfellows. Traditionally, ethical issues fall in the domain of the philosopher or the theologian and start with first principles. Courses on ethics usually stress the classics, telling students of the works of Kant or the Utilitarians, for example, and then posing ethical dilemmas to help the student work through the process of moral choice informed by knowledge of the canon in ethics. In this volume, we take a different tack. We present work that utilizes the tools of science broadly conceptualized to elucidate ethical issues, assuming that careful scientific analysis of ethical issues can reveal new insights. We supplement this with conversations with the authors some of them preeminent scientists addressing issues of ethics, including two Nobel laureates and a Templeton Winner to learn how they came to the study of ethics and ask how they conceptualize and think about ethical issues. This volume thus provides substantive insight into particular ethical issues, ranging from issues of torture during war to parents obligations to children, but it also reveals how a scientific approach might lead to different insights into these issues than does a more traditional approach. This book is designed as a complement to traditional texts on ethics and should appeal to students (undergraduate and graduate) of ethics as well as to the general public."

In 1762, Voltaire was at the height of his career, his output manifold and unceasing despite being close to 70 years of age. This was the period of Voltaire's life in which his famous battle cry - 'Ecrasez l'Infame!' was first used, as Voltaire's attacks on the Christian establishment came to a head with the case of Jean Calas, executed for murder in Toulouse, who Voltaire believed to be an innocent victim of anti-protestant prejudice. This volume contains Voltaire's monumental 'Traite sur la tolerance', a manifesto on religious fanaticism and superstition which calls for a new age of tolerance between religions following the injustice of Jean Calas' death.
