‘Sharing food is one of the purest human acts'
Food has always been an integral part of Stanley Tucci’s life: from
stracciatella soup served in the shadow of the Pantheon, to marinara
sauce cooked between rehearsals and costume fittings, to home-made
pizza eaten with his children before bedtime.
Now, in What I Ate in One Year Tucci records twelve months of eating,
in restaurants, kitchens, film sets, press junkets, at home and abroad,
with friends, with family, with strangers, and occasionally just by
himself.
Ranging from the mouth-wateringly memorable, to the comfortingly
domestic, to the infuriatingly inedible, the meals memorialized in this
diary are a prism through which he reflects on the ways his life, and
his family, are constantly evolving. Through food he marks – and mourns
– the passing of time, the loss of loved ones, and prepares himself for
what is to come.
Whether it’s duck à l’orange eaten with fellow actors and cooked by
singing Carmelite nuns, steaks barbecued at a gathering with friends,
or meatballs made by his mother and son and shared at the table with
three generations of his family, these meals give shape and richness to
his days.
Contemporary scholarly and popular debate over the legacy of racial
integration in the United States rests between two positions that
are typically seen as irreconcilable. On one side are those who
argue that we must pursue racial integration because it is an
essential component of racial justice. On the other are those who
question the ideal of integration and suggest that its pursuit may
damage the very population it was originally intended to liberate.
In An Impossible Dream? Sharon A. Stanley shows that much of this
apparent disagreement stems from different understandings of the
very meaning of integration. In response, she offers a new model of
racial integration in the United States that takes seriously the
concerns of longstanding skeptics, including black power activists
and black nationalists. Stanley reformulates integration to
de-emphasize spatial mixing for its own sake and calls instead for
an internal, psychic transformation on the part of white Americans
and a radical redistribution of power. The goal of her vision is
not simply to mix black and white bodies in the same spaces and
institutions, but to dismantle white supremacy and create a genuine
multiracial democracy. At the same time, however, she argues that
achieving this model of integration in the contemporary United
States would be extraordinarily challenging, due to the poisonous
legacy of Jim Crow and the hidden, self-reinforcing nature of white
privilege today. Pursuing integration against a background of
persistent racial injustice might well exacerbate black suffering
without any guarantee of achieving racial justice or a worthwhile
form of integration. Given this challenge, pessimism toward
integration is a defensible position. But while the future of
integration remains uncertain, its pursuit can neither be
prescribed as a moral obligation nor rejected as intrinsically
indefensible. In An Impossible Dream? Stanley dissects this vexing
moral and political quandary.

The Two Selves takes the position that the self is not a "thing"
easily reduced to an object of scientific analysis. Rather, the
self consists in a multiplicity of aspects, some of which have a
neuro-cognitive basis (and thus are amenable to scientific inquiry)
while other aspects are best construed as first-person
subjectivity, lacking material instantiation. As a consequence of
its potential immateriality, the subjective aspect of self cannot
be taken as an object and therefore is not easily amenable to
treatment by current scientific methods. Klein argues that to fully
appreciate the self, its two aspects must be acknowledged, since it
is only in virtue of their interaction that the self of everyday
experience becomes a phenomenological reality. However, given their
different metaphysical commitments (i.e., material and immaterial
aspects of reality), a number of issues must be addressed. These
include, but are not limited to, the possibility of interaction
between metaphysically distinct aspects of reality, questions of
causal closure under the physical, the principle of energy
conservation, and more. After addressing these concerns, Klein
presents evidence based on self-reports from case studies of
individuals who suffer from a chronic or temporary loss of their
sense of personal ownership of their mental states. Drawing on this
evidence, he argues that personal ownership may be the factor that
closes the metaphysical gap between the material and immaterial
selves, linking these two disparate aspects of reality, thereby
enabling us to experience a unified sense of self despite its
underlying multiplicity.
Starring New York considers twenty-one films in detail, and more
generally discusses many others, that were shot on location and
released between 1968 and 1981. Corkin looks at their complex
relationship to the fortunes of New York City during that era,
probing the multiple connections among film, history, and
geography. This period was a volatile moment in the history of the
city as it went from the hopefulness of the Lindsay years (1966 to
1973) to financial default in 1975, under the leadership of Abe
Beame to its reemergence as a center of international finance in
the 1980s, under the leadership of Edward I. Koch (1978 to 1989).
These changing regimes and fortunes form the backdrop for films
that picture New York's racial and ethnic populations, its decaying
districts, its violent street-life, and its emerging gentrification
by the later years of the decade. The films, directed by an
emerging generation of filmmakers influenced both by the Italian
neo-realists and the French auteurs, sought a higher realism than
that offered in conventional Hollywood productions. Martin
Scorsese, Francis Coppola, Sidney Lumet, Paul Mazursky, Woody
Allen, and John Schlesinger, all of whom became noted by a general
audience during this period, capture the excitement and volatility
of the period. More broadly, Starring New York proposes that this
concentration of popular films that picture the city in transition
provide viewers with a means to begin reorienting their view of New
York's space, their significance, and their relation to other
places of the globe.
There has been a wealth of recent research on the complex changes
involved in bread making and how they influence the many traits
consumers use to define quality. Bread making: improving quality
sums up this key research and what it means for improved process
control and a better, more consistent product.
After an introductory review of bread making as a whole part one
discusses wheat and flour quality. Chapter 3 summarises current
research on the structure of wheat, providing the context for
chapters on wheat proteins (chapters 5 and 6) and starch (chapter
7). There are also chapters on ways of measuring wheat and flour
quality, and improving flour for bread making. Part two reviews
dough formation and its impact on the structure and properties of
bread. It includes chapters on the molecular structure of dough,
foam formation and bread aeration together with discussion of the
role of key ingredients such as water. A final group of chapters
then discusses other aspects of quality such as improving taste and
nutritional properties, as well as preventing moulds and mycotoxin
contamination.
With its distinguished editor and international team of
contributors, Bread making: improving quality is a standard work
both for industry and the research community.
The world cries out for ethical leaders. We expect the best, but we
are often left profoundly disappointed. While leadership programs
may feature ethics as part of their curriculum, the approach
is often either simplistic or overly esoteric. This second
edition addresses this scarcity of resources for training
ethical leaders, providing a primer of several ethical
frameworks accompanied by extended examples to help inform
decision-making. It also addresses several leadership models
that claim an ethical component. The new edition
also includes new chapters on the ethics of care and toxic
leadership, and new case studies for all chapters. By
providing a consistent case analysis based on the Five Components
of Leadership Model, readers benefit from a comprehensive approach
to understanding ethical leadership. By using the Five Components
of Leadership Model as a consistent point of reference, McManus,
Ward, and Perry offer readers a variety of insights on ethical
leadership. Conclusions include the importance of drawing from
multiple ethical and leadership perspectives, moving away from
exclusively leader-centric approaches to ethical leadership, the
importance of asking questions to maximize self-awareness, and
considering multiple points of view whenever addressing an ethical
conundrum. To connect ‘ethical thinking’ and ‘ethical
doing,’ the text uses classroom-friendly framing questions,
timelines, visual models, summary tables, case studies, discussion
questions, and recommended resources for additional study. After
reading the book, students will bene?t from a foundational
understanding of theories and models of both ethics and leadership,
as well as a concrete view of what these theories and models look
like in practice. Professors will bene?t by having all of these
resources in one text, viewed through the lens of the Five
Components of Leadership Model. Striving to be both comprehensive
and approachable, this book is an excellent resource for
upper-level students studying leadership, especially those who are
new to philosophy or ethics. It is inclusive enough to serve as a
primary text or as a supplement for a well-rounded ethics or
leadership course.
Stanley Baxter delighted over 20 million viewers at a time with his
television specials. His pantos became legendary. His divas and
dames were so good they were beyond description. Baxter was a most
brilliant cowboy Coward, a smouldering Dietrich. He found immense
laughs as Formby and Liberace. And his sex-starved Tarzan swung in
a way Hollywood could never have imagined. But who is the real
Stanley Baxter? The comedy actor's talents are matched only by his
past reluctance to colour in the detail of his own character. Now,
the man behind the mischievous grin, the twinkling eyes and the
once- Brylcreemed coiffure is revealed. In a tale of triumphs and
tragedies, of giant laughs and great falls from grace, we discover
that while the enigmatic entertainer could play host to hundreds of
different voices, the role he found most difficult to play was that
of Stanley Baxter.
Sir Stanley Wells is one of the world's greatest authorities on
William Shakespeare. Here he brings a lifetime of learning and
reflection to bear on some of the most tantalising questions about
the poet and dramatist that there are. How did he think, feel, and
work? What were his relationships like? What did he believe about
death? What made him laugh? This freshly thought and immensely
engaging study wrestles with fundamental debates concerning
Shakespeare's personality and life. The mysteries of how
Shakespeare lived, whom and how he loved, how he worked, how he
produced some of the greatest and most abidingly popular works in
the history of world literature and drama, have fascinated readers
for centuries. This concise, crystalline book conjures illuminating
insights to reveal Shakespeare as he was. Wells brings the writer
and dramatist alive, in all his fascinating humanity, for readers
of today.

Create affordable solid fuel blends that will burn efficiently
while reducing the carbon footprint. Solid Fuel Blending Handbook:
Principles, Practices, and Problems describes a new generation of
solid fuel blending processes. The book includes discussions on
such topics as flame structure and combustion performance, boiler
efficiency, capacity as influenced by flue gas volume and
temperature, slagging and fouling, corrosion, and emissions.
Attention is given to the major types of combustion systems
including stokers, pulverized coal, cyclone, and fluidized bed
boilers. Specific topics considered include chlorine in one or more
coals, alkali metals (e.g., K, Na) and alkali earth elements, and
related topics.
Coals of consideration include Appalachian, Interior Province,
and Western bituminous coals; Powder River Basin (PRB) and other
subbituminous coals; Fort Union and Gulf Coast lignites, and many
of the off-shore coals (e.g., Adaro coal, an Indonesian
subbituminous coal with very low sulfur; other off-shore coals from
Germany, Poland, Australia, South Africa, Columbia, and more).
Interactions between fuels and the potential for blends to be
different from the parent coals will be a critical focus of this of
the book.

This commentary, like each in the series, is designed to serve
readers by demonstrating the continuing intellectual and practical
viability of theological interpretation of the Bible. Figures of
the classical church such as Augustine, Calvin, Luther, and Wesley
interpreted the Bible theologically, believing Scripture as a whole
witnessed to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Modern interpreters of the
Bible questioned this premise. But, in recent decades, a critical
mass of theologians and biblical scholars has begun to reassert the
priority of a theological reading of Scripture. The "SCM
Theological Commentary" series enlists leading theologians to read
and interpret Scripture for the twenty-first century, just as the
church fathers, the Reformers, and other orthodox Christians did
for their times and places.
