IACP Award Winner 2019 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the acclaimed French Laundry restaurant in the Napa Valley--"the most exciting place to eat in the United States" (The New York Times). The most transformative cookbook of the century celebrates this milestone by showcasing the genius of chef/proprietor Thomas Keller himself. Keller is a wizard, a purist, a man obsessed with getting it right. And this, his first cookbook, is every bit as satisfying as a French Laundry meal itself: a series of small, impeccable, highly refined, intensely focused courses. Most dazzling is how simple Keller's methods are: squeegeeing the moisture from the skin on fish so it sautees beautifully; poaching eggs in a deep pot of water for perfect shape; the initial steeping in the shell that makes cooking raw lobster out of the shell a cinch; using vinegar as a flavor enhancer; the repeated washing of bones for stock for the cleanest, clearest tastes. From innovative soup techniques, to the proper way to cook green vegetables, to secrets of great fish cookery, to the creation of breathtaking desserts; from beurre monte to foie gras au torchon, to a wild and thoroughly unexpected take on coffee and doughnuts, The French Laundry Cookbook captures, through recipes, essays, profiles, and extraordinary photography, one of America's great restaurants, its great chef, and the food that makes both unique. One hundred and fifty superlative recipes are exact recipes from the French Laundry kitchen--no shortcuts have been taken, no critical steps ignored, all have been thoroughly tested in home kitchens. If you can't get to the French Laundry, you can now re-create at home the very experience Wine Spectator described as "as close to dining perfection as it gets."

The authors explain the changes in the thermophysical and thermomechanical properties of polymer composites under elevated temperatures and fire conditions. Using microscale physical and chemical concepts they allow researchers to find reliable solutions to their engineering needs on the macroscale. In a unique combination of experimental results and quantitative models, a framework is developed to realistically predict the behavior of a variety of polymer composite materials over a wide range of thermal and mechanical loads. In addition, the authors treat extreme fire scenarios up to more than 1000?C for two hours, presenting heat-protection methods to improve the fire resistance of composite materials and full-scale structural members, and discuss their performance after fire exposure.Thanks to the microscopic approach, the developed models are valid for a variety of polymer composites and structural members, making this work applicable to a wide audience, including materials scientists, polymer chemists, engineering scientists in industry, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, and those working in the industry of civil infrastructure.

A compendium for wine lovers: a prominent vintner shares a lifetime of great wines, famous friends, deep knowledge, and insider insights Napa Valley Stories follows the calendar year, each chapter opening with the challenges and opportunities a winemaker faces that month-in the vineyard, winery, tasting room, and out on the road. In addition to the wine knowledge Tor imparts, the book relates stories of his friendships with legends of the modern American food and wine scene, including Julia Child, Andre Tchelistcheff, and Robert Mondavi, among others.An iconic winemaker, Tor has written, taught, and lectured on wine most of his adult life. What he is most often asked about are not facts or numbers about his wines, but the stories behind them. These are stories of inspiration and wisdom that shaped his journey. With this insider's book on wine, Tor offers entertaining insights into an often intimidating and complex but highly enjoyable world.

Tihany's interior design represents the pinnacle of contemporary restaurant and hotel design. Adam D. Tihany is widely regarded as the world's preeminent hospitality designer - his fluid, profoundly diverse design vocabulary has for decades affected change and influenced the global luxury market, a market that has embraced his complex mix of design, worldliness, provocation, and pampering. Energy, excitement, and spontaneity, along with careful attention to the smallest detail, characterize Tihany's work, and this book offers an in-depth tour of the designer's most spectacular projects, including the restaurants Le Cirque, Per Se, and Daniel in New York, Aureole in Las Vegas, and Apsley's in London, as well as the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Las Vegas and the Westin Chosun Hotel in Seoul. Tihany's irrepressibly original and impeccably executed designs have over the decades influenced a generation of designers of restaurants and hotels and have captured the imaginations of countless diners and guests, making Tihany the undisputed master of the art of hospitality design.

Fatigue has long been recognized as a mechanism that can provoke catastrophic material failure in structural applications and researchers are now turning to the development of prediction tools in order to reduce the cost of determining design criteria for any new material. Fatigue of Fiber-reinforced Composites explains these highly scientific subjects in a simple yet thorough way. Fatigue behavior of fiber-reinforced composite materials and structural components is described through the presentation of numerous experimental results. Many examples help the reader to visualize the failure modes of laminated composite materials and structural adhesively bonded joints. Theoretical models, based on these experimental data, are demonstrated and their capacity for fatigue life modeling and prediction is thoroughly assessed. Fatigue of Fiber-reinforced Composites gives the reader the opportunity to learn about methods for modeling the fatigue behavior of fiber-reinforced composites, about statistical analysis of experimental data, and about theories for life prediction under loading patterns that produce multiaxial fatigue stress states. The authors combine these theories to establish a complete design process that is able to predict fatigue life of fiber-reinforced composites under multiaxial, variable amplitude stress states. A classic design methodology is presented for demonstration and theoretical predictions are compared to experimental data from typical material systems used in the wind turbine rotor blade industry. Fatigue of Fiber-reinforced Composites also presents novel computational methods for modeling fatigue behavior of composite materials, such as artificial neural networks and genetic programming, as a promising alternative to the conventional methods. It is an ideal source of information for researchers and graduate students in mechanical engineering, civil engineering and materials science.

"Under Pressure," writes Harold McGee in his introduction to this, the first book written in English on cooking sous vide, "introduces cooks to one of the most important culinary innovations of modern times."
An uncommonly grand claim coming from so precise a scientist and writer, but such is the power of this controversial method. "Thomas Keller and his chefs," McGee continues, "illustrate the powers of precision heating with dozens of dishes that wouldn't be as fine, or even conceivable, without it."
Sous vide method comprises a group of techniques that allows the cook to realize flavors and textures that no other cooking method can. By sealing food in plastic and submerging it at exact temperatures for minutes or for days-food that is traditionally braised, sauteed, roasted, or poached-we can attain astonishing results. The tough cuts of meat we once braised in simmering stock can now be cooked sous vide to a medium-rare pink, juicy and meltingly tender. Lamb loin, veal tenderloin, and other larger cuts of meat, difficult to cook evenly, emerge uniform throughout. Delicate fish is enhanced and the margin of error reduced. Vegetables and fruits, cooked in an oxygen-free environment, remain vividly colored. And, because the food is sealed in plastic, its flavor is never lost to the cooking water or the atmosphere. Carrots taste more like carrots, apples more like apples. Small amounts of herbs and other aromatics can have dramatic effects. Cold techniques are valuable as well. Marinades used with meats "en sous vide "are powerfully effective. Various fruits and vegetables, such as melons, cucumbers, and pineapple, become new when compressed.
"Under Pressure: Cooking SousVide "is an invaluable contribution to our culinary world at a time of unprecedented interest in food and cooking, both in the restaurant kitchen and at home. The most critical aspect of sous vide lies in discovering what combination of time and temperature achieves the most sublime results. The answers, as discovered and practiced during the past decade by the chefs of The French Laundry and per se, two of the most respected restaurants in the world, are all here, within the innovative recipes from Keller's landmark restaurants.
"Under Pressure "is a source of instruction, technique, and recipes for anyone who wants to experience the new ideas sous vide makes possible, inspiration for what is possible and what might be.

Thomas Keller, chef/proprieter of Napa Valley's French Laundry, is passionate about bistro cooking. He believes fervently that the real art of cooking lies in elevating to excellence the simplest ingredients; that bistro cooking embodies at once a culinary ethos of generosity, economy, and simplicity; that the techniques at its foundation are profound, and the recipes at its heart have a powerful ability to nourish and please.
So enamored is he of this older, more casual type of cooking that he opened the restaurant Bouchon, right next door to the French Laundry, so he could satisfy a craving for a perfectly made quiche, or a gratineed onion soup, or a simple but irresistible roasted chicken. Now Bouchon, the cookbook, embodies this cuisine in all its sublime simplicity.
But let's begin at the real beginning. For Keller, great cooking is all about the virtue of process and attention to detail. Even in the humblest dish, the extra thought is evident, which is why this food tastes so amazing: The onions for the onion soup are caramelized for five hours; lamb cheeks are used for the navarin; basic but essential refinements every step of the way make for the cleanest flavors, the brightest vegetables, the perfect balance--whether of fat to acid for a vinaigrette, of egg to liquid for a custard, of salt to meat for a duck confit.
Because versatility as a cook is achieved through learning foundations, Keller and Bouchon executive chef Jeff Cerciello illuminate all the key points of technique along the way: how a two-inch ring makes for a perfect quiche; how to recognize the right hazelnut brown for a brown butter sauce; how far to caramelize sugar for different uses.
Butlearning and refinement aside--oh those recipes! Steamed mussels with saffron, bourride, trout grenobloise with its parsley, lemon, and croutons; steak frites, beef bourguignon, chicken in the pot--all exquisitely crafted. And those immortal desserts: the tarte Tatin, the chocolate mousse, the lemon tart, the profiteroles with chocolate sauce. In Bouchon, you get to experience them in impeccably realized form.
This is a book to cherish, with its alluring mix of recipes and the author's knowledge, warmth, and wit: "I find this a hopeful time for the pig," says Keller about our yearning for the flavor that has been bred out of pork. So let your imagination transport you back to the burnished warmth of an old-fashioned French bistro, pull up a stool to the zinc bar or slide into a banquette, and treat yourself to truly great preparations that have not just withstood the vagaries of fashion, but have improved with time. Welcome to Bouchon.

Named a Best Book of 2020 by Publisher's Weekly Named a Best Cookbook of 2020 by Amazon and Barnes & Noble “Every elegant page projects Keller’s high standard of ‘perfect culinary execution’. . . . This superb work is as much philosophical treatise as gorgeous cookbook.”—Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW Bound by a common philosophy, linked by live video, staffed by a cadre of inventive and skilled chefs, the kitchens of Thomas Keller’s celebrated restaurants—The French Laundry in Yountville, California, and per se, in New York City—are in a relationship unique in the world of fine dining. Ideas bounce back and forth in a dance of creativity, knowledge, innovation, and excellence. It’s a relationship that’s the very embodiment of collaboration, and of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. And all of it is captured in The French Laundry, Per Se, with meticulously detailed recipes for 70 beloved dishes, including Smoked Sturgeon Rillettes on an Everything Bagel, “The Whole Bird,” Tomato Consommé, Celery Root Pastrami, Steak and Potatoes, Peaches ’n’ Cream. Just reading these recipes is a master class in the state of the art of cooking today. We learn to use a dehydrator to intensify the flavor and texture of fruits and vegetables. To make the crunchiest coating with a cornstarch–egg white paste and potato flakes. To limit waste in the kitchen by fermenting vegetable trimmings for sauces with an unexpected depth of flavor. And that essential Keller trait, to take a classic and reinvent it: like the French onion soup, with a mushroom essence stock and garnish of braised beef cheeks and Comté mousse, or a classic crème brûlée reimagined as a rich, creamy ice cream with a crispy sugar tuile to mimic the caramelized coating. Throughout, there are 40 recipes for the basics to elevate our home cooking. Some are old standbys, like the best versions of beurre manié and béchamel, others more unusual, including a ramen broth (aka the Super Stock) and a Blue-Ribbon Pickle. And with its notes on technique, stories about farmers and purveyors, and revelatory essays from Thomas Keller—“The Lessons of a Dishwasher,” “Inspiration Versus Influence,” “Patience and Persistence”—The French Laundry, Per Se will change how young chefs, determined home cooks, and dedicated food lovers understand and approach their cooking.

Thomas Keller shares family-style recipes that you can make any or every day.
In the book every home cook has been waiting for, the revered Thomas Keller turns his imagination to the American comfort foods closest to his heart flaky biscuits, chicken pot pies, New England clam bakes, and cherry pies so delicious and redolent of childhood that they give Proust's madeleines a run for their money. Keller, whose restaurants The French Laundry in Yountville, California, and Per Se in New York have revolutionized American haute cuisine, is equally adept at turning out simpler fare.
In "Ad Hoc at Home" a cookbook inspired by the menu of his casual restaurant Ad Hoc in Yountville he showcases more than 200 recipes for family-style meals. This is Keller at his most playful, serving up such truck-stop classics as Potato Hash with Bacon and Melted Onions and grilled-cheese sandwiches, and heartier fare including beef Stroganoff and roasted spring leg of lamb. In fun, full-color photographs, the great chef gives step-by-step lessons in kitchen basics here is Keller teaching how to perfectly shape a basic hamburger, truss a chicken, or dress a salad. Best of all, where Keller s previous best-selling cookbooks were for the ambitious advanced cook, "Ad Hoc at Home" is filled with quicker and easier recipes that will be embraced by both kitchen novices and more experienced cooks who want the ultimate recipes for American comfort-food classics.

This concise volume provides a widely accessible introduction to OFDM and MC-CDMA. Based on the authors' experience in researching OFDM in the context of various applications, it systematically converts the lessons of Shannon's information theory into practical wireless system design examples. Comprehensive coverage of OFDM, MIMO-OFDM and MC-CDMA is presented, incorporating radically new research-oriented principles. A further strength of this primer is that it considers the ambitious aim of achieving near-maximum-likelihood multi-user MIMO-OFDM performance at a modest complexity, proposing an advanced extension of the Complex Sphere Detector (CSD). This technique allows the system to support a higher number of OFDM/MC-CDMA users than the number of antennas even in the case of high-throughput QAM schemes. The design and performance of OFDM modems are highlighted, covering both Gaussian and wideband fading channels, frequency domain synchronization as well as adaptive single- and multi-user OFDM Offers a comparative study of OFDM and MC-CDMA, discussing spreading sequences, adaptive modulation and the attainable performance in synchronous environments Contains an advanced section on genetic algorithm aided joint multi-user channel estimation techniques for multi-user SDMA-OFDM Introduces an avant-garde design principle, which aims for directly minimizing the bit error ratio (BER) at the output of the multi-user OFDM system

As an introductory treatment of the complex subject of OFDM, this primer text will be attractive to a wide readership, including postgraduate students, systems and development engineers, as well as communications managers and practitioner.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europa - and. Lander - Neuzeit, Absolutismus, Industrialisierung, Note: 1,7, Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin (Institut fur Geschichtswissenschaften), Veranstaltung: PS 51310: Reformation und Konfessionalisierung in der Mark Brandenburg, 18 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Kommentar der Dozentin: Insgesamt schone, gut formulierte und gegliederte Arbeit + differenzierte Argumentation Anstelle des histor. Uberblicks hatte ich mir eher einen Uberblick uber die gegenwartige Forschungslage gewunscht, etwa zu dem von B. Kletzin hg. Sammelband oder dem Sammelband von Lademacher. Da es Ihnen gut gelingt, den historischen Toleranz-Begriff vom heutigen abzugrenzen bewerte ich die Arbeit (trotz der kleinen "Fehler" in der Einleitung) mit sehr gut., Abstract: Wenn heute im Bundesland Brandenburg - das geografisch nicht mit dem Kurfurstentum Brandenburg identisch ist, oder genauer gesagt nur Teile dessen umfasst - Rechtsextreme aus politischen oder rassistischen Motiven Gewalttaten begehen, sind Politiker jeder Couleur schnell bei der Hand mit Ratschlagen zur Besinnung auf die angebliche brandenburgisch-preussische Tugend der Toleranz. Dieser Bezug in die unmittelbare Gegenwart macht es interessant zu beleuchten, ob und inwiefern es historisch gesehen in Brandenburg-Preussen Toleranz gegeben hat. In einem ersten Schritt muss definiert werden, was unter Toleranz zu verstehen ist, ein aktives Tolerieren oder ein passives Erdulden. Hierzu werden der historische und der aktuelle Toleranzbegriff nebeneinander gestellt. Der Staat Brandenburg-Preussen nahm im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert zahlreiche Fluchtlinge und sonstige Immigranten mit den verschiedensten Hintergrunden auf. So kamen in die Mark Brandenburg neben zahlreichen Hugenotten, Niederlandern und Salzburgern auch Bohmen, einige Juden sowie verschiedene andere kleinere und grossere Gruppen. Fur diese Arbeit wurden verschiedene bohmische Immigr
