This up-to-date survey covers selected but vital aspects of fish processing with emphasis on quality, technology and nutraceutical applications. The aspects of seafood quality addressed range from the impact of slaughter procedures, through protein functionality, texture, flavor, histamine toxicity to the key aspects of practical evaluation of quality and measurement of fish content. Technological aspects concentrate on automation in fish processing, waste water treatment and possible uses for value added products from fish waste. With respect to novel applications of the marine resource, the important areas of marine nutraceuticals / functional foods are discussed in detail. This book is highly recommended for scientists and technologists in the seafood industries. It is also of proven value to fish processing professionals, quality managers, processors, nutritional and sensory scientists.
ABOUT THE BOOK The book is entitled History Wars and the Classroom:
Global Perspectives and examines how ten separate countries have
experienced debates and disputes over the contested nature of the
subject, for example the 'Black Armband' and 'Whitewash' factions
in Australia who adopt opposingly celebratory or denigratory views
of Australian history, especially when evaluating episodes of poor
racial relations. There are also tensions between
traditional/patriotic views of history teaching and reformed or
'new' history. There are issues of political control of the
curriculum and parallel issues of who writes it (very topical in
England at the moment over two expat 'big picture' historians who
work at Harvard and Columbia (Niall Ferguson and Simon Schama)).
ENDORSEMENTS: "An important collection for anyone seeking to
understand the incendiary nature of the history curriculum across
the globe." Sam Wineburg, Margaret Jacks Professor of Education and
History, Stanford University, USA. "A powerfully and impressively
wide-ranging collection of essays, which vividly remind us that the
debates on the teaching of history are global rather than merely
national". Sir David Cannadine, Dodge Professor of History,
Princeton University, USA. CONTENTS: Acknowledgements.

Set during the turbulent era of the Vietnam War, "Counters" is a
quirky, thrilling story of air combat and of the young fighter
pilots who blend the harsh reality of war with youth's untamed
urges.
As the pilot of a sleek F-4C Phantom II, self-doubting
Lieutenant Steve Mylder fights for his life in the skies above
Vietnam in 1967 but battles for his soul against the Red Baron of
his imagination. His cocky friend Avery-womanizer and master of the
art of combat seduction-thunders fifty feet over a North Vietnamese
beach, looks down, locks eyes with an improbable woman, and falls
into hopeless love.
Steve and Avery count their missions, hoping against the odds
that they'll make it back home alive instead of in a body bag. But
liberating the recklessness in their souls is sometimes the only
way to deal with the unknown, and the two friends soon realize that
growing up is a lot harder than they thought.
In "Counters," humor and whimsy counteract with authentic
details of air combat brought to life by former air force pilot
Tony Taylor, illuminating a brooding yet fanciful look at the
hormones and "warmones" that impel young men to war and
stupidity.

There is a fine line between love and hate, pain and pleasure. My
life cross's each of those lines, but to the very extreme. My life
story has been called gruesome, riveting, exciting, sorrowful and
tragic. I want to be able to add to that description; beautiful,
inspirational and worth living. That is going to be a hard task
considering the way I started out my life, and now the way I'm
ending it. My mother was a hard core drug user that exposed my
brothers and me to unspeakable tortures, famine, physical abuse,
sexual abuse and mental anguish. Each day life brought things to us
that most only see in their worst nightmares. I had become proud of
the fact that I picked myself up, and moved on. Considering what I
came from, I accomplished a lot. I got a business degree when I
turned eighteen. I bought a home, married and had children. Once I
began my life as an adult, life threw something else at me. After
the birth of my fourth child, it became very clear why I had
continually been sick for most of my life. We always say we'd like
to know what it is that is causing so much pain and illness. If we
just knew, then maybe we can fix it. What happens when you finally
find out, and realize there is no fixing it? That each day is going
to be worst than the last, and there is nothing anyone can do. I
got divorced, lost my children, my home and every ounce of hope I
had in me. I did things that I normally never would have done,
because finally I had given up. Through out my entire life I always
kept the hope that it's going to get better. Finally I've realized
that it's not going to get better. It's only going to get worse.
With all that in mind, I wake up every day and search for a cure. A
cure for the emptiness that has filled my heart, a cure for the
diseases that has taken my life, and a cure for the torment that
scratches at my soul. I hope in reading my book you'll see how
drugs can drastically affect our lives; that abuse is never ok and
it's always better to have loved and lost, than not to love at
all...

Denial is the first book to draw together the ideological and
psychological elements involved in historical denial. Tony Taylor
surveys major cases in 20th- and 21st-century historical denial
that illustrate the nature of prejudice and how it relates to
techniques of the instigators of denial, including their use of
popular media and the Internet. Among the issues canvassed are
denial and the Armenian atrocities as a governmental phenomenon;
Holocaust denial in Australia and overseas as a racist phenomenon;
Stalinist denial by Marxist historians post-1945 as an ideological
phenomenon; Japanese ultra-nationalist denial from the 1960s to
date as a cultural phenomenon; Serbian denial of 1990s Balkan
atrocities as an ethnic phenomenon, and others. At a time when most
debates seem to accept the arguments of the deniers at face value
the book will focus on the pathology of denial as an abuse of
history through wilful distortion of events and eager
self-deception. Denial is also now a major online industry:
hate/denial/conspiracy sites have proliferated in the past ten
years, a development complicated by new technological developments
such as blogging, the strategic diversion of readers from
apparently legitimate sites to racist sites, and the jamming of
mainstream sites with denial messages.
Saturday night, small town Wales, one pub, one party and three lads

bully. Their dream - to get the hell out Dead White Males:

Sorrento: "Has a moody, evocative, literary sweep and scope to it"
- Sydney Morning Herald Two: In 1948, in a German town, Anna comes
to Rabbi Chaim Levi for Hebrew lessons. As the two study the
language, their stories are gradually revealed, raising fundamental
moral questions as they try to reconcile their tormented pasts and
accept and renew their lives. The Popular Mechanicals: "One of the
most rollickingly entertaining nights in the theatre" (Sydney
Morning Herald)
Seafoods covers selected but vital topics of fish processing with
an emphasis on quality, technology and nutraceutical applications
in an up-to-date survey. The aspects of seafood quality covered
range from the impact of slaughter procedures, through protein
functionality, texture, flavour, histamine toxicity to the
practical evaluation of quality and measurement. Technological
aspects concentrate on automation in processing, waste-water
treatment and reuse of scraps. Marine nutraceuticals/functional
foods are discussed in detail. This book is highly recommended for
scientists and technologists in the seafood industries, plus fish
processing professionals, quality managers, and nutritonists..
