Neuware - 'With this new edition of Ice Carving Made Easy, Second Edition, Joe Amendola shares with all present and future ice carvers the resurgence of this historic art form. This book will guide and inspire thousands of chefs and artists to enjoy the artistic fulfillment, professionalism, and camaraderie of the exciting art of ice carving.' --Larry Malchick, President, National Ice Carving Association 'The information on the history, tools and accessories, different methods, types of ice blocks, and the safety and precautionary measures in ice carving will be of tremendous help to many young enthusiasts in their goal to become professional ice sculptors.' --Hiroshi Noguchi, C.E.C., A.A.C., Executive Chef, Stouffer Orlando Resort Here is the first new American ice carving manual to be released in ten years! Written by a culinary master, Joe Amendola, it addresses current developments in the field of ice carving. It emphasizes American and European subjects and designs in an attempt to offset the exclusivity of oriental designs in available Japanese books. The organization of Ice Carving Made Easy, Second Edition allows for carvers of every proficiency to use the book with success--each stage of creating a carving is discussed, from manufacturing of ice to the final presentation. Such introductory topics as the handling of ice, hand and power tools, and templates are described in as much detail and given as much attention as the more complex sections about carving faces, fusing, and developing multiple block sculptures. Each of the 34 ice sculptures that Amendola presents is supported by step-by-step instructions that allow the novice and expert alike to create show-pieces that will add a special touch to banquets, buffets, and special events.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This new text sets out to establish the key role played by systematics in deciphering patterns of evolution from the fossil record. It begins by considering the nature of the species in the fossil record and then outlines recent advances in the methodology used to establish phylogenetics relationships, stressing why fossil evidence can be crucial. The way species are grouped into higher taxa, and how this affects their utility in evolutionary studies is also discussed. Because the fossil record abounds with sampling and preservational biases, the book emphasizes that observed patterns can rarely be taken at face value. It is argued that evolutionary trees, constructed from combining phylogenetic and biostratigraphic data, provide the best approach for investigating patterns of evolution through geologic time.

Lockwood University of Surrey, UK This annual publication is a review of leading-edge research in tourism, recreation, hospitality management, hotel and catering, and related fields, with an emphasis on fields of rapid advance, international importance and major academic or professional concern. Now in its fifth volume, Progress has established itself as the leading guide to research trends in this rapidly developing field. The opportunity was taken to redesign the structure of Progress in Volume Four, and each volume now features substantive papers organised around two themes of key interest; in this volume, recreation and tourism in Europe, and human resource management in the hospitality industry. The concluding 'topical issues and trends' section also includes new regular features--including a detailed statistical section. These alterations reflect the suggestions and comments of users of the earlier three volumes and are designed to enhance the series' usefulness to both researchers and professionals.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Regarded as a seminal work in chemometrics, Information Theory as Applied to Chemical Analysis by Karel Eckscklager and Vladimir Stepanek shed light on the importance of information theory, stressing that the very mechanisms of information gathering are key to the quality of the analytical data collected. Continuing that examination, this new volume, Information Theory in Analytical Chemistry, looks at the practical applications of information theory, especially as a tool for optimizing chemical analysis. Complete with up-to-date examples from diverse areas such as toxicology, environmental science, and metallurgy, the book provides a workable framework for developing, optimizing, and assessing analytical procedures. Layer by layer, the analytical process is dismantled - and reassembled - so the reader develops a genuine, practice-oriented grasp of just how information theory shapes the chemical analysis process. Beginning with the fundamentals of information theory and analytical chemistry, the book then considers the systemic nature of chemical analysis, examining each of its facets: identification of components, trace analysis, qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis, multicomponent analysis, microanalysis, and surface or structure analysis. Up-to-date, detailed discussion includes: identification of an individual component or a group of compounds; effect of a priori knowledge of the sample on the information gain of the result; importance of calibration methods and reference material and their net effect on the precision and accuracy of results; choice of the optimum analytical method, criteria of selection; quality control, external and internal quality assurance; chemicalhomogeneity testing. Particularly important in trace and multivariate analysis, the book also sheds light on the information content inherent in analytical instrumentation, contrasting it with the true information gains of the analysis. Essential to understanding the individual steps of analytical process, this distinction allows for better evaluation and optimization of each step, including calibration and signal processing. The book also assesses the information contribution of key chemometric methods, such as cluster analysis, pattern recognition, and factorial data analysis, useful in multivariate or multicomponent analysis. This discussion, in turn, provides insight into the true character of multivariate data analysis, revealing it as not simply a string of single-component analyses done simultaneously, but rather a fragile, potentially bias-ridden mechanism with unique interpretive potential of its own. Complete with tables, diagrams, and examples, Information Theory in Analytical Chemistry is a practical handbook of enhanced analytical techniques that can sharply improve the quality of data collection as well as a user's understanding of the significance of information theory in each step of the entire chemical analysis process.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book introduces the methods of synoptic climatology -- the relationship between the atmospheric circulation and the surface environment -- and shows the vital importance of this approach in the understanding of environmental systems. This innovative and up-to-date text is both a primer for environmental scientists and a text in applied climatology for students of atmosphere science and geography. This book is constructed around the principal analytical methods of synoptic climatology: manual classification, correlation-based map-pattern classification, eigenvector-based classifications, composites and circulation indices. Four environmental scenarios illustrate the application of the synoptic climatological methods: these are urban air quality, acid rain, crop yield and fluvial hydrology.
