Ambitious Brew
Author: Maureen Ogle
Publisher: HMH
ISBN: 0547536917
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
A “fascinating and well-documented social history” of American beer, from the immigrants who invented it to the upstart microbrewers who revived it (Chicago Tribune). Grab a pint and settle in with AmbitiousBrew, the fascinating, first-ever history of American beer. Included here are the stories of ingenious German immigrant entrepreneurs like Frederick Pabst and Adolphus Busch, titans of nineteenth-century industrial brewing who introduced the pleasures of beer gardens to a nation that mostly drank rum and whiskey; the temperance movement (one activist declared that “the worst of all our German enemies are Pabst, Schlitz, Blatz, and Miller”); Prohibition; and the twentieth-century passion for microbrews. Historian Maureen Ogle tells a wonderful tale of the American dream—and the great American brew. “As much a painstakingly researched microcosm of American entrepreneurialism as it is a love letter to the country’s favorite buzz-producing beverage . . . ‘Ambitious Brew’ goes down as brisk and refreshingly as, well, you know.” —New York Post

Comrades and Chicken Ranchers
Author: Kenneth Kann
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 9780801480751
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
This book is a portrait of the Petaluma Jewish community from the early years of the century to the present day. Kenneth L. Kann interviewed more than two hundred residents, representing three generations of Jewish Americans. The picture that emerges from their testimony is of a wonderfully animated and fractious community. Its history blends many of the familiar themes of American Jewish life into a richly individual tapestry. In the first few decades of this century, many Jewish immigrants from Russia and Eastern Europe wound up in Petaluma. This first generation of chicken farmers consisted largely of educated, often professional men and women; many were drawn to chicken farming as much by Marxist or Zionist beliefs in the dignity of labor as by economic necessity. They helped establish the particular character of a community, with its combination of arduous work and cultural aspiration.

The Flaming Sword
Author: David R. Brown
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1643506951
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 581
Book Description
Since the beginning of the Neolithic revolution, a pervasive phantom has haunted humanity. It neither rustles nor rattles, nor moans upon the moors. Rather, its apparition is accompanied by the continuous, unbroken rasp of the human race, who, unified in dread, have emitted one solemn plea to a world rent asunder by evil and the abandonment of reason. That sound is the question why? All people have asked this, when evil overtakes them. Formal attempts have been carefully deliberated, for twelve thousand years, to resolve this gripping human dilemma: why is there wrong and suffering. And more tormentingly, why, if there is a God, does evil exist? How can it exist? Many have the answer, only to be turned away. Now, it can be answered. Everyone has heard the story of Adam and Eve, their fall from God, and the angel posted at Paradise to turn them away. The story of fallen, broken man is well known, and his journey through a world wracked with madness and pain is well documented. But what if the real story was skipped over by the narrative? What if the angel at the gates of Paradise was only a figurehead of something much larger? The Flaming Sword is a guard to a gate: but the guard is more than a mere angel, and what it guards is more than the perfect place. It guards perfection itself. Like the angel at Eden, it is programmed to attack whatever nears it charge, including mankind. Be warned, and take heed: for the answer may be far more haunting than the question ever dreamed.

Artificial
Author: Alan Leibert
Publisher: Austin Macauley Publishers
ISBN: 1035864584
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
Technology is just a tool to permit humans to perform new tasks as well as existing tasks better, faster and cheaper. However, as technology improves, so do the opportunities for its use in more divergent ways as a force for both good and evil. The book delves into the inevitable clash of these opposing forces, painting a vivid picture of the technology wars that loom on the horizon, seemingly unstoppable by human intervention alone. Amidst this battle, AI emerges as a potential bridge between the warring factions. However, the biases instilled in AI by its human creators raise the question of whether it can truly serve as an impartial mediator or if it will simply choose sides based on its own discretion. The author ponders whether granting AI the autonomy to develop new capabilities, free from human control, is the key to overcoming the forces of evil or if it is a case of jumping from the frying pan into the fire. This book takes readers on a captivating journey, examining the potential consequences of unchecked technological progress over the coming centuries. It serves as a thought-provoking exploration of the delicate balance between the benefits and risks of advanced technology, leaving readers to contemplate the future that awaits humanity.

The Hungry Brain
Author: Stephan J. Guyenet, Ph.D.
Publisher: Flatiron Books
ISBN: 1250081238
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year From an obesity and neuroscience researcher with a knack for engaging, humorous storytelling, The Hungry Brain uses cutting-edge science to answer the questions: why do we overeat, and what can we do about it? No one wants to overeat. And certainly no one wants to overeat for years, become overweight, and end up with a high risk of diabetes or heart disease--yet two thirds of Americans do precisely that. Even though we know better, we often eat too much. Why does our behavior betray our own intentions to be lean and healthy? The problem, argues obesity and neuroscience researcher Stephan J. Guyenet, is not necessarily a lack of willpower or an incorrect understanding of what to eat. Rather, our appetites and food choices are led astray by ancient, instinctive brain circuits that play by the rules of a survival game that no longer exists. And these circuits don’t care about how you look in a bathing suit next summer. To make the case, The Hungry Brain takes readers on an eye-opening journey through cutting-edge neuroscience that has never before been available to a general audience. The Hungry Brain delivers profound insights into why the brain undermines our weight goals and transforms these insights into practical guidelines for eating well and staying slim. Along the way, it explores how the human brain works, revealing how this mysterious organ makes us who we are.
