Book Description
These 15 essays are filled with the products of a curious mind, set loose with the time and means to explore anything of interest. They were written under the auspices of the Chicago Literary Club, one of the oldest and most regarded institutions of its kind, and presented, one per year between 2005 and 2019 by the author. The topics range from an exploration of the role of the humble French Fry in global history and culture, to a tour through the Masai Valley of Kenya to explore the fate of giant animals in a modernizing world, to an introduction to Samuel Johnson, one of the most articulate and revered Englishmen of all time and his sidekick and naughty biographer James Boswell, to a dive into the history and future of the Electoral College and all its faults, to the story of a long relationship with one of the men who created McDonald's, Dick McDonald. The essays continue with a profile of how Toyota surpassed Volkswagen as America's top import and the role of the author in building Toyota's brand recognition, followed by the story of a short but profound tour of duty in the Vietnam of 1968, to more about Bozzy, to the fascinating story behind the use of colors in politics through time, to the obscure story behind the 1.5 billion candle-power beacon that one brought planes into Chicago. The essays go on with the real story of the French Fry and its birth in the Meuse Valley of Belgium, to a look behind the doors and later open-spaces that define the offices of our times, to the truth behind spokesmanship, both commercial and political, and winding up with a rollicking recollection of the public relations business and the author's role in it in the Chicago of the 1970's. Each essay is preceded with a "backstory" on how and why Chuck engaged that topic. All in all, Apple Pressings is a biography of our times, and a time worth reliving.

Fruit Processing
Author: D. Arthey
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461521033
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Fruit and fruit products, in all their many varieties and variations, are major world commodities and part of the economic life blood of many countries, particularly in the developing world. The perception of the healthy nature of fruit is a major reason for its increased consumption in the developed world, and many consumers today find a wider selection of fruit varieties, available at all times of the year, than ever before. This volume, however, is not so much concerned with fresh fruit as those principal areas of processing to which it may be subjected. Fruit processing arose as a means of utilising a short-lived product and preserving its essential nutritional qualities as far as possible. A chapter on the nutritional aspects of fruit is included in this work to reflect the importance of this topic to most consumers. After a general introduction, the chapter on fruit storage is the only contribution which deals with a process from which fruit emerges in essentially the same physical condition. Beyond that the book sets out to cover most of the major areas in which fruit may be processed into forms which bear varying semblances to the original raw material.

Processed Apple Products
Author: Donald L. Downing
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1468482254
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 447
Book Description
The objective of this book is to organize and document the technical, analytical, and practical aspects of present-day apple processing. No collected works have been published on processed apple products for more than thirty years. During that time many changes have taken place in the apple-processing industry. There are fewer but larger plants processing apples from larger geographical areas because of advances in transportation and storage of fruit. In addition sophisti cated technical advances in the processing and packaging of apple products have also occurred. This volume is designed to serve primarily as a reference book for those interested and involved in the processed apple industry. An attempt has been made to provide a central source of historical, currently practical, and theoretical information on apple processing. References have been cited to give credibility and assist those who may wish to read further on a particular subject. If this book success fully summarizes present knowledge for readers and assists in the continued improvement of commercial fruit processing, I will be pleased. I would like to thank the many people in the apple industry who have requested information and encouraged the writing of this book. The late Dr. Robert M. Smock, Professor Emeritus, Cornell Univer sity, and coauthor of Apples and Apple Products, originally published in 1950, gave his blessings and encouragement to this undertaking.
