The way kitchens work : the science behind the microwave, teflon pan, garbage disposal, and more / by Sobey, Edwin J. C.,1948-(CARDINAL)721601;
MARCIVE 7/2/13Includes bibliographical references (page 203).Aluminum foil -- Bag sealer -- Blender -- Bread machine -- Can opener -- Coffee grinder -- Coffee maker -- Coffee roaster -- Coffee urn -- Cork remover -- Crock-pot -- Deep fat fryer -- Dishwasher -- Dustbuster -- Electric grill -- Electric knife -- Electric teapot -- Espresso maker -- Faucet -- Fire extinguisher -- Food processor -- Garbage disposal -- Garlic chopper -- Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) switch -- Hot plate -- Ice maker -- Juicer -- Kitchen torch -- Knife -- Microwave oven -- Mixer -- Oven (electric) -- Oven (gas) -- Pepper mill -- Popcorn popper -- Pressure cooker -- Range hood -- Refrigerator -- Refrigerator magnet -- Salad shooter -- Salad spinner -- Saran wrap -- Smoke detector -- Steamer -- Stove -- Teflon-coated frying pan -- Timer -- Toaster -- Toaster oven -- Trash compactor -- Turkey timer -- Waffle iron -- Water filter -- Watercooler -- Wine saver.If you've ever wondered how a microwave heats food, or why aluminum foil is shiny on one side and dull on the other, or whether it is better to use cold or hot water in a garbage disposal, you should read The Way Kitchens Work. Modern kitchens are hi-tech marvels, with more machinery than any other room in the house. Each of the 50+ entries includes its history, interesting trivia, and a discussion of the technology involved. Readers will also enjoy reviewing the utensils' and appliances' original patent blueprints, as well as photos of the "guts" of these culinary tools. The author even includes odd side stories, such as how the waffle iron played a role in the founding of Nike, how you can reset a turkey timer, and why socialite Josephine Cochran really invented the dishwasher in 1886 -- it wasn't because she wanted to ease the burden of her servants, but because she wanted a device that would avoid the unsightly chips associated with hand washing. And finally, for those whose stovetop skills are still in development, Sobey provides information on the invention and use of the smoke detector and hand-held fire extinguisher. - Publisher.

Dog's best friend : the story of an unbreakable bond / by Garfield, Simon,author.(CARDINAL)265193;
Introduction: The dogness of dogs -- The indelible image -- How dogs began -- Fido thinks maybe -- What Darwin didn't know about dogs (was hardly worth knowing) -- Dogs will heal -- The smartest dogs on earth and beyond -- How we got to Jackshi-tzu -- How to win a ribbon -- Dog story -- Through the hoops -- The art of the floofiest -- Inglorious -- Born a dog, died a gentleman -- Discover dogs!"Ludo is a dog--Simon Garfield's beloved black Labrador retriever, one of millions of canines who have become integral parts of our lives. But how did the dog become top dog? How did these faithful animals come to assist us not only in hunting, but in bomb disposal and cancer detection--and ultimately become our closest companions? Dog's Best Friend examines how this bond developed over the centuries, and how it has transformed countless lives, both human and canine. Garfield begins with the earliest visual representations--dogs depicted in ancient rock art--and ends at the laboratory that first sequenced the canine genome. Along the way, we meet the legendary Corgis of Buckingham Palace, the dogs of the Soviet space program, the world's first labradoodle, and a border collie that can identify more than a thousand different plush toys. Garfield reveals the secrets of the world's best dog trainers, takes us inside the wild world of dog breeding and dog shows, and unearths the deep psychological roots of the human-dog link. And Ludo pops his snout in from time to time as well."--Amazon.
