Spook [sound recording] : science tackles the afterlife / by Roach, Mary,author.(CARDINAL)342147; Quigley, Bernadette,narrator.;
Read by Bernadette Quigley."What happens when we die? Does the light just go out and that's that-- the million-year nap? Or will some part of my personality, my me-ness persist? What will that feel like? What will I do all day? Is there a place to plug in my laptop?" In an attempt to find out, Mary Roach brings her tireless curiosity to bear on an array of contemporary and historical soul-searchers: scientists, schemers, engineers, mediums, all trying to prove (or disprove) that life goes on after we die. She begins the journey in rural India with a reincarnation researcher and ends up in a University of Virginia operating room where cardiologists have installed equipment near the ceiling to study out-of-body near-death experiences. Along the way, she enrolls in an English medium school, gets electromagnetically haunted at a university in Ontario, and visits a Duke University professor with a plan to weigh the consciousness of a leech. Her historical wanderings unearth soul-seeking philosophers who rummaged through cadavers and calves' heads, a North Carolina lawsuit that established legal precedence for ghosts, and the last surviving sample of "ectoplasm" in a Cambridge University archive"--Container.

Mastering artisan cheesemaking : the ultimate guide for home-scale and market producer / by Caldwell, Gianaclis,1961-(CARDINAL)589318;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 327-328) and index.Part I: the art and science of making cheese. Ingredients for all cheeses -- Concepts and processes for successful cheesemaking -- The fundamentals of acid development and monitoring during cheesemaking -- Aging cheese gracefully-the art of affinage -- Spicing it up: adding flavors to cheese -- Designing, equipping, and maintaining your home cheesemaking space -- Part II: recipes for success. Getting to know the family -- Fresh, acid-coagualted cheese -- Brined cheeses, fresh and aged -- White mold, surface-ripened cheeses -- Washed rind surface-ripened cheeses -- Blue cheeses -- Stretched and kneaded pasta filata cheeses -- Semihard to hard cheeses -- Extra-hard grating cheeses."The key to becoming a successful artisan cheesemaker is to develop the intuition essential for problem solving, and developing unique styles of cheeses.There are an increasing number of books on the market about making cheese, but none approach the intricacies of cheesemaking science alongside considerations for preparing each type of cheese variety in as much detail as Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking.Indeed, this book fills a big hole in the market. Beginner guides leave you wanting more content and explanation of process, while recipe-based cookbooks often fail to dig deeper into the science, and therefore don't allow for a truly intuitive cheesemaker to develop. Acclaimed cheesemaker Gianaclis Caldwell has written the book she wishes existed when she was starting out. Every serious home-scale artisan cheesemaker-even those just beginning to experiment-will want this book as their bible to take them from their first quick mozzarella, to a French mimolette, and ultimately to designing their own unique cheeses.This comprehensive and user-friendly guide thoroughly explains the art and science that allow milk to be transformed into epicurean masterpieces. Caldwell offers a deep look at the history, science, culture, and art of making artisan cheese on a small scale, and includes detailed information on equipment and setting up a home-scale operation. A large part of the book includes extensive process-based recipes dictating not only the hard numbers, but also the concepts behind each style of cheese and everything you want to know about affinage (aging), and using oils, brushes, waxes, infusions, and other creative aging and flavoring techniques. Also included are beautiful photographs, profiles of other cheesemakers, and in-depth appendices for quick reference in the preparation and aging room. Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking will also prove an invaluable resource for those with, or thinking of starting, a small-scale creamery.Let Gianaclis Caldwell be your mentor, guide, and cheering section as you follow the pathway to a mastery of cheesemaking. For the avid home hobbyist, to the serious commercial artisan, Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking is an irreplaceable resource. "--

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.
