Alcoholic Fermentation - Unveiling the Science Behind Alcohol Production and Biochemical Reactions in Fermentation

Arthur Harden

Summary

Arthur Harden's "Alcoholic Fermentation" is a pioneering exploration of the biochemical processes involved in the fermentation of sugars into alcohol, providing profound insights into the role of yeast and enzymes in this transformation. Written in the early 20th century, Harden utilizes a scientific approach exemplified by rigorous experimentation and detailed analysis, reflecting the burgeoning field of biochemistry during this period. His systematic investigation not only elucidates the mechanistic steps of alcoholic fermentation but also positions the work within the broader context of emerging scientific thought, correlating physiological processes with microbiological activity. A prominent biochemist and a Nobel Laureate, Arthur Harden was driven by an insatiable curiosity about the metabolic pathways in living organisms. His extensive research and collaboration with contemporaries in the field enabled him to bring a unique perspective to fermentation, particularly at a time when the industrial and commercial implications of alcohol production were beginning to receive academic attention. Harden'Äôs commitment to elucidating the chemical nature of biological processes serves as a cornerstone for future research in fermentation and its applications. "Alcoholic Fermentation" is a must-read for anyone interested in biochemistry, microbiology, or the intricate workings of fermentation. Scholars and students alike will find in Harden's work not only a significant scientific contribution but also a rich historical snapshot of a field in its transformational phase. This book is essential for those looking to deepen their understanding of fermentation and its implications for science and industry.

Mission Zero - The Independent...

Chris Skidmore

Mission Zero is a landmark independent report into the delivery of the UK's commitment to net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Chaired by Chris Skidmore, the UK's former Energy Minister who was responsible for signing net zero into law, its conclusions set out, for the very first time, a new economic narrative for climate policy, demonstrating the vast financial opportunity that net zero can deliver.
This timely and crucial report acts as a template for how all countries can map out future challenges and opportunities and, above all, deliver their own pathway to net zero while also creating new jobs, industries and investment for the future.
Commissioned by the UK's Prime Minister in September 2022, Mission Zero is the largest engagement exercise on net zero conducted to date and has been widely recognised as the most informative and detailed document on the topic, covering every sector and aspect of society. This important book is a vital piece of work and an indispensable must-read for anyone interested in energy, climate and sustainability policy.

The Last of Its Kind - The...

Gisli Palsson

The great auk is one of the most tragic and documented examples of extinction. A flightless bird that bred primarily on the remote islands of the North Atlantic, the last of its kind were killed in Iceland in 1844. Gísli Pálsson draws on firsthand accounts from the Icelanders who hunted the last great auks to bring to life a bygone age of Victorian scientific exploration while offering vital insights into the extinction of species. 
 
 
 
Pálsson vividly recounts how British ornithologists John Wolley and Alfred Newton set out for Iceland to collect specimens only to discover that the great auks were already gone. At the time, the Victorian world viewed extinction as an impossibility or trivialized it as a natural phenomenon. Pálsson chronicles how Wolley and Newton documented the fate of the last birds through interviews with the men who killed them, and how the naturalists' Icelandic journey opened their eyes to the disappearance of species as a subject of scientific concern—and as something that could be caused by humans. 
 
 
 
Blending a richly evocative narrative with rare, unpublished material as well as insights from ornithology, anthropology, and Pálsson's own North Atlantic travels, The Last of Its Kind reveals how the saga of the great auk opens a window onto the human causes of mass extinction.
