  First published in the late nineteenth century, The Chocolate-Plant (Theobroma cacao) and Its Products is a thorough and fascinating examination of one of the world’s most important—and beloved—plants. 
  Beginning with cacao’s origins in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica and its rapid spread through Europe, this work traces chocolate’s journey from indigenous drink to global commodity. It explores the botany of the cacao tree in careful detail, explaining its growth, flowering, pod-bearing habits, and the conditions required for successful cultivation. The book then follows cacao from harvest through fermentation, drying, roasting, and grinding, offering a clear account of how raw beans are transformed into chocolate and cocoa. 
  Blending science with industry, the text examines the chemical composition of cacao—including cocoa butter, starches, proteins, minerals, and theobromine—while addressing purity, quality, and digestibility. It argues for chocolate’s value not merely as a luxury, but as a genuine and nourishing food. The closing chapters turn practical, presenting period-authentic culinary guidance and recipes for preparing chocolate and cocoa for drinks, desserts, and confections. 
  Narrated by Jerry Dugan, this audiobook preserves a rare Victorian-era perspective on food science, industrial craftsmanship, and culinary tradition, making it an essential listen for anyone interested in food history, agricultural science, or the origins of modern chocolate.

  On the morning of May 9, 1980, harbor pilot John Lerro was guiding a 600-foot freighter, the Summit Venture, into Tampa Bay. Directly in the ship's path was the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Suddenly, a violent weather cell reduced visibility to zero at the precise moment when Lerro attempted to direct the 20,000-ton vessel underneath the bridge. Unable to stop or see where he was going, Lerro drove the ship into a support pier. 
   
   
   
  Skyway tells the entire story of this horrific event, from the circumstances that led up to it through the years-long legal proceedings. Bill DeYoung pieces together the harrowing moments of the collision, including the accounts of witnesses and survivors. 
   
   
   
  Among those whose lives were changed forever was Wesley MacIntire, the motorist whose truck ricocheted off the hull of the Summit Venture and sank. The lone survivor, MacIntire, like Lerro, was emotionally scarred and remained haunted by the tragedy for the rest of his life. 
   
   
   
  DeYoung offers a history of the ill-fated bridge, from its construction in 1954, through the addition of a second parallel span in 1971, to its eventual replacement. The result is a detailed portrait of the rise and fall of a Florida landmark.

  All companies use information to set strategies and accomplish  business objectives. But how many CEOs and CIOs would say they are  satisfied that their companies get maximum value from information?  Not many. How many have a systematic plan for evolving their  information capabilities to the next level? Fewer still.  SAS has developed an Information Evolution Model (IEM) to aid  companies in assessing how they use information to drive business.  The model outlines how information is managed and utilized as a  corporate asset and enables organizations to objectively evaluate  their use of information and accurately lay out a roadmap for  improvements that optimize business returns. This book shows how  the IEM can be used together with analytics.  The book  provides the necessary information that managers need to introduce  and promote the use of analytics and insight across the  organization and how to identify the starting point and develop a  roadmap. Examples of global companies that have successfully been  through this process are provided as well as best practices.

  Wild American Ginseng - Lessons...

  Wild American ginseng, America's most famous medicinal plant, is in trouble. In plain prose, James McGraw explains why as he translates the latest in ecological and conservation science findings on this unassuming understory herb. As the world's foremost authority on wild ginseng, McGraw is uniquely poised to present this story based on more than twenty years of uninterrupted field research. 
   
   
   
  McGraw traces the dramatic ecological history of ginseng in North America, documenting the ginseng-centric view of a world increasingly dominated by both direct and indirect actions of humans. Far more than a story of a single plant species, ginseng becomes a parable, a canary in a coal mine, for what is happening to our dwindling wild species across the globe. Documenting lingchi (death by a thousand cuts) in human interactions with wild species, McGraw shows us the evidence of our slowly eroding biodiversity and our diminishing global biotreasury. 
   
   
   
  Beyond merely documenting our destruction of nature, McGraw also offers a pathway to an optimistic future for ginseng and the wild species with whom we share the planet. He illuminates how a dramatic expansion of our commitment to sharing the planet with our fellow planetary companions is the key to preservation; and now is the time to do so.
