Summary

'Cheese Making' presents a fascinating exploration of how science, culture, and craftsmanship converge in the creation of one of humanity's most beloved foods. This comprehensive guide takes readers on a journey through the intricate world of cheese making, from its ancient origins as a preservation method to its modern industrial processes, while examining how different societies have developed their unique approaches to transforming milk into cheese.

 
The book masterfully weaves together the fundamental chemistry of cheese making with rich cultural traditions, structured in three distinct sections covering scientific foundations, regional traditions, and industry practices. Readers discover how specific environmental conditions led to the development of iconic cheeses - from the hard mountain cheeses of the Alps to the cave-aged blues of Roquefort.

 
The text expertly balances technical information about enzymes, bacteria, and pH levels with engaging cultural insights, making complex concepts accessible to both beginners and experienced cheese makers. What sets this book apart is its holistic approach to the subject, combining food science with cultural anthropology while remaining practical and instructive.

 
Through detailed diagrams, temperature charts, and step-by-step instructions for home cheese making, readers gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills. The author's extensive research, including interviews with cheese makers across four continents, provides a unique perspective on how traditional methods interact with modern innovations, while exploring current challenges such as climate change and regulatory pressures facing the industry.

Living Landmarks of Chicago -...

Theresa L. Goodrich

From the man shipped home in a rum barrel to the most dangerous woman in America, Chicago history comes to life in these tantalizing tales.
"A wonderful bible of Chicago." WGN
Living Landmarks of Chicago goes beyond the what, when, and where to tell the how and why of fifty Chicago landmarks. More than a book about architecture, these are stories of the people who made Chicago and many of its most popular tourist attractions what they are today. Each chapter is a vignette that introduces the landmark and brings it to life, and the book is organized chronologically to illustrate the development of the city's distinct personality. These fifty landmarks weave an interconnected tale of Chicago between 1836 and 1932 (and beyond).
History lines Chicago’s sidewalks. Stroll down LaSalle or Dearborn or State and you’ll see skyscrapers that have been there for a century or more. It’s easy to scurry by, to dismiss the building itself, but a hunt for placards turns up landmarks every few feet, it seems. Here’s a Chicago landmark; there’s a National Historic landmark. They’re everywhere.
Ironically, these skyscrapers keep the city grounded; they illustrate a past where visionaries took fanciful, impossible ideas and made them reality. Buildings sinking? Raise them. River polluting the lake and its precious drinking water? Reverse it. Overpopulation and urban sprawl making it challenging to get to work? Build up. From the bare to the ornate, from exposed beams to ornamented facades, the city’s architecture is unrestrainedly various yet provides a cohesive, beautiful skyline that illustrates the creativity of necessity, and the necessity of creativity.

American on Purpose - The...

Craig Ferguson

“With American on Purpose, Craig Ferguson somehow manages to avoid the pitfalls of self-indulgence and self-importance that plague most (okay, all) Hollywood autobiographies. He has, instead, written a book that is hilarious and irrepressibly daft, yet also kind, poignant, and undeniably wise. It was a joy to read.”  — Dennis Lehane, New York Times Bestselling author of The Given Day 
Ferguson delivers a moving and achingly funny memoir of living the American dream as he journeys from the mean streets of Glasgow, Scotland, to the comedic promised land of Hollywood. Along the way he stumbles through several attempts to make his mark—as a punk rock musician, a construction worker, a bouncer, and, tragically, a modern dancer.  
To numb the pain of failure, Ferguson found comfort in drugs and alcohol, addictions that eventually led to an aborted suicide attempt. (He forgot to do it when someone offered him a glass of sherry.) But his story has a happy ending: success on the hit sitcom The Drew Carey Show, and later as the host of CBS's Late Late Show. By far Ferguson's greatest triumph was his decision to become a U.S. citizen, a milestone he achieved in early 2008. 
In American on Purpose, Craig Ferguson talks a red, white, and blue streak about everything our Founding Fathers feared.
