Sinopsis

Insect Protein Preparations explores the potential of edible insects as a sustainable and nutritious alternative to traditional protein sources. Addressing growing concerns about food security and environmental impact, the book delves into the science and practicality of entomophagy, the practice of eating insects, which could revolutionize our food systems. For example, insect farming requires significantly less land and water compared to traditional livestock, making it a more environmentally friendly option. It also highlights the impressive nutritional value of insects, often surpassing that of beef or chicken in protein content and essential nutrients. 

 
The book provides a comprehensive overview, starting with the historical and cultural context of eating insects, then moving on to the nutritional benefits and environmental advantages. It culminates in a practical cooking guide with recipes designed to make insect-based dishes appealing and accessible, tackling the "yuck factor" head-on. By combining scientific rigor with culinary innovation, the book offers a unique approach to understanding and embracing insects as a viable part of our future diets.

 
Across its chapters, Insect Protein Preparations introduces the concept, develops the argument with nutritional profiles and environmental impact assessments, and offers a practical cooking guide of insect-based dishes. It also includes appendices with a list of edible insect species, sourcing information, and relevant food safety regulations, alongside potential applications of processed insect protein, such as flour or isolates.

Tryhard - A Cautionary Tale of...

Laura Mayer

"An insightful, funny, and refreshingly personal journey into workaholism and the pathological Type A mind." — Cat Marnell, New York Times bestselling author of How to Murder Your Life
A superstar podcast producer delivers a unique, laugh-out-loud, cry quietly invitation to examine our delusional obsessions with work in this eye-opening book—part memoir, part mentoring, part confessional guide—that dissects the emotional ties that bind us . . . to our desks.
For any type-A, high achiever out there, this is the book that sees you. And provides a cathartic, funny, emotionally charged insight into what drives the perfection-oriented.
Laura Mayer was born a girlboss. As a child in suburban Illinois, she played "V.P. of Sales" in her bedroom, dictating important memos to her twin brother and swapping Judy Blume for the buzzy business books of the day. While other kids dreamed of being pop stars or pro athletes, little Laura had a single-minded focus: the corporate ladder.
Some thirty years later, from a dizzying perch on that very ladder—as Executive Producer of Podcasts at ABC News, with such blockbuster shows as Revisionist History, Bad Blood, and Happier with Gretchen Rubin to her credit—and with an identity shaped by annual reviews, performance indicators, and “executive presence” (whatever that means) a disillusioned Laura is calling "bullshit" on the whole work-is-life thing. Sort of.
Tryhard is a gonzo memoir for 9-to-5 devotees who have read every business book and C-suite-or-bust instruction manual yet still find we’re burnt out and unhappy. It is also a deeply personal and poignant examination of why we race at all. Laura detangles this delusional mess of priorities we've created, rejects the “boss-at-any-cost” culture, and invites us to laugh at ourselves (and her) along the way. She offers the modern office worker a new path forward through her own revelations, and implores us, for the love of God, to chill out a little bit.
This is Laura's messy, somewhat enlightened, possibly transformative, heart-wrenching and always entertaining story—a one-of-a-kind sightseeing trip on the Great American hamster wheel.

But what does it look like when you pose the question to bartenders? In Last Call, James Beard Award-winning author Brad Thomas Parsons gathers the intriguing responses from a diverse range of bartenders around the country, including Guido Martelli at the Palizzi Social Club in Philadelphia (he chooses an extra-dry Martini), Joseph Stinchcomb at Saint Leo in Oxford, Mississippi (he picks the Last Word, a pre-Prohibition-era cocktail that's now a cult favorite), and Natasha David at Nitecap in New York City (she would be sipping an extra-salty Margarita). The resulting interviews and essays reveal a personal portrait of some of the country's top bartenders and their favorite drinks, while over forty cocktail recipes make this a must-listen for barflies and cocktail enthusiasts of all stripes.

The Takeover

Cara Tanamachi

On Nami’s thirtieth birthday, she’s reminded at every turn that her life isn’t what she’d planned. She’s always excelled at everything—until now. Her fiancé blew up their engagement. Her pride and joy, the tech company she helped to found, is about to lose funding. And her sister, Sora, is getting married to the man of her dreams, Jack—and instead of being happy for her, as Nami knows she ought to be, she’s fighting off jealousy. 
 
Frustrated with her life, she makes a wish on a birthday candle to find her soulmate. Instead the universe delivers her hate mate, Nami’s old nemesis, Jae Lee, the most popular kid from her high school, who also narrowly beat her out for valedictorian. More than a decade later, Jae is still as effortlessly cool, charming, and stylish as ever, and, to make matters worse, he’s planning a hostile takeover of her start-up. Cue sharp elbows and even sharper banter as the two go head-to-head to see who’ll win this time. But when their rivalry ignites a different kind of passion, Nami starts to realize it’s not just her company that’s in danger of being taken over, but her heart as well.
