Summary

Meat Curing Methods explores the time-honored techniques of preserving meat through salting and brining, bridging historical practices with modern science to ensure both flavor and safety. The book highlights how curing transforms perishable raw meat into safe, flavorful products with extended shelf lives, a process that was once essential for survival. It reveals intriguing facts, such as how salt interacts with meat proteins at a biological level, and how brining enhances both flavor and texture.

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with the fundamentals of meat science and the roles of curing agents. It then details the salting and brining processes, offering step-by-step instructions and recipes for various meats like pork, beef, and poultry. A key emphasis is placed on food safety, with detailed guidelines on handling, storage, and temperature control.

 
What sets this book apart is its integration of scientific explanations with hands-on guidance, enabling readers to understand not just how to cure meat, but why each step is crucial for safety and quality, making it an invaluable resource for both novice and experienced cooks interested in artisanal food.

The narratives in this book are of journeys made in three wildernesses—on a coastal island, in a Western mountain range, and on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. The four men portrayed here have different relationships to their environment, and they encounter each other on mountain trails, in forests and rapids, sometimes with reserve, sometimes with friendliness, sometimes fighting hard across a philosophical divide.

Treatise on Light was published in 1690 and is probably the largest scientific volume on light published before Newton's Opticks. The book explains how light travels (i.e., that it has a certain velocity), and what happens when it hits a surface (refraction and reflection). A large portion of the book is devoted to the double refraction occurring in Iceland chrystal, and all drawn conclusions are proved geometrically. Christiaan Huygens (1629 - 1695) was a prominent physicist and astronomer. His main discoveries are the centrifugal force, collision laws for bodies and the argument that light consists of waves. He was a contemporary of Galilei and Descartes, and a member of the French Royal Society since 1663. (Summary by Availle)

A smart and sometimes counterintuitive (who cares when you go to bed?) guide that will solve readers’ sleep anxiety once and for all!  If there’s anything worse that not getting sleep, it’s lying awake with a scare-face staring at the ceiling worrying about it. Here’s Romiszewski’s—a sleep physiologist and founder of the UK’s Sleepyhead Clinics  —  promise: “This book is your guide to liberating yourself from the endless cycle of sleep anxiety and obsession. By the end, you’ll have regained control – not through perfection, but by letting go of the need to constantly manage your sleep. Sleep will start working for you, not as something to fear or fix, but as your natural ally. And best of all, it will no longer dominate your thoughts.”THINK LESS, SLEEP MORE is a sensible take on sleep with some counterintuitive twists to current accepted dogma, such as that we all need more sleep and that segmented sleep  —  aka waking up in the middle of the night  —  is a killer. It’s a health and wellness sigh-of-relief book: there are some readjustments to make, both mental and physical, but a key takeaway is that whatever you’re doing now is probably better than you think.Among other counterintuitive insights, Romiszewski reveals:--The importance of a consistent wake-time rather than a rigid bedtime--How to trust your body’s natural sleep drive and rhythms--That ‘bad’ nights neither ruin the next day, nor, necessarily, your health, and that variability is normal--That sleep isn’t fragile—it’s adaptable, resilient, and smarter than any hack you could throw at it--The myth of 8 hours--The power of lightFor an audience who found Matthew Walker’s “Why We Sleep” a bit daunting, Romiszewski’s is the sensible, seasoned, calming voice you want to think of a 3AM.

These are eleven apocalyptic scenarios exploring an unlikely but possible future. All of these extraordinary events are scientifically credible. Some of these catastrophes have even already occurred in the recent past. Proof of this can be found in the meteorite that crashed into the Yucatán and wiped out the dinosaurs...
