Sinossi

'Fun Candy Chemistry' transforms the everyday art of candy-making into an engaging scientific exploration, revealing how chemistry and physics principles create our favorite sweet treats. This unique guide bridges the gap between kitchen crafting and scientific understanding, demonstrating how molecular interactions, precise temperature control, and sugar crystallization work together in confectionery creation. The book cleverly uses the kitchen as a laboratory, where each candy-making session becomes an edible experiment in scientific discovery.

 
The text progresses systematically through three main sections, beginning with fundamental concepts of molecular behavior and sugar chemistry, then exploring specific candy types as case studies in chemical reactions, and finally applying this knowledge to troubleshooting and recipe development. Along the way, readers discover fascinating insights into how different temperatures affect sugar solutions and how crystal formation impacts texture, all explained through clear analogies and practical demonstrations that require only high-school level science knowledge.

 
What sets this book apart is its hands-on experimental approach, combining historical context from 18th-century sugar processing through modern food science research. Whether you're a culinary student, science educator, or serious home candy maker, the book's instructional yet conversational style makes complex chemistry accessible through practical application. Each chapter includes controlled experiments with edible results, ensuring readers gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills for approaching candy-making with scientific precision.

Hope for Caregivers - A 42-Day...

Henri Nouwen

"Caregiving is the holy act of the literal laying of hands on another to help and to heal. It requires strength, courage, and commitment to serve another intimately with dignity, respect, and love. The giving of such care, however, gives the one who cares a glimpse into God's priceless kenotic gift to humanity. This beautiful and important devotional based on Nouwen's magnanimous wisdom offers encouragement to those entrusted with caregiving by reminding them that what they are doing plants roots in the eternal—even in the hidden or lonely recesses of servitude, caregivers are seen, they matter, and they are upheld by the right hand of God!" — Carolyn Weber, caregiver, professor of literature, and author of Surprised by Oxford
Henri Nouwen's timeless wisdom reminds us once again of the transformation that love brings, both when we allow ourselves to give love with abandon and when we allow ourselves to receive love.
Caregiving too often is reduced to a list of tasks—doing the things that another individual cannot do independently. In six weeks of daily devotions inspired by the words of Henri Nouwen and intertwined with Scripture and prayer, Hope for Caregivers summons us away from our lists for a few moments each day and draws us to a fresh framework for the experience of giving care.

42 Reasons to Hate the Universe...

Chris Ferrie, Wade David...

If you've always suspected the universe was out to get you . . . you were right! 
 
 
 
Yes, the universe we live in is cosmically beautiful and mysterious and all that crap. But it's also a bit of an asshole. After all, remember that you are just a group of atoms structured in a specific way for barely long enough to try to understand this thing we call existence. Those atoms could just have easily been used to make the dog shit you're cleaning off your shoe or the mold that grows on your bread! The fact is, when you zoom out to look at the universe and how it functions, you'll see that it's usually not in our favor, and many of the laws of physics are actively working against our survival. In this book, you'll discover why you're an aging mutant; invisible rays are melting our genetic code; literally everything is poisonous; and more true and terrifying scientific facts! 
 
 
 
But don't worry! While it's true that there are (at least) forty-two grudges to hold against the universe, the good news is that there is also one very good reason to forgive them all and embrace the wild, improbable fact that we are alive (for now) and we should take advantage of it while we can. 42 Reasons to Hate the Universe (And One Reason Not To) is a hilarious, no-holds-barred exploration of all the reasons we shouldn't exist—but somehow do anyway.

On 23 February 2020 Cisco will be launching its new courses that affect each level of certification, from entry-level to architect level. They have retired some of their courses in an effort to streamline the certification path. Before, the CCNA consisted of multiple courses and exams, one for each network path, such as CCNA Cloud, CCNA Routing and Switching, CCNA Security. This meant three different courses and three different exams. The new CCNA replaces these individual CCNA courses and exams, which means one course covering a broader spectrum of IT fundamentals. It also means the IT professional only has to sit one exam to obtain their certificate! This book is a guide to help you discover the new CCNA certificate.
