Sinossi

Heavy weather is a lurking spectre that most of us hope and plan to avoid, but not even internet forecasting can make it go away. Anyone intent on crossing oceans must be ready to deal with it if it comes, as well it may. Even well-informed inshore and continental-shelf sailors will inevitably be caught out sooner or later. The object of this slim, quickly absorbed volume is to give everyone, whatever their passage-making aspirations, a sound brief so that whether they find themselves at the wrong end of a force-six blow along the coast, or confronting serious waves far out at sea, they are fully aware of their options for taking it in their stride.Heavy weather is a lurking spectre that most of us hope and plan to avoid, but not even internet forecasting can make it go away.

    An explanation of the e-book's purpose and benefits 
    This e-book's primary objective is to offer experienced poker players a comprehensive guide for improving their game through the implementation of a variety of different activities and techniques. The game of poker is covered in a large number of books and online resources; however, the vast majority of these materials are aimed at novice or intermediate players. This e-book was written for players who are already familiar with the sport in mind, specifically those who are interested in elevating their talents to the next level.   
    This e-book is quite helpful in a hands-on and practical sense, which is one of its primary advantages. Although there is some theoretical discussion and analysis of advanced poker strategies included in the e-book, the primary purpose of the e-book is to provide readers with a series of exercises and drills that they can use to improve their skills through practice and get better at the game. The readers of this e-book will be able to build a deeper grasp of the game and hone their ability to make strategic judgments in real-time if they follow the exercises and methods that are detailed in the e-book and apply them.

    A renowned chemist and cooking pioneer breaks down the properties and benefits of cooking with molecular gastronomy.1-Octen-3-ol, which has a scent of wild mushrooms; limonene, a colorless liquid hydrocarbon that has the smell of citrus; sotolon, whose fragrance at high concentrations resembles curry and at low concentrations, maple syrup or sugar; tyrosine, an odorless but flavorful amino acid present in cheese—these and many other substances, some occurring in nature, some synthesized in the laboratory, make it possible to create novel tastes and flavors in the same way that elementary sound waves can be combined to create new sounds. Note-by-note cooking promises to add unadulterated nutritional value to dishes of all kinds, actually improving upon the health benefits of so-called natural foods. Cooking with molecular compounds will be far more energy efficient and environmentally sustainable than traditional techniques of cooking. This new way of thinking about food heralds a phase of culinary evolution on which the long-term survival of a growing human population depends. Hervé This clearly explains the properties of naturally occurring and synthesized compounds, dispels a host of misconceptions about the place of chemistry in cooking, and shows why note-by-note cooking is an obvious—and inevitable—extension of his earlier pioneering work in molecular gastronomy.Includes an appendix with representative selection of recipes, vividly illustrated in color.“Taking kitchen science to a whole new (molecular) level, Hervé This is changing the way France―and the world―cooks.”—Gourmet“[This] explores the science behind shape, consistency, odor, and color, giving readers the knowledge to create their own magnum opus in the kitchen.”—Discover
