Americans eat more processed foods than anyone else in the world. We also spend more on military research. These two seemingly unrelated facts are inextricably linked. If you ever wondered how ready-to-eat foods infiltrated your kitchen, you’ll love this entertaining romp through the secret military history of practically everything you buy at the supermarket. In a nondescript Boston suburb, in a handful of low buildings buffered by trees and a lake, a group of men and women spend their days researching, testing, tasting, and producing the foods that form the bedrock of the American diet. If you stumbled into the facility, you might think the technicians dressed in lab coats and the shiny kitchen equipment belonged to one of the giant food conglomerates responsible for your favorite brand of frozen pizza or microwavable breakfast burritos. So you’d be surprised to learn that you’ve just

An Introduction to the Analysis and Presentation of Data This concise and easy to read text introduces first year students to the analysis and presentation of experimental data. Written for students taking introductory physics courses at tertiary level, Experimental Methods will be a vital resource for all students involved in experimental or laboratory work. It will be equally useful for other quantitative subjects such as chemistry, engineering and geology. Topics of fundamental importance such as keeping a laboratory notebook, analysing experimental data and report writing are often dealt with in separate texts. This book integrates these topics and provides many of the tools that students will need at first year level and beyond. Forlag: John Wiley & Sons Udgivelsesår: 1994 Sider: 216 Sprog: Engelsk

This ambitious book by one of the most original and provocative thinkers in science studies offers a sophisticated new understanding of the nature of scientific, mathematical, and engineering practice and the production of scientific knowledge. Andrew Pickering offers a new approach to the unpredictable nature of change in science, taking into account the extraordinary number of factors—social, technological, conceptual, and natural—that interact to affect the creation of scientific knowledge. In his view, machines, instruments, facts, theories, conceptual and mathematical structures, disciplined practices, and human beings are in constantly shifting relationships with one another—"mangled" together in unforeseeable ways that are shaped by the contingencies of culture, time, and place. Situating material as well as human agency in their larger cultural context, Pickering uses case studie

Viking Press, 1955 - 341 sider "The fascination of the middle ages has run in a strong current of interest from Sir Walter Scott through Henry Adams to the best historical writers of today. Now, using Norte-Dame of Paris as Adams used Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres, Allan Temko gives us the story of the full flowering of medieval art and craftsmanship. Norte-Dame, perhaps the greatest single survivor among the magnificent works of that age, is reconstructed in this book, not as an architectural specimen, not as an historic monument, but as the embodiment of an age and a way of life. The story of its building and of the men and women who built it is one of the great sagas of group achievement. More than that, as an expression of human spirit it has undying meaning for civilized man. Visitors of Europe, if asked what single sight impressed them most, are likely to name the great cathedral
