        Soy Protein and Formulated Meat Products

        by Henk W Hoogenkamp

        Soy-based foods represent a growing sector in today's food industry markets. They tend to be low in fat and high in protein and overall nutritional quality. Soy protein offers a broad spectrum of functionality and is now a key component of many processed meat products.This book provides an authoritative review of soy protein science and technology, particularly in relation to meat formulations. These topics are related to the major issues that face consumers and manufacturers, including healthy lifestyles, food safety and market dynamics. One key feature of the book is the large number of tables providing formulations for a range of products, including emulsified meats, sausage, pate, poultry- and other meat-based foods. The author has vast experience in industry and is a pioneer of the use of soy proteins, of the concept of "lifestyle foods" and of the growing impact of vegetarian food preferences.

        The Anglo-Saxon landscape

        The kingdom of the Hwicce

        by Della Hooke

        The landscape of pre-Conquest England can often be reconstructed in minute detail. Yet this is one of the first attempts at such a project. Here the evidence is examined for the West Midlands - the counties of Worcestershire, Warwickshire and Gloucestershire, much of which formed the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of the Hwicce. Della Hooke reveals the intimate local landscape through the medium of place names, contemporary documents and archaeological evidence. Her detailed picture brings the Anglo-Saxon countryside very much to life. The patterns which emerge in this period go far to explain the nature of later medieval patterns of settlement and field systems, and provide the key to understanding territorial organisation in the region. ;

        Berlin

        Psychogramme of a City

        by Karl Scheffler, Florian Illies, Michael Hofmann, Florian Illies

        “Berlin is damned forever to become, and never to be.” Scheffler could not have anticipated that his dictum would prove prophetic. No other author has captured the city’s fascinating and unique character as perfectly. From the golden twenties to the anarchic nineties and its status of world capital of hipsterdom at the beginning of the new millennium – the formerly divided city has become the symbol of a new urbanity, blessed with the privilege of never having to be, but forever to become. Unlike London or Paris, the metropolis on the Spree lacked an organic principle of development. Berlin was nothing more than a colonial city, its sole purpose to conquer the East, its inhabitants a hodgepodge of materialistic individualists. No art or culture with which it might compete with the great cities of the world. Nothing but provincialism and culinary aberrations far and wide. Berlin: “City of preserves, tinned vegetables and all-purpose dipping sauce.”

Only then, from the deepest side of the earth, they will rise. From a great explosion they will then be acknowledged as what they are: wolves, corn, wolf opossum, human wolves.

        Evita – Une biographie par Dvora Schechner

        by Dvora Schechner

        Evita – Une biographie par Dvora Schechner Il s'agit de l'histoire fascinante d'Eva Perón (1919-1952), dans le cadre d'une œuvre courte mais intensive à travers le monde. Elle traite des passions, des peurs, des haines, des personnages, des situations ainsi que du contexte qui firent d'elle "Evita". "J'avoue avoir une ambition, une grande ambition personnelle: j'aurai voulu qu'Evita ait, de temps à autres, une place dans l'histoire de mon pays", écrit-elle quelques mois avant sa mort. Il ne fait pas de doute, elle mérita sa place. Mais quelle place? Elle est à l'initiative de plusieurs travaux de recherche académique, de nouvelles, de pièces de théâtres, de films et de poèmes. La plupart de ces travaux ont adopté l'un des mythes les plus contradictoires basés sur son caractère – la plus chérie mais aussi la plus méprisée des femmes de son temps. Pour certains, elle est la mère du pauvre et du travailleur, Sainte Evita. Pour d'autres, une pécheresse, une femme munie d'un fouet, une nazie péroniste. Du reste, vingt ans plus tard, certains jeunes croient encore que si Evita était encore vivante, elle serait une guérilla Montonera! Dans cette biographie, elle est décrite sous différents angles. Ce travail analyse la révolution péroniste et revoie la doctrine de Juan Perón, qui s'accorde avec la réelle Evita "à un T". Elle révèle la façon dont elle a façonné son propre charisme afin d'opérer dans un régime populiste et autoritaire. La véritable Evita est plus intéressante et plus splendide encore que toute autre légende.  L'auteur, Dvora Schechner – une écrivain israélien et un professeur, membre du kibboutz Gazit en Basse Galilée – est née à Buenos-Aires en 1930. Elle passa son adolescence dans les rangs de l'opposition au régime péroniste, jusqu'à son immigration en Israël en 1952, deux mois avant la mort d'Evita. Un film documentaire sur les cris de millions d'Argentins l'éperonna afin de tenter de décoder l'énigme. Qui était Evita, et que se cache sous l'amour et la haine de cette femme, jusqu'aujourd'hui? Dvora Schechner a étudié les sciences humaines au séminaire Oranim, et reçu une licence en philosophie, art et histoire à l'université de Tel-Aviv. Ses publications comprennent : Guerre Civile en Espagne (1962-1970); l'Inquisition Espagnole (1972); Evita (1995); une Fille Politique (2003).

        How Big Food Risks Our Health

        by Wilfried Bommert, Christina Sartori

        Addiction from the supermarket The most powerful drug cartel of the 21st century sells pizzas, chocolate bars and mixed sweets. The promise: a quick and happy snack at low cost. The truth: this “food” isn’t nutritious, but is addictive and fattening, while bringing bumper profits for the investors. “Big Food” is becoming more powerful, but the costs due to the consequences of obesity now risk overwhelming global healthcare services. Obesity ranks as a killer before smoking or high blood pressure. A direct analysis of a man-made epidemic that is dominated by a few large companies and kept going by multiple profiteers. Their motto: “Teach the world to snack.”

        Le Camp De Frau Gruber

        by Ted Barr

        Le Camp De Frau Gruber Le manifeste des cendres du coq par Ted Barr   Quelles sont les frontières du mal ? Que signifie la vie life on the verge au seuil d’une mort arbitraire soudaine ? Cela vaut-il la peine de vivre derrière une clôture électrifiée ? Le camp de Frau Gruber est une allégorie exaltante à propos de garder la foi en l’humanité dans ses périodes les plus noires ; elle rappelle fortement le chef d’œuvre de George Orwell La Ferme des animaux. Un monde dans lequel il existe des personnes telles que Frau Gruber, Herr Schickl, et leurs associés morbides n’est pas le même que celui dans lequel nous vivons. Bien que sous d nombreux aspects leur monde paraît lui ressembler, il constitue en fait davantage un univers parallèle, retiré de la réalité que nous connaissons. Et pourtant, par moments, le lecteur peut passer outre les différences et s’y laisser plonger. Dans ce roman surprenant et énigmatique, le lecteur se trouve doucement et lentement submergé dans un microcosme imaginaire – un monde fantastique, à la foi poétique et terrible, qui parfois brise le cœur et qui, à d’autres moments, horrifie, dans lequel la vie n’est guère plus qu’un accessoire transparent. Les coqs, en tant qu’êtres humains, sont seulement des visiteurs momentanés dans un scenario bien plus étendu, dont la signification est trop élevée pour eux pour la saisir (mis à part le vieux coq Ba Ba Loop qui, à l’instar des prophètes d’antan, a des yeux pour voir, mais ne possède pas le pouvoir de changer quoi que ce soit). La seule manière d’apporter une signification à des temps d’une horreur telle est de tout investir pour la mémoire, ce qui constitue le cadre dans lequel ce roman est fondé : la foi en l’homme, oublier, se souvenir et l’essence de la vie au sein d’une époque impossible. Bien que se démarquant d'une description, principalement évoquée, de la petite enfance d'Adolf Hitler, Le camp de Frau Gruber ne se contente pas de raconter une histoire qui est, en de nombreux points, parallèle à l'histoire du judaïsme européen. Ce livre se transforme, au contraire, en une fable sur l'expérience vécue par l’humanité entière au XXème siècle, écrite à travers les yeux du XXIème siècle comme une bravade contemporaine. L'auteur, Ted Barr, 54 ans, a une maîtrise en économie et des diplômes dans des zones d'intérêt variées, y compris l'histoire allemande, le symbolisme, les tactiques de bataillon et de division, ainsi qu’en astronomie. Barr est un artiste de renom, spécialisé dans les galaxies et autres éléments du ciel. L'auteur a développé une technique de peinture unique, qu’il enseigne dans des ateliers dans le monde entier. Barr est le fondateur du groupe Current Art, et l’on peut avoir un aperçu de son activité artistique sur son site d'art, www.tedpaintings.com. Une édition du Camp de Frau Gruber est parue pour la première fois en Israël, en hébreu, en 2006, suivant le premier livre de Barr, Krombee, un livre pour enfants paru en 1990.

        by Caroline Ho-Yi Wang, Patricia Ho-Yi Wang, Stéphanie Ho-Yi Wang, photos by Virginie Gosselin

        If bok choy has been able to acquire a prominent place on Western shelves, many other Asian vegetables still remain unknown. But these tasty, nutritious vegetables can be easily grown in temperate, and even northern, climates! Caroline, Stephanie andPatricia Ho-Yi Wang, three sisters of Cantonese origin, have made it their mission to introduce these vegetables, which everyone will love, in a unique book that is both a guide to gardening and a cookbook, as well as the story of a family. Presenting 15 Asian vegetables according to each season, the book offers advice to Sunday gardeners as well as future market gardeners on how to organically grow and harvest these vegetables, as well as provides preservation techniques, nutritional information and cookingmethods. Around forty recipes, some of which were created by famous chefs, are presented as well. The Wang sisters also explore the world of Asian vegetables from a cultural point of view, tracing the place that these hold in their own lives and in those of their family members, many of whom left China to emigrate to Madagascar before finally settling in Quebec. A true homage to the earth, good food and one’s roots!
