        The Professional Handbook of Cider Tasting

        by Travis Alexander, Brianna Ewing

        In recent years, with the rise of the craft beverage movement, the cider industry has been through a period of rapid commercial and non-commercial growth. Tasting and quality control is a core aspect of successful cider making and it is essential for industry and researchers to characterize cider using a standard, quantifiable metric. This book is a research-based text for understanding both the theory and practice of effectively evaluating the sensory properties of cider. The Cider Tasting Professional Handbook includes content on the physiological basis of sensory evaluation, effective profiling of sensory evaluation, types and styles of cider, origins of cider quality attributes and direction for pairing cider with foods. The book also: - Covers a broad range of cider tasting techniques with associated technical explanations. - Provides data and research-driven information. - Contains sample sensory evaluation sheets, a tasting wheel, and guidance for creating fresh cider sensory standards and the utilization of various apple cultivars. Including a summary of the current global cider styles, this is an invaluable resource for commercial cidermakers, non-commercial cidermakers, students on cider production courses, researchers and other industry and stakeholder personnel.

        Steve Jobs

        Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre

        by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Aura Lewis, Silke Kleemann

        Eines Tages kehrte der junge Steve von einem Summer-Camp für neugierige Kids nach Hause zurück. Er hatte da eine riesengroße, geheimnisvolle Maschine gesehen: den ersten Computer. Wenige Jahre später gründete er mit seinem Freund eine Firma, die Garage von Steves Familie wurde zum Headquarter. Dort entstand der erste Apple. Heute blinkt das Äpfelchen überall auf der Welt. Einige Geräte sind so klein, dass man sie sogar in die Jackentasche stecken kann. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Philosophin, Forscherin oder Sportler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

        Markets and power in digital capitalism

        by Philipp Staab

        Today's global capitalism runs through digital networks. Its leaders are internet giants such as Google, Apple, Amazon and Tencent. Their technologies are ubiquitous: we carry high-performance computers around in our pockets, manage our lives in the cloud and display them on social media. They have also literally privatised the market, transforming capitalism in the process. Philipp Staab takes us on a virtual tour of modern digital capitalism. He shows how digital surveillance and evaluation practices have proliferated throughout the economy, exacerbating social inequality in the process. What is specific to digital capitalism, Staab argues, is the emergence of 'proprietary markets'. In the past the focus was on producing things and selling them at a profit. Today the meta-platforms extract their profits by owning the market itself.

        An Apple of Good Hopes

        by Holoborodko Vasyl

        Selected poems from almost all of his poetry collections are included in the book by Vasyl‘ Holoborod‘ko (born in 1945), a prominent representative of the Kyiv School of Poets, one of the most famous Ukrainian poets in the world literary context of the 20th Century. Despite Soviet censorship and persecutions, the poet managed to remain a nonconformist, making a significant contribution to the literary process. At one time, the anthology of the world poetry of the 20th century was published in Belgrade, with a telling title From the Bengalee Rabindranath Tagore to the Ukrainian Vasyl‘ Holoborod‘ko. In 1966, Holoborodko wrote a prophetic poem that began as follows, "They stole my name..." And in 2016, his name was stolen from him when his name was given to the main character of the entertainment TV show Servant of the People... Nevertheless, as history proves, the Poet also has a chance to win. But, perhaps, only after earthly life...

        Ästhetischer Kapitalismus

        by Gernot Böhme

        Wenn ein neues Smartphone auf den Markt kommt, bilden sich frühmorgens Schlangen vor den palastartigen Shops. Das zeigt, dass es heute nicht nur um den Gebrauchswert einer Ware geht (dass man mit einem solchen Gerät telefonieren oder im Internet surfen kann), sondern auch um das, was Gernot Böhme als ihren »Inszenierungswert« bezeichnet. Die Inszenierung von Produkten und Lebensstilen ist ein zentrales Merkmal des ästhetischen Kapitalismus, dessen Erscheinungsformen Böhme nachspürt. Indem er sich mit der Ideologie des Wachstums, der Soundlandschaft in Shoppingcentern und dem Zusammenhang von Leistungsideologie und Konsum befasst, leistet er einen wichtigen Beitrag zu einer Rekonstruktion und Erweiterung der Theorie der Kulturindustrie auf den Bereich des Wirtschaftslebens.

        Reclaim Autonomy

        Selbstermächtigung in der digitalen Weltordnung

        by Jakob Augstein

        Vor nicht einmal zwanzig Jahren nährte die Digitalisierung noch die Hoffnung auf eine universelle Befreiung der Menschen. Geblieben ist davon nicht viel: Die Furcht vor Überwachung ist zu einem ständigen Begleiter geworden. Mit Facebook, Twitter und anderen sozialen Medien hielt eine neue Form von Hetze Einzug in die Öffentlichkeit. Und auf die permanente Verfügbarkeit von Informationen folgte der Kampf der etablierten Medien gegen den digitalen Dauerbeschuss mit Fake News. Höchste Zeit also für eine kritische Bestandsaufnahme. In diesem Band gehen einige der wichtigsten Denkerinnen und Denker der Gegenwart drängenden Fragen nach: Wie lässt sich der digitale Kapitalismus zähmen? Stellt das Internet eine Gefahr für die Demokratie dar? Und wie können wir in einer digitalisierten Welt Autonomie (zurück)erobern? Mit Beiträgen von Martin Schulz, Jakob Augstein, Gerhart Baum, Yvonne Hofstetter, Evgeny Morozov u. v. a.

        Show me the money

        The image of finance, 1700 to the present

        by Edited by Paul Crosthwaite, Peter Knight and Nicky Marsh

        What does money really stand for? How can the abstractions of high finance be made visible? Show me the money documents how the financial world has been imagined in art, illustration, photography and other visual media over the last three centuries in Britain and the United States. It tells the story of how artists have grappled with the increasingly intangible and self-referential nature of money, from the South Sea Bubble to our current crisis. Show me the money sets out the history and politics of representations of finance through five essays by academic experts and curators, and is interspersed with provocative think pieces by notable public commentators on finance and art. The book, and the exhibition on which it is based, explore a wide range of images, from satirical eighteenth-century prints by William Hogarth and James Gillray to works by celebrated contemporary artists such as Andreas Gursky and Molly Crabapple. It also charts the development of an array of financial visualisations, including stock tickers and charts, newspaper illustrations, bank adverts and electronic trading systems.

        Aullido

        by Adolfo Córdova, Armando Fonseca

        Do you hear the wolves howling underneath the ground?  They are buried waiting to be invoked by mother wolf, grandmother wolf and sister wolf. 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.
