How to Cook from A-Z

This is a handbook for the starter cook. Ingredients and techniques are listed alphabetically for quick and easy reference, and it provides the basic methods and techniques for dealing with vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, poultry, grains, legumes, pulses, breads and pasta, with advice on how to clean, store, prepare and cook each entry. Line drawings illustrate techniques such as dicing, slicing, coring fruit and rubbing in fat, and where appropriate a very simple recipe - such as a basic broth or pie - is included, which allows the reader to develop the skills demonstrated. Entries also cover simple but easily-forgotten information such as how to poach an egg, the quantities for a Yorkshire pudding batter, and what temperature to roast a chicken at.

The Fight for Black Empowerment in the USA

This book advances the view that concentrated black power is the backbone of the Democratic Party and, as such, black empowerment represents the last hope for the US both domestically and internationally. Through analyses of secondary data, historical archives, and a variety of political and economic statistical indicators, it examines the relationship between black empowerment and America's global stature across its history, exploring the socio-historical context in which obstacles to black empowerment have occurred and the strategies that have been adopted across time for its realization. An examination of what Black political, legal, economic and cultural power looks like, The Fight for Black Empowerment in the USA makes an urgent call for the up-lift and empowerment of the black population, without which the nation faces irreversible political and economic dysfunction domestically, and a loss of its status as a global superpower. As such, it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in racial and ethnic inequalities and contemporary American society.

Affirmative Discipline

Affirmative Discipline is nonfiction aimed at parents and other teachers who support children’s learning while they affirm children’s overall development. In only eight short chapters, this book defines concepts of discipline, explores various discipline methods, recommends seven nonintrusive strategies, and explains how six intrusive strategies could be potentially affirmative. Both earlier and later theories of human development are delineated so adults can respect children's nature while steering their behavior in healthy ways. The seventh chapter emphasizes children’s individuality, and the final chapter reminds all adults to celebrate the miracle of childhood. With extensive references to behavioral scientists and the literature on development and discipline, this concise volume ties research to reality.
