"This book shows that there are few stories as remarkable as the complicated love affair Brussels has with beer." - Jonny Garrett, Co-Founder of The Craft Beer Channel, Beer Writer of the Year 2019From the brewery that once employed Congolese freedom fighter Patrice Lumumba, to the race against time to rescue Brussels' rich industrial heritage from the maws of rapacious developers, and the see-sawing fortunes of the city's artisan brewers, Brussels brewing has had a tumultuous past. The city is rightly famed around the world for its vitally important lambic brewing traditions, but there is a history of Brussels brewing brewing that goes so much further and deeper than that. And more than tha...
"Beer Professor Kevin Verstrepen and Beer Doctor Miguel Roncoroni put 250 Belgian beers to the test in their lab, resulting in a complete encyclopaedia with scientific analyses of the taste and aroma profiles and the chemical composition of beer. The beer team of the Flemish Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) went into the laboratory for 2 years to subject 252 Belgian beers to thorough chemical analysis and to a panel of objective guinea pigs. The result is this definitive guide, which finally decomposes the complex composition of our favourite barley into the molecule and illustrates it for every type of beer lover."--Provided by publisher.

Lambic is a distinctive type of beer, brewed only in certain regions of Belgium. Unlike conventional beers, lambic beer is produced by spontaneous fermentation - it is exposed to wild yeasts, as opposed to the usual carefully cultivated strains of brewer's yeasts. The result is a beer with a highly distinctive flavour. The first book in a prestigious series dedicated to Belgian beers, this richly illustrates the story of the most famous breweries and beers, discussing their origins, quality labels, the development of the different breweries and the production processes of the beers. AUTHOR: Jef Van den Steen is a beer expert and a microbrewer. He has written several books on beer and travels the world to give lectures on the brewing process. ILLUSTRATIONS: 150 colour
Stories are everywhere, from fiction across media to politics and personal identity. Handbook of Narrative Analysis sorts out both traditional and recent narrative theories, providing the necessary skills to interpret any story. In addition to discussing classical theorists, such as Gérard Genette, Mieke Bal, and Seymour Chatman, Handbook of Narrative Analysis presents precursors (such as E. M. Forster), related theorists (Franz Stanzel, Dorrit Cohn), and a large variety of postclassical critics. Among the latter particular attention is paid to rhetorical, cognitive, and cultural approaches; intermediality; storyworlds; gender theory; and natural and unnatural narratology. Not content to co...
A student edition of five one-act plays by Britain's most popular playwright. Ayckbourn's series of plays for 4-5 actors typify his black comedies of human behaviour. First produced in 1976, the plays are alternately naturalistic, stylised and farcical, but underlying each is the problem of loneliness. The Mother Figure shows a mother unable to escape from baby talk; in The Drinking Companion an absentee husband attempts seduction without success; in Between Mouthfuls, a waiter oversees a fraught dinner encounter. A garden party gets out of hand in Gosforth's Fete whilst A Talk in the Park is a revue style curtain call piece for the five actors. Whether the comedies concern marital conflict, infidelity or motherhood and take place on a park bench or at a village fete, the characters are familiar and their cries for help instantly recognisable. "Principally he is respected as a radical re-inventor of form" Dominic Dromgoole
