A Natural History of Beer
A celebration of beer--its science, its history, and its impact on human culture What can beer teach us about biology, history, and the natural world? From ancient Mesopotamian fermentation practices to the resurgent American craft brewery, Rob DeSalle and Ian Tattersall peruse the historical record and traverse the globe for engaging and often surprising stories about beer. They explain how we came to drink beer, what ingredients combine to give beers their distinctive flavors, how beer's chemistry works at the molecular level, and how various societies have regulated the production and consumption of beer. Drawing from such diverse subject areas as animal behavior, ecology, history, archaeology, chemistry, sociology, law, genetics, physiology, neurobiology, and more, DeSalle and Tattersall entertain and inform with their engaging stories of beer throughout human history and the science behind it all. Readers are invited to grab a beer and explore the fascinating history of its creation.
Twin Cities Beer: A Heady History
The Twin Cities witnessed a recent explosion of craft beer breweries and brewpubs, but the region's beer history reaches back generations. The Minneapolis Brewing Company introduced the iconic Grain Belt beer in 1893, and it remains a local favorite. Fur trapper and bootlegger Pierre "Pig's Eye" Parrant established a St. Paul tavern along the banks of the Mississippi River in the early 1800s. The area has been home to some of the best-known beer brands in America, from Hamm's and Schmidt's to Yoerg's and Olympia. Today, microbreweries such as Bad Weather Brewing, Summit Brewing and more than fifty others are forging new avenues. Join author Scott Carlson as he offers an intriguing history and guide to Twin Cities beer.

Abuse of Privilege
A rainy night’s telephone call leads J.C. Ducheck to believe that he will finally learn who shot and tried to kill him three years ago. The caller is Jason Saxberg, the man who accidentally interrupted the attempt on J.C.’s life. Saxberg says his own life is now jeopardized because he has just discovered the shooter’s identity. J.C. takes his whimsical but loyal friend, Wally Gustavson, along to meet with Saxberg, only to find him dead. They chase the killer, who narrowly escapes at a railroad crossing, seconds in front of a speeding train. With little evidence and few leads about Saxberg’s case, the police turn their attention to the murder of a prominent minister, prompting J.C. and Wally to investigate Saxberg’s murder on their own. Their inexperience at crime solving is further complicated because they have to keep Detective Paul Andrews, Wally’s nephew, from knowing what they’re up to. After a series of humorous attempts to interview and surveil suspects, Paul joins J.C. and Wally as their endeavor becomes increasingly more dangerous. To everyone’s surprise, a connection between J.C.’s shooting and the other murders unfolds.
Networking Across Borders and Frontiers
This volume presents the proceedings of a Coimbra Group conference on networking across borders and frontiers in European culture and society that took place at the University of Graz in September 2007. Organised by the Task Force on Culture, Arts and Humanities it brought together researches from ten different European countries and an array of disciplines across the Humanities and Social Sciences spectrum, from Cultural Anthropology, European Ethnology, History, Literary Studies and Fine Arts to Peace Studies, Sociology and Political Sciences. It explores the capacity of the frontier-network binary for describing and analysing historical, cultural and political processes in the formation of European cultures and societies past and present, and across national and disciplinary boundaries.
