Bakery Products
While thousands of books on baking are in print aimed at food service operators, culinary art instruction, and consumers, relatively few professional publications exist that cover the science and technology of baking. In Bakery Products: Science and Technology, nearly 50 professionals from industry, government, and academia contribute their perspectives on the state of baking today. The latest scientific developments, technological processes, and engineering principles are described as they relate to the essentials of baking. Coverage is extensive and includes: raw materials and ingredients, from wheat flours to sweeteners, yeast, and functional additives; the principles of baking, such as m...
Art from a Fractured Past
Peru's Truth and Reconciliation Commission not only documented the political violence of the 1980s and 1990s but also gave Peruvians a unique opportunity to examine the causes and nature of that violence. In Art from a Fractured Past, scholars and artists expand on the commission's work, arguing for broadening the definition of the testimonial to include various forms of artistic production as documentary evidence. Their innovative focus on representation offers new and compelling perspectives on how Peruvians experienced those years and how they have attempted to come to terms with the memories and legacies of violence. Their findings about Peru offer insight into questions of art, memory, ...
Social Sciences
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Katherine D. McCann is acting editor for this volume. The subject categories for Volume 57 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Social Sciences Anthropology Economics Geography Government and Politics International Relations Sociology

Do rádio para as telas
Este livro resgata a história da sonoplastia radiofônica e reflete como o mercado cinematográfico brasileiro a incorporou. Mostra, a partir do surgimento do cinema sonoro, uma série de técnicas de sonorização desenvolvidas, muitas delas vigentes até hoje, e a importância da participação dos sonoplastas de rádio nesse processo, adotando, como exemplo, o pioneiro Geraldo José. Foi feita uma pesquisa sobre o início do som no rádio, principalmente através das radionovelas e radioteatros, e nos primeiros filmes sonoros brasileiros. As primeiras experiências com som e o trabalho criativo dos principais sonoplastas e contrarregras foram resgatadas, além dos objetos, equipamentos e técnicas utilizadas por esses profissionais para criar sons. Foi realizado também um levantamento histórico sobre o processo de criação e produção dos efeitos, a fim de descrever as mudanças obtidas desde o rádio até a atual utilização do foley para a definição do som sincrônico no mercado cinematográfico: o que foi importante e ainda é usado e o que deixou de existir pela evolução da tecnologia em edição de áudio.
Conditional Cash Transfers
Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programs aim to reduce poverty by making welfare programs conditional upon the receivers' actions. That is, the government only transfers the money to persons who meet certain criteria. These criteria may include enrolling children into public schools, getting regular check-ups at the doctor's office, receiving vaccinations, or the like. They have been hailed as a way of reducing inequality and helping households break out of a vicious cycle whereby poverty is transmitted from one generation to another. Do these and other claims make sense? Are they supported by the available empirical evidence? This volume seeks to answer these and other related questions. Sp...
