Professional charuterie: Sauasage making, Curing, terrines, pates.......2006-10-14

Oh my god I just read Thomas kellers book it's the Best!! This book on the other hand, is mediocrity at best. The author takes up countless pages of out dated equipment and definitions of things like what a crushed red pepper is. I can only say that as a Professional chef this book is a total disappointment. Don't spend your money on the Rytek book either the only book is Thomas Kellers

Other suggestions.......2003-10-25

This is quite an advanced book. If you are looking for something suitable for the home kitchen, see if you can locate a copy of Jane Grigson's <<The Art of Making Sausages, Pates, and Other Charcuterie>>. It's out of print, but readily available used at Amazon.com.

Good Enough, In all fairness.......2003-01-28

I particularly like the spice combinations presented in the different recipes. It covers sausages from around our planet. Procedure-wise, methods can change depending on where we are in the globe but this book is an effective guide to charcuterie-making as a whole !!
... I really do not know what the other reviewers were looking for in a charcuterie book, though !!

A Commericial Text.......2001-12-17

This book is for the professional cook in mind not for homestead sasuage makers. It is not what i was looking for.

Good looking book but........2000-08-28

This book looks good, with lots of pictures and sausage mixes. I have been making sausages for a living for twenty years, I have won many local competions including currently holding the title for supreme champion of hampshire UK. When I first started reading this book I thought these will not work and how right I was. When I changed a few things around the sausages came out ok. This book is not as it states PROFESSIONAL.

Postmodern pastoral.......2005-03-28

Not many books of poetry are enacted as vividly in the cinema of the mind as John Kinsella's "Peripheral Light." Nearly 150 pages of poems, arranged without any overt sense of chronology or categorization into "new" and "selected," spool out a brocade of violence, labor, danger, natural presences, hardship, and beauty in (primarily) rural Australia. Poems set later in the book also make jagged forays into political and linguistic territory, although these generally tend to leave less of a strong impression on the ear and inner eye.

Kinsella's strengths-narrative pacing, internal echo, startling images dense with subtext, a reserved irony and skepticism, and lush, lucid description-combine most effectively in poems that focus on the difficulties of hacking farms out of the voracious outback, where one misstep-one overlooked skeleton weed or wild radish-can ruin generations: "One year the farmer asked us if we / felt guilty for missing one & hence ruining / his would-have-been bumper crop. . . . Speaking for myself, / I've included in my lexicon of guilt / the following: what I feel today / will I feel tomorrow?" ("Skeleton weed/generative grammar"). Salt, sheep skulls, screaming black cockatoos and red dominate a landscape all the more intimidating for its poising on the brink of surreality. It would be less troubling if it were simply not real, but there is no evading its perfect naturalness: "The orchard, canker-bound and fading-Australian / Gothic. A bladeless windmill remonstrates / with a warm wind as it singes / oranges scattered in bitter wreaths / of deadwood, scale, and vitrified leaves." ("Black Suns"). Or, in "Warhol at Wheatlands": "outside, in the / spaces between parrots & fruit trees / the stubble rots & the day fails / to sparkle." Or, in "Wheatbelt Gothic or Discovering a Wyeth": ". . .a mat of hay spread over the ooze / of a dead sheep that is the floor / of the soak (blood-black beneath the skin, / bones honeycombed), crystallised with salt." In such a place, humanity is backed into desperate corners, and grief, bickering, and sacrifices of questionable efficacy seem to rule ("The Silo", "Why They Stripped the Last Trees from the Banks of the Creek", "Anathalamion").

Kinsella does not simply sing elegies and gothic lays, however. He opposes structuring energies against the threat to survival, especially light, memory, and family: "Sometimes I sit on Deep Water Point jetty / and remember the time we spent / considering what lies below / the glistening surface. . . having to answer to no more / than the weather, / small fish, and an urge to be free" ("Approaching the Anniversary of my Last Meeting with my Son"); "Prayer goes somewhere / and is not lost and expects nothing back. . . . Most of the family is there and words are said / and those who can't attend wait for news of the dead / as now it is all about memory" ("Funeral Oration").

Although he crafts wonderful rhymed stanzas in many poems, Kinsella also employs a kind of free-verse form that fails into the superfluity of his subjects. On first reads, these poems seem strangely unfinished to an American eye, but they reveal, in their open structure, an asymmetry that parallels the overabundant energies of the natural world. Taken singly, any of these poems might seem quite strange, but in this worthy collection they act as mirror-slivers in a vivifying mosaic. Part John Clare, part Gary Snyder, part Derrida, Kinsella's work is powerful and distinctive.

Book Description

This handbook provides the reader with a full understanding of the elements of an ISO 14001 environmental management system (EMS) and how to design and implement an EMS for themselves. To clarify and illustrate how an EMS works, the book provides real-world examples from five companies. The companies range in size from a small manufacturer with 30 employees to a multinational health products company with 42,000 employees. The book is presented in an easy to read format with plenty of tips, charts and quotes from EHS managers who have "been there, done that". A glossary of terms and useful websites is included.

ISO Handbook Review.......2002-01-24

As an EMS project manager I found this book to very comprehensive with easy to follow case studies that were clear, concise and proved to be very valuable. So much of implementing an EMS deals with change management and this handbook lays out what changes an organization and skills a project manager needs to consider as it makes steps on this path toward ISO 14001 implementation. Another benefit is the excellent, easy to read examples created for each element of the standard providing a great starting point from which to take that leap! I recommend the handbook to others investigating environmental management systems.

Practical, Straight-forward Approach.......2001-02-22

Practical, straight-forward, simple approach to EMS implementation! We have used as part of our standard training with employee teams.

Handbook for Implementing an ISO 14001 EMS: A Practical Appr.......2001-01-29

This handbood explains the elements of ISO 14001 and how to implement them in a clear and concise manner. The authors make the reader feel confident that they can implement an EMS no matter what their industry.

I like how they step through each element of the standard, explain what it means and then show how others have addressed that element with real world examples. We hear from environmental managers in five companies (from a small, Midwest tool manufacturer to a mulit-national pharmaceutical conglomerate) how they implemented their EMS. Actual copies of policies, aspects lists, management meeting notes and cost data as well as tips and advice are, sprinkled throughout the book. There is also a list or resources and related websites listed in an appendix.

This is an easy read (a plus for anyone with limited time) and would make an excellent addition to an EMS training package. I will recommend it to my membership.

Handbook for Implementing an ISO 14001 Environmental.......2001-01-24

It is often the curse of wise, visionary ideas: When they're new and haven't yet gained widespread use or brand-name familiarity they somehow seem more complicated--and difficult to implement--than in fact they are. This "appearance" of complexity keeps well-meaning people or companies from moving ahead--and so progress stalls. For those directly involved, and for the rest of us.

Such is the case with ISO 14001, an elegant new way for organizations to bolster their bottom lines--and their communities' environments--at the same time. The ISO idea only seems complicated.

This book demystifies the seemingly arcane concept and makes environmental management systems readily accessible to smokestack industries, high-tech companies, even government organizations.

When I needed to understand the hows and whys of environmental management systems for a project I was working on, the straightforward language and clear design of this book made my education quick as well as thorough. It made what felt like a huge and complex undertaking seem not only manageable but worth doing.

Today, if I were implementing an EMS in an organization, I'd get copies of this book to all of my key people and make sure they had the time to read it and then discuss it together. I can't recommend this volume highly enough.

Cliff notes for the Professional........2001-01-19

We have used this book as a training tool and as an appreciation gift for clients and staff. The book has a very practical approach. I've described the book as better than "Cliff Notes" but not a dissertation. We have clients requst bulk orders to use as training materials for their staff.

Genre-bender.......2000-12-08

In this remarkable book, Cambridge based Australian poet John Kinsella highlights what genre is and how genre works. Composed as one continuous, unbroken paragraph, the text suddenly switches gear, sometimes in mid-sentence, from science fiction to memoir, from art review to personal correspondance. Even the assesor's report to the publisher about this book turns up in the book. The conceit holding it all together is that there is an apartment building in which the occupants go about their business, the texts Kinsella splices together being thing they are writing, reading or just have lying around. With this conceit, Kinsella opens up a fascinating exploration of the way genre shapes our expectations as a reader.
