• Sommario/riassunto: Meals are perhaps the most important aspect of prison life. They keep inmates alive, both physically and emotionally, as mess halls and common areas provide a level of social interaction in an otherwise lonely situation. Albert "Prodigy" Johnson served three and a half years in prison, and during that time his focus was on his health--an almost impossible feat behind bars, where many inmates often enter the prison system healthy, but leave with diabetes and hypertension. Commissary Kitchen provides a deeper perspective of what it's like to consume meals in prison. While recipes are provided, Prodigy and co-writer Kathy Iandoli also tell various anecdotes about situations in prison involving food. Meal prep in prison is very limited, so while this work appeals to anyone who has served time or is curious about prison life, it also speaks to those who prepare food with limited access to various cooking luxuries (such as college students in dorms). While the work is informational, above all it humanizes the prison experience in a way that has never been done before.Albert "Prodigy" Johnson is a multi-platinum recording artist and member of the legendary hip-hop duo Mobb Deep. In 2006, Prodigy was arrested for gun possession and served a three-year prison term. In 2011, he released his first memoir, the critically-acclaimed My Infamous Life. Since then, Prodigy has continued to release both solo projects and albums through Mobb Deep, touring worldwide. When he isn't touring, Prodigy is traveling the United States, lecturing at venues like MIT about the prison system and ; offering insight on changing the quality of inmates' lives.Kathy Iandoli is a critically-acclaimed journalist and author. Her work has appeared in publications such as Pitchfork, VICE, Maxim, Cosmopolitan, the Village Voice, Rolling Stone, Billboard, and many others.

• Sommario/riassunto: University rankings are "hot". Some universities, policy makers and jo urnalists seem to take them quite seriously. At the same time, however , they are also fiercely criticized. The best known worldwide rankings tend, for instance, to have a strong anglo-saxon bias and tend to giv e insufficient valorisation to human sciences. Are improvements and al ternatives possible? Should universities care about rankings and let t hem influence their practices? Parallel to international rankings, res earch assessments have become increasingly important in several countr ies. What are the current practices of research evaluation? What are t he challenges, obstacles and advantages? How should one assess the qua lity of research in a fair and equitable way? In this book a number of leading European experts share their thoughts and research findings on these issues. The approach of existing globa l university rankings is clearly unsatisfactory but this does not mean that all ranking exercises are pointless. Furthermore, we simply cann ot afford to ignore the need for research assessment if we want to uph old quality standards at our higher education institutes. Merely relyi ng on ; bibliometrics is problematic - even if we can overcome the curre nt anglo-saxon bias in citation indices. Both research evaluation stra tegies as rankings endeavours have most to gain from a multiple criter ia approach.
