Sommario/riassunto

Einen Preis für Dichtung hatte Joseph Pulitzer ursprünglich nicht vorgesehen. Erst eine Initiative der Poetry Society of America gab den Anstoß zur Gründung dieses Preises, der 1922 zum ersten Mal verliehen wurde. Der Supplement-Band dokumentiert die gesamte Entwicklungsgeschichte der Preisverleihungen in dieser Kategorie. Die Darstellung basiert hauptsächlich auf vertraulichen Jury-Protokollen aus dem Pulitzer-Preis-Büro an der New Yorker Columbia-Universität. Der 23. Band bildet den Abschluss der Reihe "The Pulitzer Prize Archive", in der sämtliche Kategorien des renommierten Ehrungssystems dargestellt worden sind: sowohl die Preise in journalistischen Bereichen als auch jene in den literarischen Kategorien Sachbuch, Belletristik, Theater und Musik.

Sommario/riassunto

In this comprehensive cookbook, America's Test Kitchen breaks down the often intimidating art and science of bread baking, making it easy for anyone to create foolproof, bakery-quality breads at home.   Many home cooks find bread baking rewarding but intimidating. In Bread Illustrated, America's Test Kitchen shows bakers of all levels how to make foolproof breads, rolls, flatbreads, and more at home. Each master recipe is presented as a hands-on and reassuring tutorial illustrated with six to 16 full-color step-by-step photos. Organized by level of difficulty to make bread baking less daunting, the book progresses from the simplest recipes for the novice baker to artisan-style loaves, breads that use starters, and more complex project recipes. The recipes cover a wide and exciting range of breads from basics and classics like Easy Sandwich Bread and Fluffy Dinner Rolls to interesting breads from around the world including Lahmacun, Panettone, and Fig and Fennel Bread.
