Sommario/riassunto

Eating is a multisensory experience, yet chefs and scientists have only recently begun to deconstruct food's components, setting the stage for science-based cooking. In this global collaboration of essays, chefs and scientists advance culinary knowledge by testing hypotheses rooted in the physical and chemical properties of food. Using traditional and cutting-edge tools, ingredients, and techniques, these pioneers create, and sometimes revamp, dishes that respond to specific desires and serve up an original encounter with gastronomic practice.From the seemingly mundane to the food fantastic-from grilled cheese sandwiches, pizzas, and soft-boiled eggs to Turkish ice cream, sugar glasses, and jellified beads-the essays in The Kitchen as Laboratory cover a range of creations and their history and culture. They consider the significance of an eater's background and dining atmosphere and the importance of a chef's methods, as well as the strategies used to create a great diversity of foods and dishes. This collection will delight experts and amateurs alike, especially as restaurants rely more on science-based cooking and recreational cooks increasingly explore the physics and chemistry behind their art. Contributors end each essay with their personal thoughts on food, cooking, and science, offering rare insight into a professional's passion for playing with food.

Sommario/riassunto

The use of high-pressure techniques has become popular for studying the nature of substances and phenomena occurring in them, especially as a means of obtaining new materials (synthesis under high pressure) and processing known materials (hydroextrusion). A product of many years of research by the authors and their colleagues, Phase Transitions in Solids under High Pressure discusses the relationships of phase transformations in solids under high pressure, the mechanism of these transformations, crystal geometry, the effect of deformation, the conditions of formation, and preservation of the h

Sommario/riassunto

Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Emil Nolde, E.-L. Kirchner, Paul Klee, Franz Marc sowie die Österreicher Oskar Kokoschka und Egon Schiele gehörten der Generation der höchst individuellen Künstler an, die zu der impulsiven und oft auch kontroversen neuen Bewegung



des Expressionismus in Deutschland und Österreich des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts beitrugen. Diese Publikation stellt ihre Arbeit vor und verbindet sie mit dem kulturellen Kontext und weiteren Bewegungen jener Zeit.Die Autorin, die Kunsthistorikerin Ashley Bassie, erklärt, wie die expressionistische Kunst den Weg zu einer neuen, inte
