Sommario/riassunto

The formation, deformation, and break-up of liquid interfaces are ubiquitous phenomena in nature. In this study the authors discuss the deformation of a liquid interface produced by optical radiation forces.

Sommario/riassunto

Combining theory, research and policy Consuming Interests provides a topical interdisciplinary exploration into the nature of food          provision, policy and regulation. The book provides a detailed examination of corporate retailers, state agencies and consumer organisations involved in the food sector.  The analysis explores questions including: * what can the public expect from the state* what limits are there on state action* what are the most appropriate balancesbetween public and private interests in the provision of 'quality' foods.
