While The Brew Deal is about FDR and the beer industry, it also tells a tale of American resilience in battling the Great Depression. If you've got the time, Taylor's got the book." -Kenneth Elzinga, Professor of Economics, University of Virginia "It's rare that a book about events from a century ago feels so fresh and timely. This gripping scholarship is a joy for readers. It also provides important insights into the politics and regulation of alcoholic beverages today." -Bart Watson, VP of Strategy & Chief Economist of the Brewers Association -Kenneth Elzinga, Professor of Economics, University of Virginia "It's rare that a book about events from a century ago feels so fresh and timely. This gripping scholarship is a joy for readers. It also provides important insights into the politics and regulation of alcoholic beverages today." -Bart Watson, VP of Strategy & Chief Economist of the Brewers Association During the final stages of Prohibition, the US government allowed the consumption and sale of "non-intoxicating" beer, which was at or below 3.2% alcohol-by-weight. Beer's return-permitted with an eye toward job creation during the Great Depression-was one of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's earliest New Deal policies. In this book, economist Jason E. Taylor takes readers through the rapid resurgence of American breweries and shows how beer helped spark a sharp recovery in the spring of 1933. Taylor begins with stories of how the nation's 1,400 breweries were decimated by the onset of Prohibition in 1920. He then turns to the frothy debates that led Congress to declare 3.2 beer "non-intoxicating," and hence allowable under Prohibition. While April 7th is now celebrated as "National Beer Day," the original April 7th-when legal beer returned after more than 13 years away-brought raucous scenes that make today's Mardi Gras festivities seem tame by comparison. The Brew Deal shares stories of breweries, people, politics, perseverance, and the various roles that 3.2 beer has played in the evolving American beer scene. Jason E. Taylor is Jerry and Felicia Campbell Professor of Economics at Central Michigan University. Before joining CMU, he earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from Ohio University and a PhD in economics from the University of Georgia. Taylor served as Editor-in-Chief of Essays in Economic & Business History between 2012 and 2018. His research is focused on US economic history, industrial organization, and public policy.

In the last decades, the consumption of fossil fuels has led to many problems such as the energy crisis and climate change. The rapidly increasing energy demands and environmental issues have attracted lots of attention to develop new functional materials for sustainable energy technology. Mesoporous carbon-based films show unique properties and have been regarded as a promising material applied in highly efficient energy storage and conversion systems. Interfacial assembly strategies are usually employed to construct such film devices. In this book, recent developments in synthesis of mesoporous carbon-based film devices through interfacial assembly strategies are illustrated. Additionally, the applications of mesoporous carbon-based film devices for electrochemical energy systems including batteries and electrocatalysis are introduced to demonstrate their potential, as well as describing the mechanisms to enhance the performance of these systems. Finally, some challenges and future outlooks are presented to inspire better development and contributions to this field in coming years. Given its scope, this book appeals to undergraduate students, graduate students, engineers, and researchers involved in related fields.Electric batteriesMaterialsCatalysisForce and energyMaterials scienceChemical engineeringMechanical engineeringBatteriesMaterials for Energy and CatalysisMaterials ScienceChemical EngineeringMechanical EngineeringElectric batteries.Materials.Catalysis.Force and energy.Materials science.Chemical engineering.Mechanical engineering.Batteries.Materials for Energy and Catalysis.Materials Science.Chemical Engineering.Mechanical Engineering.620.11621.31242Kong Biao1460568Xu Hongbin1460569Xie Lei894403Zhou Shan1460570MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910770263103321Functional Mesoporous Carbon-Based Film Devices for Energy Systems3660360UNINA
