Manufacturing companies now face the challenges of a global marketplace where every part of the operation must become more efficient to enhance the bottom line. Based on the results and conclusions of an applied research project of process manufacturing operations directed by the author, Bottom-Line Automation presents an overview of over 30 years of industry trends, pointing out the strengths and pitfalls of each.

Publisher: Artisan
Description: Thomas Keller, chef/proprieter of Napa Valley`s French Laundry, is passionate about bistro cooking. He believes fervently that the real art of cooking lies in elevating to excellence the simplest ingredients, that bistro cooking embodies at once a culinary ethos of generosity, economy, and simplicity, that the techniques at its foundation are profound, and the recipes at its heart have a powerful ability to nourish and please. So enamored is he of this older, more casual type of cooking that he opened the restaurant Bouchon, right next door to the French Laundry, so he could satisfy a craving for a perfectly made quiche, or a gratin?ed onion soup, or a simple but irresistible roasted chicken. Now `Bouchon`, the cookbook, embodies this cuisine in all its sublime simplicity. But let`s begin at the real beginning. For Keller, great cooking is all about the virtue of process and attention to detail. Even in the humblest dish, the extra thought is evident, which is why this… [detailed...]

But he`s not. `I come from a long line of Mafiosi,` he informs us, taking pains to establish the difference between Mafiosi, a term `rooted in the character and the values of the men and women who were the everyday makers of Sicilian history,` and the fictional Mafia. (Bonanno knows from crime fiction: there are those who say that he`s the real-life model for Michael Corleone, and he does not deny it.) Bound by Honor is as much a family saga as it is a true crime story, and Bonanno`s insightful self-reflection guarantees a distinctive degree of honesty and depth. [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionIn Bound for America, Nicholas Temperley documents the lives, careers, and music of three British composers who emigrated from England in mid-career and became leaders in the musical life of the American Federal era. William Selby of London and Boston (1738-98), Rayner Taylor of London and Philadelphia (1745-1825), and George K. Jackson of St. Andrews, New York, and Boston (1757-1822) were among the first trained professional composers to make their home in America, and are generally regarded as pioneers in the building of an art-music tradition in the New World that reflected the esteemed `classical` music of the Continent. The three composers all began their work in London, one of Europe`s greatest centers of music. Why, in middle age, would they emigrate and start over in uncertain and unfavorable conditions? How did the new environment affect their lives and careers? In seeking answers, Temperley explores each musician`s youthful period in England,… [detailed...]
