Vegetables, Revised: The Most Authoritative Guide to Buying, Preparing, and Cooking, with More than 300 Recipes
by James PetersonA master class on vegetables with award-winning cookbook author and renowned cooking instructor James Peterson Have you ever purchased bundles of ingredients at the farmers' market only to arrive home and wonder what on earth to do with your bag of fiddlehead ferns, zucchini flowers, bamboo shoots, or cactus pads? Treat yourself to an in-depth education withVegetables, acclaimed author and teacher James Peterson's comprehensive guide to identifying, selecting, and preparing ninety-five vegetables--from amaranth to zucchini--along with information on dozens of additional varieties and cultivars. Peterson's classical French training and decades of teaching experience inform his impeccable presentation of every vegetable preparation technique and cooking method. You'll begin by stemming, seeding, peeling, chopping, slicing, dicing, mincing, crushing, and pureeing, then explore less familiar but no-less-useful skills such as turning turnips, charring chile peppers, and frenching French green beans. Once the prepping is complete, Peterson explains the intricacies of the many methods for cooking each vegetable, from the most straightforward boiling, braising, steaming, and stir-frying techniques, to the more elaborate and flavor intense grilling, glazing, roasting, sautéing, and deep-frying. The text is further enhanced with handsome full-color photography and useful extras, like time-saving workarounds, tips on seasonal purchasing, storage recommendations, and suggestions for kitchen tools you'll really use. Woven in with the fundamentals is Peterson's collection of some 300 recipes that showcase the versatility of vegetables in both familiar and unexpected ways. He offers dozens of refreshing salads; plenty of soups and rich, flavorful stews; crowd-pleasing casseroles and pastas; soul-comforting gratins and risottos; and perfect, hand-crafted gnocchi. There are some surprises, as well. For instance, the hardworking cabbage is pickled, potted, steamed, stir-fried, stuffed, and slawed, but when it appears in theCabbage Potée with Braised Duck Legs, it is transformed into a black-tie entrée. TheBaked Morels Stuffed with Foie Gras is an unapologetically upscale variation on basic stuffed mushrooms, and in his iconic Eggplant Parmesan, Peterson confesses to changing the recipe every time he makes it--and urges you to do the same! So the next time you spot some salsify at the farmers' market, don't be daunted--buy some and give the Artichoke, Morel, and Salisfy Salad a chance. If tender little broccolini show up in your neighborhood grocer's, be sure to try the savory-sweetBroccolini with Pancetta, Anchovies, and Raisins. And when your fifth backyard bumper crop of summer tomatoes has your family longing for take-out after weeks of tomato soup, tomato salads, and tomato sauces, bring them back to the table with Twice-Baked Garlic and Tomato Soufflés. Whether you're an iconoclastic cook looking to broaden your culinary horizons, or a tradition-minded home chef hoping to polish your prep skills while expanding your repertoire, Vegetables will become your essential go-to reference.

Venezuela - Culture Smart!
by Russell MaddicksAn influential oil producer with a colorful and charismatic president at its helm since 1999, Venezuela is a vast, sometimes frustrating, but never dull country. It is one of the most complex countries in Latin America and one of the least understood. An ambitious attempt to benefit the poor and redistribute oil wealth by President Hugo Chavez has seen a major political transformation in recent years that has put a severe strain on its traditional ties with the USA. He has made steadfast attempts to confront his powerful northern neighbor and reduce Venezuela's economic dependence on the United States. However, Miami remains the top holiday destination for Venezuelans traveling abroad, baseball beats soccer as the preferred sport, and teenage girls still cover their bedroom walls with American idols like Justin Bieber. Venezuelans are known for being friendly, gregarious, and outgoing. They value family over everything and love to criticize the status quo, but they are also fiercely proud and protective of their homeland and react poorly to criticism of their country from outsiders. Culture Smart! Venezuela takes you beyond the stereotypical descriptions of a tropical petro-state, famous for its beauty queens and its populist president, to provide you with an insider's understanding of the country and its people. Practical tips, valuable insights, and vital statistics will help you get to the heart of this vibrant, sometimes contradictory, and increasingly important country.

Verbolario
by Rodrigo CortésRodrigo Cortés regresa a las librerías con Verbolario: diccionario satírico, humorístico y poético, que, con sus más de dos mil definiciones y siete años de trabajo a la espalda, se atreve a enmendarle la plana al diccionario. «Verbolario es un milagro sostenido».Manuel Jabois Toda palabra tiene su significado oculto —su significado verdadero— acechante entre sus pliegues con la astucia del salteador de caminos; se desvela sólo con el uso y sólo ante la perspicacia y el oído, que son el mismo sentido. Rodrigo Cortés reinventa el lenguaje y hace confesar a cada voz su auténtico propósito. Verbolario no define las palabras: las desnuda. La crítica ha dicho:«Selvático y misterioso antidiccionario en que las palabras vuelven a ser territorios a la espera de ser explorados».Laura Fernández «Verbolario es el saloncillo antes de la obra, los camerinos llenos de secretos del diccionario».José Luis Garci «Cortés desvela una realidad que nadie había visto en el lenguaje: las palabras también juegan con nosotros».Jesús García Calero, ABC Cultural «¿Puede un libro ser a la vez diccionario, manual de humor, tratado filosófico y poemario? En manos de Rodrigo Cortés puede».Juan Gómez-Jurado «Con talento y picardía, Rodrigo Cortés logra ponerle a cada palabra de este Verbolario la espina precisa para que el pinchazo nos resulte puñeteramente gozoso».Fernando Aramburu «Enciclopedia ilustrada que mira el mundo con la sabiduría del viejo y la inocencia del niño».Ana Iris Simón «Carcajadas, sonrisas y la leve incomodidad que produce la verdad cuando anda desnuda».Sergio del Molino

Verhaltenssteuerung, Recht und Privatautonomie
by Clemens LatzelDieses Buch überträgt psychologische und verhaltensökonomische Erkenntnisse über die menschliche Entscheidungsfindung und ihre Steuerbarkeit (vor allem durch Anreize, Überzeugung und äußere Umstände, also Nudging) in die Rechtswissenschaft und zeigt, wie das Recht mit diesem Wissen optimiert werden kann. Während der Homo oeconomicus als Standardmodell der Wirtschaftswissenschaften bereits durch einen empirisch fundierten Modellpluralismus abgelöst wurde, harrt das zivilrechtliche Selbstbestimmungsdogma noch einer empirischen Erdung. Außerdem erklärt dieses Buch – insoweit auch für die Sozialwissenschaften interessant – die Funktionsweisen des Rechts und seiner spezifischen Steuerungsinstrumente und zeigt deren Rahmenbedingungen auf. Aus traditioneller zivilrechtlicher Sicht ist hierbei zu rechtfertigen, warum Recht überhaupt das Verhalten von Menschen steuern darf und ausgerechnet die Privatautonomie als Hort des Liberalismus ihre Indienstnahme für politische Zwecke (Materialisierung) ertragen muss.

The Verso Book of Dissent: Revolutionary Words from Three Millennia of Rebellion and Resistance
by Tariq Ali Audrea Lim Andrew HsiaoThroughout the ages and across every continent, people have struggled against those in power and raised their voices in protest--rallying others around them and inspiring uprisings in eras yet to come. Their echoes reverberate from Ancient Greece, China and Egypt, via the dissident poets and philosophers of Islam and Judaism, through to the Arab slave revolts and anti-Ottoman rebellions of the Middle Ages. These sources were tapped during the Dutch and English revolutions at the outset of the Modern world, and in turn flowed into the French, Haitian, American, Russian and Chinese revolutions. More recently, resistance to war and economic oppression has flared up on battlefields and in public spaces from Beijing and Baghdad to Caracas and Los Angeles.This anthology, global in scope, presents voices of dissent from every era of human history: speeches and pamphlets, poems and songs, plays and manifestos. Every age has its iconoclasts, and yet the greatest among them build on the words and actions of their forerunners. The Verso Book of Dissent will become an invaluable resource, reminding today's citizens that these traditions will never die.
