"The Elements of General Method, Based on the Principles of Herbart" by Charles A. McMurry McMurry was an American educator, and pioneer in American Herbartianism. Herbartianism is an educational philosophy, movement, and method loosely based on the educational and pedagogical thought of Johann Friedrich Herbart. This method states that maintaining the integrity of a student's individuality for as long as possible during the education process as well as an emphasis on moral training is a main education goal. This text breaks down McMurry's thoughts and his explanation for these alternative educational and child-rearing systems.
This new edition discusses the physical and engineering aspects of the thermal processing of packaged foods and examines the methods which have been used to establish the time and temperature of processes suitable to achieve adequate sterilization or pasteurization of the packaged food. The third edition is totally renewed and updated, including new concepts and areas that are relevant for thermal food processing: This edition is formed by 22 chapters—arranged in five parts—that maintain great parts of the first and second editions The First part includes five chapters analyzing different topics associated to heat transfer mechanism during canning process, kinetic of microbial death, sterilization criteria and safety aspect of thermal processing. The second part, entitled Thermal Food Process Evaluation Techniques, includes six chapters and discusses the main process evaluation techniques. The third part includes six chapters treating subjects related with pressure in containers, simultaneous sterilization and thermal food processing equipment. The fourth part includes four chapters including computational fluid dynamics and multi-objective optimization. The fifth part, entitled Innovative Thermal Food Processing, includes a chapter focused on two innovative processes used for food sterilization such high pressure with thermal sterilization and ohmic heating. Thermal Processing of Pa ckaged Foods, Third Edition is intended for a broad audience, from undergraduate to post graduate students, scientists, engineers and professionals working for the food industry.
Have the tightest Big Band imaginable! With over 30 years of experience as a Big Band leader and clinician, Mats Holmquist has produced a unique and definitive method on Big Band rehearsal and performance for both players and directors that includes a new language with around 350 terms and definitions. When everyone understands the simple and universal rules for accents, timing, dynamics, and lead playing, those rules can be applied to every chart---thereby minimizing the amount of time needed to rehearse each chart individually and creating a performance that is flawless and tight! Also explained in depth are tips and techniques for setting up, making good sounding recordings (studio and live), dealing with subs, dealing with travel considerations, choosing the right set list, dealing with various personalities in the band, choosing and blending the right personnel, working with members individually and as a group, overcoming instrumental technical problems and issues, playing together in sections and as a whole, an instrument-by-instrument breakdown of the responsibilities of the rhythm section, and much more! If you buy one book on Big Band directing and playing, make it this one!
