Thoroughly updated, the new Fifth Edition adds coverage of the ever-expanding tool chest of new and extraordinary molecular methods to address many of the roles that microorganisms play in the production, preservation, and safety of foods.Sections in this valuable reference cover material of special significance to food microbiology such as:* stress response mechanisms, spores, and the use of microbiological criteria and indicator organisms* commodity-oriented discussion of types of microbial food spoilage and approaches for their control* the major foodborne pathogens, including diseases, virulence mechanisms, control measures, and up-to-date details on molecular biology techniques* state-of-the-science information on food preservation approaches, including natural antimicrobials and the use of bacteriophages in controlling foodborne pathogens* beneficial microbes used in food fermentations and to promote human and animal health* updated chapters on current topics such as antimicrobial resistance, predictive microbiology, and risk assessmentThis respected reference provides up-to-the-minute scientific and technical insights into food production and safety, readily available in one convenient source.

This is a collection of 39 short stories that explores what it means - what it feels like - to be alive; to be a fully-functioning human being. The stories represent life as we know it - but writ large, and in bold.

A book without white rabbits, little girls or mad hatters. But it does feature a dead cat, a couple of prostitutes and a deranged car mechanic. So, there is something for everyone in this story about an ex telephone engineer pretending to be Sam Spade.

A bold reading of the modern-realist aesthetic and an articulate challenge to several enduring and limiting myths about Canadian writing, Modern Realism in English- Canadian Fiction will stimulate important debate in literary circles everywhere.
