While most wine and spirits books focus on vineyard and crop management or fermentation and distillation processes few address critical post process aspects of stabilization aging and spoilage. This book serves as a comprehensive source of information on post-fermentation and -distillation technology applied to wine beer vinegar and distillates in a broad spectrum.

The final product must be stable against microbial activity as well as undesirable chemical and physical chemical reactions that occur in the bottle. For example clarity stability compositional adjustment style development and packaging represent the five goals of finishing a wine. Concerning the visual defects associated with spoilage it is crucial that wine at the point of consumption not be cloudy or contain any haze or precipitate especially white wines. Similarly it is also important to prevent unwanted microbial growth from occurring in the wine after the primary fermentation is complete affecting the flavor and aroma profile in unpredicted ways. The book addresses all of these issues and more. Moreover the discussion also involves beer vinegar and distillates giving this book a novel and interesting approach. The book combines referenced research with practical applications and case studies of novel technologies such as square barrels synthetic closures and Tetra Pak®. | Post-Fermentation and -Distillation Technology Stabilization Aging and Spoilage

Illuminating Errors New Essays on Knowledge from Non-Knowledge

This is the first collection of essays exclusively devoted to knowledge from non-knowledge and related issues. It features original contributions from some of the most prominent and up-and-coming scholars working in contemporary epistemology. There is a nascent literature in epistemology about the possibility of inferential knowledge based on premises that are for one reason or another not known. The essays in this book explore if and how epistemology can accommodate cases where knowledge is generated from something other than knowledge. Can reasoning from false beliefs generate knowledge? Can reasoning from unjustified beliefs generate knowledge? Can reasoning from gettiered beliefs generate knowledge? Can reasoning from propositions one does not even believe generate knowledge? The contributors to this book tackle these and other questions head-on. Together they advance the debate about knowledge from non-knowledge in novel and interesting directions. Illuminating Errors will be of interest to researchers and advanced students working in epistemology and philosophy of mind. | Illuminating Errors New Essays on Knowledge from Non-Knowledge

The Democratic Dilemma of American Education Out of Many One?

The Democratic Dilemma of American Education Out of Many One?

This compelling new book asks: How can American education policy be consistent with democratic ideals? Robust democracy is the combination of participation self-rule equality understanding and inclusion but these norms can produce contradictory policy.

The Democratic Dilemma of American Education draws on contemporary research in political science and education policy to offer remarkably balanced insights into these challenging issues. Expertly navigating through local state and federal layers of education policy Arnold Shober examines contemporary controversies over education governance teachers unions and collective bargaining school funding school choice academic accountability and desegregation. Shober describes the inherent practical dilemmas of current policy and the difficulties policymakers face in overcoming them to produce lasting educational reform in a democratic federal system of government. Timely engaging and accessible this is the ideal resource for courses in public policy as well as education and politics. | The Democratic Dilemma of American Education Out of Many One?

Cognition and Categorization

Cognition and Categorization

Originally published in 1978 the papers in this book derive from a 1976 meeting sponsored by the Social Science Research Council to discuss the nature and principles of category formation. It is organized in three sections: real-world categories the cognitive processes underlying categorization and the nature of representation. Part I examines different structural aspects of real-world categories: folk biological taxonomies within and between category structures for material objects and some categories in a language that codes the world in a visual–gestural mode. All three chapters in Part I assume category processors who are able to perform at least three cognitive functions: They can judge similarity between stimuli; they can perceive and process the attributes of a stimulus; and they can learn. Part II presents analyses of these three cognitive functions. All discussion of psychological structures and processes lead eventually to the issue of representation and Part III examines representational assumptions underlying the earlier discussions. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context. | Cognition and Categorization

The Impact of Immigration on African Americans

The Impact of Immigration on African Americans

Immigration has significant consequences for all Americans but especially for African Americans. áThe sheer magnitude of immigration-it is the primary factor driving population growth-is so large that it directly or indirectly affects the economic political social and environmental circumstances of most Americans. áBut the geographic concentration of immigrants in urban areas and the economic concentration of immigrants in the low-wage sector of the labor market have special consequences for African Americans since they are especially likely to live in urban areas and to be low-wage workers. These effects can be both negative and positive. Immigration has sharply increased the supply of labor into the low-wage sector of the labor market which tends to reduce wages and employment opportunities for low-wage native workers. Employers may prefer hiring immigrants who are perceived to be hard working and uncomplaining to hiring African Americans. Immigrants can also increase the competition for scarce public services (especially education) on which African Americans depend. Yet immigration can also stimulate economic growth and urban revitalization which can increase job opportunities and spread an ideology of multiculturalism. Immigration can dilute the political power of African Americans but it can also strengthen the civil rights coalition. Immigration can benefit some groups while hurting others. This volume presents research and analysis that reflects and advances the debates about the economic and political consequences of immigration for African Americans. The contributors include Gerald Jaynes (Yale University) Vernon Briggs (Cornell University) Frank Bean and Jennifer Lee (University of California Irvine) Robert Cherry (Brooklyn College) Manuel Pastor (University of California Santa Cruz) and Enrique Marcelli (University of Massachusetts Boston) Steven Camarota (Center for Immigration Studies) Frank Morris (University of Texas Dallas) Steven Shulman (Colorado State University) and Hannes Johannsson (Office of the Comptroller of the Currency) and Lisa Catanzarite (University of California Los Angeles). | The Impact of Immigration on African Americans
