David Taylor – författare

Det är nästan så att man är frestad att utropa ”äntligen!” på känt Nobel-manér, när Taylors & Jones korvbok nu blivit verklighet.

Fastfood Magazine

Det är ett smart grepp att inleda någon i frestelse. Rakt in i den. Och det är precis vad Taylor & Jones gör i sin korvbok.

Västerviks-Tidningen

I Taylors & Jones Korvbok finns recept på hur du tillverkar drygt 40 av deras godaste korvar, t ex Italian Style Pork, Lamb Merguez, Beef and Garlic och Cumberland Style Pork. Utöver dessa finns ett 50-tal middagsrecept där korven spelar huvudrollen och du väljer själv om du använder egengjord eller köpt korv. Recept på goda tillbehör som senap, korvbröd, potatissallader och coleslaw finns också.

Du får en genomgång av det du behöver veta för att tillverka korv för hemmabruk, t ex vilken utrustning du behöver, malningsgrad, tips på olika smaksättningar, förvaring och hållbarhet. Allt varvat med personliga anekdoter om hur de olika korvrecepten kom till och om andra intressanta korvmöten.

Gareth Jones: ”Jag har bott här under större delen av mitt vuxna liv. Jag rör mig mer i svenska kretsar än i brittiska. Ändå lyckades jag trilla över något så brittiskt som korvtillverkning. Och då menar jag inte vilken korv som helst, utan något som är snudd på urbrittiskt – riktig handgjord korv. Bangers. Med kryddor som varje britt skulle välkomna med ett leende.”

Gareth Jones kommer från Mumbles utanför Swansea i södra Wales och har arbetat som kock i olika delar av världen.

David Taylor, slaktare från Moira utanför Belfast i Nordirland. David började arbeta som slaktare redan vid 15 års ålder.

Kerim Akkoc, idésprutan från Hägersten i Stockholm. Utbildad kock med 20 års erfarenhet i yrket.

Gareth, David och Kerim är Taylors & Jones. Till sin hjälp i boken har de haft Herman Rasmuson - kock, entreprenör och uppfinnare till bl a GarlicCard.

Utsedd till Årets Speciallitteratur Råvara 2013 av Måltidsakademien. Juryns motivering:"Passionen för korv i alla former och smaker präglar denna kokbok. Dessa skarpskurna korvprofiler manar till tillverkning av korv och korvrätter i hemmet och inspirerar till hantverk, som lyfter korven in i finrummet."

Att stoppa egen korv har sällan känts så lockande. Matentusiasterna Taylor och Jones har gett korven huvudrollen och skapat ett nytt smakspektrum, med inspiration från länder världen över.

Förutom läckra recept på både korvar och tillbehör får vi bland annat lära oss om utrustning, malningsgrad och hållbarhet.

Critical distance methods are extremely useful for predicting fracture and fatigue in engineering components. They also represent an important development in the theory of fracture mechanics. Despite being in use for over fifty years in some fields, there has never been a book about these methods - until now.

So why now? Because the increasing use of computer-aided stress analysis (by FEA and other techniques) has made these methods extremely easy to use in practical situations. This is turn has prompted researchers to re-examine the underlying theory with renewed interest.

The Theory of Critical Distances�begins with a general introduction to the phenomena of mechanical failure in materials: a basic understanding of solid mechanics and materials engineering is assumed, though appropriate introductory references are provided where necessary. After a simple explanation of how to use critical distance methods, and a more detailed exposition of the methods including their history and classification, the book continues by showing examples of how critical distance approaches can be applied to predict fracture and fatigue in different classes of materials. Subsequent chapters include some more complex theoretical areas, such as multiaxial loading and contact problems, and a range of practical examples using case studies of real engineering components taken from the author's own consultancy work.

The Theory of Critical Distances will be of interest to a range of readers, from academic researchers concerned with the theoretical basis of the subject, to industrial engineers who wish to incorporate the method into modern computer-aided design and analysis.

The return of the once-dormant economies of China and India to dynamism and growth is one of the most remarkable stories in recent history. The two countries are home to nearly 40 percent of the world''s population, but until recently neither had played an influential role in the contemporary global economy. In the past two decades, China and India have liberalized internal economic policy, treatment of foreign investment, and trade, and have experienced economic growth at sustained high rates. From the point of view of the United States, however, the most important development in the Chinese and Indian economies in the long term may be the strides they are making in developing their own domestic innovation capacities. After a long period of underinvestment, both countries have committed to growing their science and education systems to bolster research and further economic expansion. Some observers of the recent growth have said that both countries are surging in their efforts to spur innovation; others have emphasized the potential of one country over the other; and still others have suggested that both China and India have a long way to go before achieving innovation-driven growth. With such a range of views, The National Academies set out to describe developments in both countries, in relation to each other and the rest of the world, by organizing a conference in Washington, D.C. The conference, summarized in this volume, discussed recent changes at both the macroeconomic level and also in selected industries, and explored the causes and implications of those changes.
