Smith: Encyclopedia of Junk Food & Fast Food

This encyclopedia is intended to be the primary balanced source for information about fast food and junk food. It focuses specifically on national fast food franchises and commercial junk food targeted at youth. Junk food is defined as those commercial products, including candy, bakery goods, ice cream, salty snacks, and soft drinks, which have little or no nutritional value but do have plenty of calories, salt, and fats. While not all fast foods are junk foods, most are. Fast foods are ready-to-eat foods served promptly aft er ordering. Some fast foods are high in calories and low in nutritional value, while other fast foods, such as salads, may be low in calories and high in nutritional value.

This encyclopedia is aimed at the general reader and students who are interested in junk food and fast food. The entries in it are listed in alphabetical order. Overview entries, such as those on Fast Food, Chains, and Soda/Soft Drink explain the term, give an overview, and describe its significance. Specific entries, such as those on Snickers, Hires Root Beer, and Coca-Cola, give brief histories of these products and note their significance.

Each entry contains cross-references in bold type to other entries in the encyclopedia and a list of suggested readings at the end. Following the introduction, there is a chronology of key junk food and fast food events and people. At the back of the encyclopedia are a glossary and a resource guide of books, films, and Web sites. This encyclopedia is fully indexed.

Swarbrick: Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology 3rd Edition 6 Volume Set

The third edition of this encyclopedia continues the focus on the discovery, development, design, manufacture, testing, regulation, and commercialization of drugs and dosage forms. Areas of emphasis include pharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, analytical chemistry, quality assurance, drug safety, and manufacturing processes. Both more traditional and newer technologies and processes are included, with an increased emphasis on biotechnology and large molecule development. Current trends relating to solid state aspects of drug entities are also included, reflecting again the advances made in this area.

While of primary interest to pharmaceutical scientists and management in the pharmaceutical and related industries, including regulatory agencies, the encyclopedia will be of value to those in academia undertaking pharmaceutical research and those responsible for the education and training in pharmaceutical science and technology of graduate and undergraduate students.

The print version of the third edition consists of six volumes totaling about 4400 pages, an approximately 45% increase in content compared to the second edition. The number of articles has increased to almost 300 titles arranged alphabetically by subject and the number of contributors has risen by over 50% to in excess of 500 individuals. The new edition now contains a Topical Table of Contents, whose purpose is to group article titles into categories and subcategories, thereby making the reader aware of other related and relevant articles.

As was the case with the second edition, the online version includes everything in the print version and also offers the convenience of a keyword search engine as well as the inclusion of color illustrations. New and revise articles will be digitally posted quarterly and available to all subscribers of the electronic version.
