Book Description

Since its development by The Pillsbury Company as part of the US space program, the HACCP (hazard analysis critical control point) system has become the most important technique for the identification and prevention of foodborne biological, chemical and physical hazards in food processing. This book presents the latest information on the HACCP concept and gives practical examples of its implementation at all stages of food production and processing from the farm to the consumer. In addition, guidelines are given for the management of the HACCP system within the food industry and how it can be incorporated into a total quality management program. The role of predictive microbiology in HACCP is examined and the relationship of HACCP principles to existing and future international agreements and regulations is explained. This book is essential reading for quality control personnel, production and processing managers in the food industry, and for government regulatory officials. It will also be of great interest to academic researchers studying the microbiology and quality of meat, poultry and fish products.

Book Description

The meat industry is the sector in food processing most vulnerable to the effects of foodborne pathogens such as E. coli 0157 and Salmonella. As a result, it is constantly looking for ways of improving safety. Against the background of consumer and regulatory pressure, the effective implementation of HACCP systems is critical. Written by leading experts in the field, HACCP in the Meat Industry provides an authoritative guide to making HACCP systems work successfully. Part One sets the scene by outlining some of the key issues and the regulatory context in the EU and the U.S. Part Two looks at the application of HACCP principles from the farm to the abattoir and the preparation of fresh meat for sale. There is an initial discussion of setting up HACCP systems on the farm and HACCP plans for the rearing of cattle, sheep, goats, poultry, and pigs. Subsequent chapters then consider HACCP systems for slaughter and other processing operations, examining red meat processing plants. The book covers effective implementation, establishing and monitoring CCps, validation and verification procedures, the auditing of HACCP systems, and future developments in HACCP. The structure of the book provides you with chapters that give a clear account of one aspect or cover one type of material and therefore can be used as stand alone units, allowing you to go directly to the information you need. Taken together they present a practical and coherent guide to HACCP and the industry. HACCP in the Meat Industry gives you the tools you need for successful implementation of HACCP systems in meat processing.

From the supplier: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA) are considering regulations that would require certain sectors of the food industry to adopt Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) systems. The FDA wants seafood manufacturers to employ HACCP techniques as part of their quality assurance programs and the USDA has similar plans for the meat and poultry industry. The food industry is concerned that government legislation will be sufficiently flexible to meet the individual needs of the different food industry sectors.

From the supplier: The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) was developed to improve the efficiency of food safety regulations for the quality control of meat products. HACCP regulations is a set of codified principles that was developed by industrial engineers for the prevention of pathogenic microbial food-borne contamination in food products. The HACCP enhances the safety and control procedures of the meat inspection system by improving sanitation, food production and manufacturing standards.

From the supplier: The broad-based revamp of Agriculture Dept laws linked to meat/poultry inspection called Megareg is apparently causing more problems than solutions to meat processing plant operators. Megareg integrated the mandated hazard analysis critical control point (HACCP) paradigm in the regulatory process of about 300 meat processing plants in Jan 1998. HACCP incorporation was supposed to make food safety both more scientific and easier to put into practice. Conflicts regarding how HACCP is supposed to work in practice are causing friction between USDA inspectors and meat processing plant managers.

From the supplier: The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points program is introducing changes to existing regulations on food safety issues. However, the changes are coming slowly because of debates on how they should be accomplished. Among others, three issues stand out as target of the new initiatives. These are the standard operating procedures followed in plant sanitation, zero tolerance in the antimicrobial treatment of carcasses and procedures for chilling after slaughter of the animals. The changes would also include new regulations for seafood.

From the supplier: An opportunity-cost analysis of the Dept. of Agriculture's Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) law shows that expenses will be less than $0.20 per pound with big plants enjoying a cost advantage. However, the advantage of big plants does not make small plants less feasible. Benefits are estimated to increase significantly with only a slight decrease in costs. Thus, HACCP proves to be a positive development in the move to contain pathogen contamination.

Trouble Shhoting the Cast.......2006-11-05

Ed Jaworowski has written a very user-friendly book on how to diagnose and correct common fly-casting problems. He explains problems and how to correct them in terms that even a beginner can understand. He also assures us that we do not have to have a "model" casting technique. I take Ed's book with me when I go on fly fishing trips to use as a resource if I am having problems. I highly recommend his books.

How to cast correctly and fix what you're doing wrong.......2006-03-07

It's too bad that a book like this has to be written. Ed teaches the best method of fly casting there is, so if you read the first four pages and -> practice <- what he teaches, you'll rarely experience the 32 problems that he writes about in the rest of the book.

If you insist on using an inferior casting method and are having problems, this book is the next best thing to Ed being at your side showing what's wrong and teaching what's right.

77 Pages of Solid Gold.......2005-05-06

Ed Jaworowski's "Troubleshooting the Cast" is the most valuable (and nearly the least expensive) book in my rather substantial collection of flyfishing books. Since I bought it a few years ago I've advised everyone who has asked me about flyfishing to buy this book the same day they buy their first flyrod - or sooner. Even the most impatient person in The Republic would cherish this book because - whatever is going wrong with your cast - you can find it and fix it with this book in a matter of minutes. Once the flyboy (or flygirl) has used this book enough they will be able to "read the line" and knowing what's falling apart and how to correct it starts to become second-nature. Jaworowski's book makes it downright EASY.

Invaluable Reference for Anglers of Any Level.......2002-04-19

This was just the book I was looking for when I had been fly fishing for a while but started running into problems with my cast. This book anticipated all of them and provides easy solutions. Some casting books make it difficult to picture what they're doing with the rod, even with pictures. "Troubleshooting the Cast" lays it out clearly. Highly recommended.

Jaworowski Took My Casting To The Next Level.......2000-02-08

Ed Jaworowski clearly explains why my cast sometimes falls apart and sometimes works well. In "Trouble Shooting the Cast" he demonstrates a thorough understanding of the mechanics of fly-casting and goes from there to clearly pinpoint common casting mistakes. He has done his homework well. Jaworowski identifies and analyzes over 30 common casting problems and gives clear and concise explanations for their underlying causes. He explains the relationships between one problem and another. After dealing with the fundamentals of fly-casting, Jaworowski addresses special problem areas such as casting in the wind and casting shooting heads and weighted flies and leaders.

After studying "Trouble Shooting the Cast," I find that I starting to be able to dissect my (and other's) casting mistakes by just analyzing the movement of the fly line. For instance, Jaworowski clearly explains that line oscillations in my forward cast meant I had slack in the backcast or that the end of my fly line curves to the left or right because I had misdirected hand motion at the last instant of the forward cast. Now I am able to analyze each cast and know what I need to do to correct the problem.

The illustrations in the book are barely adequate, and could be a lot better. Actual photographs contrasting the correct and incorrect casting technique might have helped.

I agree with Lefty Kreh's assessment that Ed Jaworowski is the best fly casting instructor around.

Book Description

THE SAGE Handbook of Conflict Communication: Integrating Theory, Research, and Practice is the first resource to synthesize key theories, research, and practices of conflict communication in a variety of contexts. Editors John Oetzel and Stella Ting-Toomey, as well as expert researchers in the field, emphasize constructive conflict management from a communication perspective which places primacy in the message as the focus of conflict research and practice.Â Â

Key Features:

Examines conflict in multiple contexts: Rather than focusing on a single context, the Handbookâ€™s four parts focus on contexts in which conflict occurs - conflict in relationships and families, conflict at work, conflict in communities, and conflict in international/intercultural situations - and includes an understanding of how each context impacts the others.
Integrates research and practice: The art and science of conflict are blended together by integrating research and practice so that practitioners and scholars know both the theoretical explanations of conflict as well as the skills needed to address conflict.
Offers a thorough review of literature: This book assembles the knowledge base of the field of conflict communication in one volume. A thorough review of literature provides access to a vast amount of research. Since culture shapes the way we view and communicate about conflict, a strong emphasis is placed on cultural diversity.Â Â

Intended Audience:
Perfect for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying Conflict Communication, Conflict Management, Conflict Resolution, Peace and Conflict, and Mediation.Â Â
