Restoring Heritage Grains : The Culture, Biodiversity, Resilience, and Cuisine of Ancient Wheats
Including recipes for baking with EinkornWheat is the most widely grown crop on our planet, yet industrial breeders have transformed this ancient staff of life into a commodity of yield and profit—witness the increase in gluten intolerance and 'wheat belly’. Modern wheat depends on synthetic fertilizer and herbicides that damage our health, land, water, and environment.Fortunately, heritage ‘landrace' wheats that evolved over millennia in the organic fields of traditional farms do not need bio-chemical intervention to yield bountifully, are gluten-safe, have rich flavor and high nutrition.Yet the robust, majestic wheats that nourished our ancestors are on the verge of extinction. In Restoring Heritage Grains, author Eli Rogosa of the Heritage Grain Conservancy, invites readers to restore forgotten wheats such as delicious gluten-safe einkorn that nourished the first Neolithic farmers, emmer—the grain of ancient Israel, Egypt, and Rome that is perfect for pasta and flatbreads, rare durums that are drought-tolerant and high in protein, and many more little known wheat species, each of which have a lineage intertwined with the human species and that taste better than any modern wheat. Restoring Heritage Grains combines the history of grain growing and society, in-depth practical advice on landrace wheat husbandry, wheat folk traditions and mythology, and guidelines for the Neolithic diet with traditional recipes for rustic bread, pastry and beer.Discover the ancient grains that may be one of the best solutions to hunger today, and provide resilience for our future.

Authenticity in North America : Place, Tourism, Heritage, Culture and the Popular Imagination
This interdisciplinary book addresses the highly relevant debates about authenticity in North America, providing a contemporary re-examination of American culture, tourism and commodification of place.Blending social sciences and humanities research skills, it formulates an examination of the geography of authenticity in North America, and brings together studies of both rurality and urbanity across the country, exposing the many commonalities of these different landscapes.Relph stated that nostalgic places are inauthentic, yet within this work several chapters explore how festivals and visitor attractions, which cultivate place heritage appeal, are authenticated by tourists and communities, creating a shared sense of belonging.In a world of hyperreal simulacra, post-truth and fake news, this book bucks the trend by demonstrating that authenticity can be found everywhere: in a mouthful of food, in a few bars of a Beach Boys song, in a statue of a troll, in a diffuse magical atmosphere, in the weirdness of the ungentrified streets.Written by a range of leading experts, this book offers a contemporary view of American authenticity, tourism, identity and culture.It will be of great interest to upper-level students, researchers and academics in Tourism, Geography, History, Cultural Studies, American Studies and Film Studies.

How much torque can a torque converter automatic transmission transfer?
A torque converter automatic transmission can transfer a significant amount of torque, typically ranging from 200 to 600 lb-ft in most passenger vehicles. However, heavy-duty trucks and high-performance vehicles can handle even higher torque levels, up to 1000 lb-ft or more. The torque converter allows for smooth power delivery and torque multiplication, making it suitable for a wide range of vehicles and driving conditions.
-
What is the difference between the torque and the holding torque?
Torque is a measure of the rotational force produced by a motor, while holding torque is the amount of torque required to maintain a stationary position. In other words, torque is the force that causes rotation, while holding torque is the force that resists rotation and keeps an object in place. Holding torque is important in applications where the motor needs to hold a position without moving, such as in robotics or CNC machines.
-
Who can explain torque?
Torque can be explained by a physicist or an engineer who understands the concept of rotational force. Torque is a measure of the rotational force applied to an object, causing it to rotate around an axis. It is calculated by multiplying the force applied by the distance from the axis of rotation. Understanding torque is essential in various fields such as mechanics, engineering, and physics.
-
Why is torque not work?
Torque is not work because work is defined as the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force. Torque, on the other hand, is the product of force and the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line of action of the force. Therefore, torque does not directly result in displacement in the direction of the force, and as a result, it does not contribute to the work done on an object. Instead, torque is associated with the rotational motion of an object.

Automobile Heritage and Tourism
Automobile heritage encompasses a complex range of artefacts and activities.Beyond just historic vehicles which are the primary artefacts of this niche, it also includes communities of collectors and enthusiasts, private owners and public institutions, as well as historic motoring environments, literally thousands of museums, exhibitions and car shows throughout the world, and a range of paraphernalia that includes both original and replicated promotional materials, equipment and parts, and guide books.Although automobile heritage has been the subject of some limited research, Automobile Heritage and Tourism is unique in examining its scope and role within tourism.The book looks at a vast array of topics, from the experience of using and collecting old cars, related destination development, automobile heritage and museums, to events such as vintage automobile racing, promotion and social change.It thereby provides a thorough review of the impacts of automobile heritage on tourism.A number of theories provide a framework and are analysed throughout, including those related to the collection, display, exhibition and use of historic automobiles.The title takes a global and interdisciplinary view of the subject with international contributions from both established and emerging scholars in the field. This book adds to the industrial heritage tourism literature and will appeal to a diverse audience, in particular those in the fields of cultural heritage and industrial heritage tourism, but also practitioners involved with the planning, restoration, exhibition and management of automobile heritage attractions and events.

What is a torque converter?
A torque converter is a type of fluid coupling that is used in vehicles with automatic transmissions to transfer power from the engine to the transmission. It allows the engine to continue running even when the vehicle is at a standstill, such as when stopped at a traffic light. The torque converter uses fluid to transmit power and provides a smooth and gradual transfer of power between the engine and transmission, allowing the vehicle to accelerate smoothly.
-
Who can explain the torque?
Torque is a measure of the rotational force applied to an object. It is typically explained by physicists or engineers who understand the concepts of force, distance, and rotation. Torque is calculated by multiplying the force applied to an object by the distance from the point of rotation. It is an important concept in mechanics and is used to describe the effectiveness of a force in rotating an object around an axis.
-
Is torque a vector quantity?
Yes, torque is a vector quantity. This is because torque has both magnitude and direction. The direction of torque is determined by the axis of rotation and the direction in which the force is applied. Therefore, torque is represented by an arrow pointing along the axis of rotation in the direction of the force.
-
What is the installation torque?
The installation torque is the amount of force required to tighten a fastener, such as a bolt or screw, to a specified level. It is important to apply the correct installation torque to ensure that the fastener is securely tightened without being over-torqued, which can lead to damage or failure. The installation torque is typically specified by the manufacturer of the fastener and is often measured in units such as foot-pounds or Newton-meters.
