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.

Western Front: Landscape, Tourism and Heritage
The Western Front has become, once again, and after 100 years, an important and increasingly popular tourist destination.The Centenary is already encouraging large numbers of visitors to engage with this highly poignant landscape of war and to commemorate the sacrifice and loss of a previous generation.Interest is also being sharpened in the 'places of war' as battle-sites, trench-systems, bunkers and mine craters gain a clearer identity as war heritage.For the first time this book brings together the three strands of heritage, landscape and tourism to provide a fresh understanding of the multi-layered nature of the Western Front.The book approaches the area as a rich dynamic landscape which can be viewed in a startling variety of ways: historically, materially, culturally, and perceptually.To illustrate these two dominant interpretations of the region's landscape - commemorative and heritage - are highlighted and their relationship to tourism explored.Tourism is a lens through which these layers can be peeled away, and each understood and interacted with according to the individual's own knowledge, motivation, and degree of emotional engagement.Tourism is not regarded here as a passive phenomenon, but as an active agent that can determine, dictate and inscribe this evocative landscape. The Western Front: Heritage, Landscape and Tourism is a timely addition to our increasing interest in the First World War and the places where it was fought.It will be indispensable to those who seek a deeper understanding of the conflict from previously undervalued perspectives.

Among which thermal pads is thermal paste used?
Thermal paste is typically used between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat transfer. It is not used with thermal pads, as thermal pads are pre-applied or placed between components where a more solid interface is needed. Thermal paste is a better choice for areas where there are small gaps or uneven surfaces that need to be filled for optimal heat dissipation.
-
How can one forget culture and heritage?
One can forget culture and heritage by not actively engaging with it, by being disconnected from one's roots and community, and by prioritizing other aspects of life over preserving and celebrating one's cultural identity. This can happen through assimilation into a different culture, lack of exposure to one's own cultural traditions and practices, and a lack of interest in learning about one's heritage. Additionally, societal pressures and discrimination can also contribute to the erasure of one's culture and heritage.
-
Should one use a thermal pad instead of thermal paste?
Whether to use a thermal pad or thermal paste depends on the specific application and personal preference. Thermal pads are convenient and easy to use, making them a good choice for beginners or for situations where precision application is difficult. However, thermal paste generally provides better thermal conductivity and is often preferred for high-performance applications such as gaming PCs or overclocking. Ultimately, the decision should be based on the specific requirements of the hardware and the user's level of expertise.

What is the difference between thermal energy and thermal power?
Thermal energy refers to the internal energy present in a system due to the motion and interaction of its particles. It is a measure of the total kinetic and potential energy of the particles in a substance. On the other hand, thermal power refers to the rate at which thermal energy is transferred or converted into other forms of energy, such as mechanical or electrical energy. It is a measure of the amount of thermal energy transferred per unit of time. In summary, thermal energy is the total energy present in a system, while thermal power is the rate at which thermal energy is transferred or converted.

Sustainable Marketing of Transformative Heritage Tourism
This book proposes that sustainable marketing should be founded on a higher level of consciousness, governed by the Eastern ethical principles of dharma and karma.It suggests a socially responsible, integrated marketing strategy to boost transformational heritage tourism. The book puts forward a framework to promote and inspire transformative heritage tourism from a sustainable marketing perspective.Drawing on examples from different parts of the world such as Thailand, China, the USA, India, Australia, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Hong Kong, it takes a unique approach by integrating elements associated with distributive justice, procedural justice, morally motivated existentialist authentic experiences and the well-being of visited and visiting environments.The book pivots on the planning and marketing of heritage of communities such as local, descendent and indigenous across eight broad themes: (1) promotion and sustainable branding of heritage tourism; (2) empowerment of indigenous communities; (3) authenticity and conservation of heritage; (4) safeguarding of art, culture and cultural landscapes; (5) economic viability for the host communities; (6) interpretation and resolution of dissonant heritage representations; (7) stimulating audience engagement and co-created mindful spaces and; (8) facilitating moral consciousness and stimulating lasting inner transformation in guests and hosts.Scholars can replicate and/or test the proposed guided sustainable marketing model, referred to as the transformative heritage tourism pathway, which is adapted from a) the needs, activities and well-being sequential path of transformation and, b) the socially responsible sustainable marketing doctrine guided by the principles of 'dharma' and 'karma'.This book is unique as it stresses eudaimonia as the ultimate goal of well-being and argues that its pursuit can steer the sustained transformation route toward a higher sense of consciousness and responsible production and consumption of heritage resources. In summary, this book contributes toward advancing the dialogue on sustainable marketing and transformative heritage tourism.It will appeal to researchers, undergraduates and practitioners interested in sustainable marketing, transformative heritage tourism and social, ecological, cultural and economic welfare of visited and visiting destinations.

Cultural Heritage and Tourism in Africa
Cultural Heritage and Tourism in Africa examines the multiple and diverse manifestations of cultural heritage-based tourism in Africa from a regional, social science, and sustainability perspective. This book delivers a comprehensive treatise on the interdependent concepts of cultural heritage and tourism.Heritage is one of the most pervasive tourism assets worldwide and lies at the foundations of tourism in many localities, including Africa.However, despite its salience, there has not been a systematic examination of Africa’s heritage resources, markets, policies, practices, successes, and challenges in a tourism framework, despite the continent’s immense heritage value.This book reviews the different types of heritages that pervade the cultural environment of Africa and comprises its vast heritagescapes.It also examines the increasing potential for the growth of heritage tourism throughout the entire continent.The contributions in this volume delve into current thinking about space and place and their effects on heritage, mobilities, globalization, colonialism and indigeneity, conflict, identity and nation-building, connections with other regions through migration and the slave trade, and a greater emphasis on the ordinary heritage of Africa, which has long been ignored by tourism scholars and industry representatives.The chapters herein are authored by Africa specialists, most being from Africa, offering a truly African perspective.The chapters are conceptually rigorous and empirically rich with examples from all regions of the African continent. This unparalleled interdisciplinary glimpse at cultural heritage and tourism in Africa delivers strong value and is a vital resource for all students and researchers of tourism, cultural studies, heritage studies, geography, anthropology, sociology, history, and global studies.

What is the difference between convection, thermal radiation, and thermal conduction?
Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases) due to differences in temperature. Thermal radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as infrared radiation, without the need for a medium. Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat through a material without any movement of the material itself, as heat is transferred through direct contact between molecules. Each of these processes plays a role in how heat is transferred in different scenarios.
-
What conducts thermal paste?
Thermal paste is typically made of a mixture of silicone compounds and metal oxides, such as zinc oxide or silver oxide. These compounds are good conductors of heat, allowing them to efficiently transfer heat between the surfaces of a CPU or GPU and a heat sink. The thermal paste fills in microscopic imperfections on the surfaces, creating a more direct path for heat to flow from the processor to the heat sink.

What is thermal underwear?
Thermal underwear is a type of clothing worn under regular clothes to provide extra warmth in cold weather. It is typically made from materials that are designed to trap body heat close to the skin, such as polyester or merino wool. Thermal underwear is often worn during outdoor activities like skiing, snowboarding, or hiking to help regulate body temperature and keep the wearer comfortable in cold conditions.
-
What is thermal radiation?
Thermal radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation emitted by an object due to its temperature. It is a type of heat transfer that does not require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. All objects with a temperature above absolute zero emit thermal radiation, with the amount and wavelength of radiation depending on the temperature of the object. Thermal radiation plays a crucial role in the transfer of heat energy and is responsible for the warmth we feel from the sun and other heated objects.
