Food Chemistry in Small Bites
Food Chemistry in Small Bites takes readers on an up-close scientific journey through the transformation of food when meals are prepared. Organized in bite-size, digestible units, this innovative text introduces students to food's molecular makeup as well as the perception of food by the five senses. Using familiar foods as examples, it explores what happens to ingredients when heated, cooled, or treated and also considers what happens when materials that don't naturally mix are forced to do so. With informative, full-color renderings and a hands-on lab section, the book encourages students to think like scientists while preparing delicious dishes. Readers will formulate hypotheses as to why certain foods taste hot despite being at room temperature, why milk separates into curds and whey when lemon is added, and other ordinary but chemically complex phenomena. This book also importantly challenges readers to think critically about the future of food in the face of a warming planet.

Drawing on author's 30+ years of teaching experience, "Discrete-Time Signals and Systems: A MATLAB Integrated Approach" represents a novel and comprehensive approach to understanding signals and systems theory. Many textbooks use MATLAB as a computational tool, but Alkin's text employs MATLAB both computationally and pedagogically to provide interactive, visualreinforcement of fundamental concepts important in the study of discrete-time signals and systems.In addition to 204 traditional end-of-chapter problems and 160 solved examples, the book includes hands-on MATLAB modules consisting of: 108 MATLAB-based homework problems and projects (coordinated with the traditional end-of-chapter problems) 44 live scripts and GUI-based interactive apps that animate key figures and bring core concepts to life Downloadable MATLAB code for most of the solved examples 92 fully detailed MATLAB exercises that involve step by step development of code to simulate the relevant signal and/or system being discussed, including some case studies on topics such as real-time audio processing, synthesizers, electrocardiograms, sunspot numbers, etc. The ebook+ version includes clickable links that allow running MATLAB code associated with solved examples and exercises in a browser, using the online version of MATLAB. It also includes audio and video files for some of the examples. Each module or application is linked to a specific segment of the text to ensure seamless integration between learning and doing. The aim is to not simply give the student just another toolbox of MATLAB functions, but to use the development of MATLAB code as part of the learning process, or as a litmus test of students' understanding of the key concepts. All relevant MATLAB code is freely available from the publisher. In addition, a solutions manual, figures, presentation slides and other ancillary materials are available for instructors with qualifying course adoption.
