"Рейзен" был для меня все равно, нто меч для самурая. Я ощущал его как собственное тело," - так писал один из японских пилотов о самом известном японском самолете второй мировой войны. Hачиная с Перл-Харбора до последних боев по отражению налетов на Японию американских В-29, истребитель Мицубиси А6М Рейзеи (сокращенно от "Рейсики зентоки" - "Истребитель ноль") участвовал практически во всех воздушных сражениях, проводимых императорским флотом. Его отличная маневренность и высокая дальность полета стали почти легендой, и до сего дня "Зеро" остается символом японской авиации. Его мировая слава была завоевана в первых боях на Тихом океане, когда в течение шести месяцев он не знал серьезного отпора. Hо в ходе войны японцы не сумели обеспечить ему достойной замены - истребителя, способного превзойти противника по скорости, вооружению и живучести. И, начиная с конца 1942 г, нести свой крест боев для А6М было все тяжелей. Hесмотря на то, что после 1943 г истребитель уже явно устарел, японцы продолжали выпускать его до конца войны. В результате "Рейзен" стал самым массовым японским самолетом.

Formidable and sophisticated, triremes were the deadliest battleship of the ancient world, and at the height of their success, the Athenians were the dominant exponents of their devastating power. Primarily longships designed to fight under oar power, the trireme was built for lightness and strength; ship-timber was mostly softwoods such as poplar, pine and fir, while the oars and mast were made out of fir. Their main weapon was a bronze-plated ram situated at the prow. From the combined Greek naval victory at Salamis (480 BC), through the Peloponnesian War, and up until the terrible defeat by the Macedonians at Amorgos, the Athenian trireme was an object of dread to its enemies. This book offers a complete analysis and insight into the most potent battleship of its time; the weapon by which Athens achieved, maintained, and ultimately lost its power and prosperity.

Food Safety is an increasingly important issue. Numerous food crises have occurred internationally in recent years (the use of the dye Sudan Red I; the presence of acrylamide in various fried and baked foods; mislabelled or unlabelled genetically modified foods; and the outbreak of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease) originating in both primary agricultural production and in the food manufacturing industries. Public concern at these and other events has led government agencies to implement a variety of legislative actions covering many aspects of the food chain. This book presents and compares the HACCP and ISO 22000:2005 food safety management systems. These systems were introduced to improve and build upon existing systems in an attempt to address the kinds of failures which can lead to food crises. Numerous practical examples illustrating the application of ISO 22000 to the manufacture of food products of animal origin are presented in this extensively-referenced volume. After an opening chapter which introduces ISO 22000 and compares it with the well-established HACCP food safety management system, a summary of international legislation relating to safety in foods of animal origin is presented. The main part of the book is divided into chapters which are devoted to the principle groups of animal-derived food products: dairy, meat, poultry, eggs and seafood. Chapters are also included on catering and likely future directions. The book is aimed at food industry managers and consultants; government officials responsible for food safety monitoring; researchers and advanced students interested in food safety.

I also appreciate my wife, Janet, and children, David, Daniel, and Lisa, for allowing me the enormous amount of time it took to complete this writing. Finally, I want to express great appreciation to Stacey Bell for having the original concept for the book and helping me get it off the ground. I endeavored to present the issues in this book as honestly as I could, without trying to make any product supplier look better or worse than reality dictated. Even so, I do want to note the companies that have supported parts of my own mineral research: Albion Laboratories, Nutrition21, Glanbia, and Purac of America.
