Book excerpt: Excerpt from Food Prices in Perspective: A Summary Analysis Retail food prices in the United States rose an average of over 9 percent annually from 1973 to 1979. Examining why these increases occurred and what can be done to slow their rate of increase is the subject of this report. The authors conclude that substantially reducing the upward movement in food prices is going to require the same long-term effort needed for doing so in the economy generally. In addition, actions to reduce the volatility in commodity prices appear needed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Retail food prices in the United States rose over90% annually from 1973 to 1979. Increases in prices result from higher farm-level commodity prices and higher marketingcosts. Food production costs, trade policies, food marketing costs, and structural changes are controllable in varying degrees. Control of fluctuations due to weather and the biological nature of food production processes is unlikely. Consumers are partially responsible for food priceincreases through rising incomes and changing lifestyles. Reduction of the upward movement in food prices will requirea long-term effort. The Government, food industry, and consumers can slow price increases by 1) supporting programsto reduce inflation rate; 2) encouraging price competition; 3) encouraging consumer nutrition education; 4) stabilizing trade flows; 5) reviewing regulations; 6) eliminating labor practices and policies that limit savings; 7) encouraging new technology, especially packaging, adoption.

This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Food Prices Before and After Distribution of Welfare Checks, Low-Income Areas, Seven Cities, 1969 This report presents the results of a survey of prices of identical food items before and after issuance of welfare checks in low-income areas. A] These areas were randomly selected in seven cities: Washington, D.C., Jackson, Miss., Boston, Mass., Newark, n.j., Detroit, Mich., Cleveland, Ohio, and Oakland, Calif. In total, 261 stores were shopped and purchases made on the same day of the week before and after welfare checks were distributed. The surveys were conducted during spring and summer months of 1969. Four types of analyses were made: (1) variations in prices paid for identical items purchased 1 week apart, (2) factors contributing to price changes, (3) cost of identical market baskets of food, and (4) miscellaneous factors affecting the total grocery bill. These analyses are discussed in the following paragraphs along with a brief resume of the incidence of items being out of stock the second week. Because of some major differences in the seven cities, the findings of each are presented, followed by a description of the methodology used in the conduct of the survey. The report concludes with a statistical analysis of the data and a summary, by type of store, of data from each city surveyed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Analysis and Cost of Ready-to-Serve Foods: A Study in Food Economics A celebrated school mistress once asked that a book be written which would tell her what apple sauce was Without introducing the terms protein, carbohydrate and fat. Alas, that is impossible. It would be like teaching architecture without mentioning brick, gran ite and marble! But the knowledge IS not recondite. Protein is the characteristic solid constituent of muscle. The pro tein framework is essential for the manifestation of those properties whose aggregate is called life. And besides this, water and salts enter into the organization of the living particles. These salts are as varied as are those of the sea water and they are essential to living things. In vertebrates, salts are further used to build the larger framework of the bones. When various molecules of protein are united in a certain definite order with water and salts, life is possible. If the definite order is disturbed, death results. Life depends on the arrangement Of the particles. One recalls the story of the Yankee who, during the win ter months, sold a sure cure for potato bugs with the caution not to be opened till wanted for use and with the promise of instructions for use inside the package. 'in the summer time, on opening the package the farmer found two small cubes with the directions place the potato bug on one Cube and press firmly with the other. Death not only takes place through such disarrangement of the particles, but also it may follow on the in uence of a poison which pre vents the proper functioning of the living thing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It was surprising what old experiences remembered could do to a presumably educated, civilized man.” And Hugh Denismore, a young doctor driving his mother’s Cadillac from Los Angeles to Phoenix, is eminently educated and civilized. He is privileged, would seem to have the world at his feet, even. Then why does the sight of a few redneck teenagers disconcert him? Why is he reluctant to pick up a disheveled girl hitchhiking along the desert highway? And why is he the first person the police suspect when she is found dead in Arizona a few days later? Dorothy B. Hughes ranks with Raymond Chandler and Patricia Highsmith as a master of mid-century noir. In books like In a Lonely Place and Ride the Pink Horse she exposed a seething discontent underneath the veneer of twentieth-century prosperity. With The Expendable Man, first published in 1963, Hughes upends the conventions of the wrong-man narrative to deliver a story that engages readers even as it implicates them in the greatest of all American crimes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Both a masterpiece about the universal human condition and a masterpiece of Native American literature. . . . A book everyone should read for the joy and emotion of the language it contains.” — The Paris Review A special 50th anniversary edition of the magnificent Pulitzer Prize-winning novel from renowned Kiowa writer and poet N. Scott Momaday, with a new preface by the author A young Native American, Abel has come home from war to find himself caught between two worlds. The first is the world of his father’s, wedding him to the rhythm of the seasons, the harsh beauty of the land, and the ancient rites and traditions of his people. But the other world—modern, industrial America—pulls at Abel, demanding his loyalty, trying to claim his soul, and goading him into a destructive, compulsive cycle of depravity and disgust. An American classic, House Made of Dawn is at once a tragic tale about the disabling effects of war and cultural separation, and a hopeful story of a stranger in his native land, finding his way back to all that is familiar and sacred.

From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds, Richard Powers’s twelfth novel unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. There is a world alongside ours—vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe.

Book excerpt: 'The best business book I've ever read.' Bill Gates, Wall Street Journal 'The Michael Lewis of his day.' New York Times What do the $350 million Ford Motor Company disaster known as the Edsel, the fast and incredible rise of Xerox, and the unbelievable scandals at General Electric and Texas Gulf Sulphur have in common? Each is an example of how an iconic company was defined by a particular moment of fame or notoriety. These notable and fascinating accounts are as relevant today to understanding the intricacies of corporate life as they were when the events happened. Stories about Wall Street are infused with drama and adventure and reveal the machinations and volatile nature of the world of finance. John Brooks's insightful reportage is so full of personality and critical detail that whether he is looking at the astounding market crash of 1962, the collapse of a well-known brokerage firm, or the bold attempt by American bankers to save the British pound, one gets the sense that history really does repeat itself. This business classic written by longtime New Yorker contributor John Brooks is an insightful and engaging look into corporate and financial life in America.
