Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the role of quality in contemporary capitalism? How is a product as ordinary as a bag of tea judged for its quality? In her innovative study, Sarah Besky addresses these questions by going inside an Indian auction house where experts taste and appraise mass-market black tea, one of the world's most recognized commodities. Pairing rich historical data with ethnographic research among agronomists, professional tea tasters and traders, and tea plantation workers, Besky shows how the meaning of quality has been subjected to nearly constant experimentation and debate throughout the history of the tea industry. Working across fields of political economy, science and technology studies, and sensory ethnography, Tasting Qualities argues for an approach to quality that sees it not as a final destination for economic, imperial, or post-imperial projects but as an opening for those projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Taste of Water explores the increasing erasure of tastes from drinking water over the twentieth century. It asks how dramatic changes in municipal water treatment have altered consumers' awareness of the environment their water comes from. Through examination of the development of sensory expertise in the United States and France over the twentieth century, this unique history uncovers the foundational role palatability has played in shaping Western water treatment processes. By focusing on the relationship between taste and the environment, Christy Spackman shows how efforts to erase unwanted tastes and smells have transformed water into a highly industrialized food product divorced from the natural environment. The Taste of Water invites readers to question their own assumptions about what water does and should naturally taste like while exposing them to the invisible--but substantial--sensory labor involved in creating tap water.

Book excerpt: “There seems to be no one more qualified or equipped to ponder or even, dare I say, dictate ‘quality, taste, and style’ than Tim.” —Sarah Jessica Parker, actor/producer As Bravo’s style mentor on Project Runway and Chair of the Fashion Design Department at Parsons The New School for Design, Tim Gunn became a household name. He delivered advice in a frank, witty, and authoritative manner that delighted audiences. Now readers can benefit from Tim’s considerable fashion wisdom in Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste & Style. He discusses every aspect of creating and maintaining your personal style: how to dress for various occasions, how to shop (from designer to chain to vintage stores), how to pick a fashion mentor, how to improve your posture, find the perfect fit, and more. He’ll challenge every reader—whether a seasoned fashionista or a style neophyte-to “make it work!” “Tim Gunn’s book is as fun and informative as his knowledge of fashion!!!” —Diane von Furstenberg, designer “Tim’s book is perfect for helping you find your own personal style and accentuate it. His witty and encouraging voice is evident throughout, focusing on everything from organizing your closet and maintaining your wardrobe to caring for your skin and perfecting your posture. Whether you’re a fashion expert or a style novice, Tim’s book is full of practical yet chic tidbits everyone can enjoy.” —Nina Garcia, editor-in-chief of Elle magazine “Whether revealing the secrets of ‘The Under Arsenal’ or ruminating on the ‘tone’ and ‘diction’ of a handbag, Gunn’s text is clever, a touch waggish, and highly practical for both ensemble mavens and fashion criminals.” —Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: This book offers a sustained, interdisciplinary examination of taste. It addresses a range of topics that have been at the heart of lively debates in philosophy of language, linguistics, metaphysics, aesthetics, and experimental philosophy. Our everyday lives are suffused with discussions about taste. We are quick to offer familiar platitudes about taste, but we struggle when facing the questions that matter—what taste is, how it is related to subjectivity, what distinguishes good from bad taste, why it is valuable to make and evaluate judgments about matters of taste, and what, exactly, we mean in speaking about these matters. The essays in this volume open up new, intersecting lines of research about these questions that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. They address the notion of aesthetic taste; connections between taste and the natures of truth, disagreement, assertion, belief, retraction, linguistic context-sensitivity, and the semantics/pragmatics interface; experimental inquiry about taste; and metaphysical questions underlying ongoing discussions about taste. Perspectives on Taste will be of interest to researchers and advanced students working in aesthetics, philosophy of language, linguistics, metaphysics, and experimental philosophy.

This book was released on 2018-06-29 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, Internet and virtual reality communication is essentially audio-visual. The next important breakthrough of the Internet will be the communication and sharing of smell and taste experiences digitally. Audio-visual stimuli are frequency based, and they can be easily digitized and actuated. On the other hand, taste and smell stimuli are based on chemical molecules, therefore, they are not easy to digitize or actuate. To solve this problem, we are required to discover new digital actuation technologies for taste and smell. The authors of this book have experimented on developing digital actuation devices for several years. This book will provide a complete overview of the importance of digitizing taste and smell, prior works, proposed technologies by the authors, other state of the art research, advantages and limitations of the proposed methods, and future applications. We expect digital taste and smell technologies will revolutionize the field of multisensory augmented reality and open up new interaction possibilities in different disciplines such as Human Computer Interaction, Communication, and Augmented and Virtual Reality.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wine: Classification, Wine Tasting, Qualities, and Defects Wine is simply the juice or must of the grape after it has undergone the process of fermentation.* This may be considered as the most natural and exact definition that can be given of it. It is the definition accepted by the law. On account of the prevalence of Sophistications and the considerable amount of wine that is now made from dried grapes and other saccha rine fruits, a more particularized definition of wine is now given; it may be formulated as follows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Sense of Taste' is a treatise on the gustatory system by two Columbia University psychologists, H. L. Hollingworth and A. T. Poffenberger. The authors regarded the sense of taste to be in numerous ways the most paradoxical of all the senses. Although, as a source of sense impression, it can afford the keenest immediate feelings of pleasure and delight, the books on aesthetics and art have little or nothing to say about it. Skill in the compounding of tastes and flavors, or discrimination in their relish, brings the expert neither artistic recognition nor social eminence. Taste, it is constantly asserted, is one of the "lower senses," and neither in the enjoyment of it nor the ministration to it is there to be acquired the merit and general esteem that readily distinguish an art from a service.
