Comparative Government and Politics
Dino Bozonelos · Victor Valley College
This textbook aligns with the C-ID Course Descriptor for Introduction to Comparative Government and Politics in content and objectives. It is organized thematically, with each chapter accompanied by a case study or a comparative study, one of the main methodological tools used in comparative politics. By contextualizing the concepts, we hope to help students learn the comparative method, which to this day remains one of the most important methodological tools for all researchers.

Meat Identification and Fabrication
Marshall Welsh & William R. Thibodeaux · Finch Henry Job Corps Center & Nicholls State University
This text offers you the opportunity to learn how nature made the domesticated and wild animals for us to harvest, fabricate, and prepare for table service. Along the way, we will explore their physiology and muscle composition as we learn how to divide them into primal, sub primal and usable cuts. The goal is to gain a working knowledge about the proteins we use in our profession and to learn how to make sub primals ready for guest service and the proper cooking methods for particular cuts.
