This is a cook book with a difference. It takes the toastie: staple, lunchtime marvel and perfect all-rounder, and makes it epic. Not with complicated processes or expensive kit, but with good components, solid technique and a diagram, because assembly matters. You don't just fling everything into a garage and hope a car drops out the end, so why would you attempt it with a sandwich? Barny Luxmoore has been crafting and serving toasties for 10 years now while running street food truck The Jabberwocky. During this time he has won heaps of awards (including Best Toasted Sandwich at the 2015 Café Life awards and best Sandwich at the 2020 Sandwich Awards) and has successfully made a living doing what he loves best: making toasties and serving them to people. When the festival season was unexpectedly wiped out by an intrusive and unwelcome virus in 2020, it seemed like a good time to finally put all those recipes on paper and share them with the world. This book is two slices of street food soul (buttered on the outside - pro tip). It is not just a great gift for the toastie-lover in your life; it's also supporting a micro business whose livelihood has been pounded by the pandemic. It will make your life more delicious; your toastie machine more appreciated and brings you a step closer to oozy cheese nirvana.

Sandwich panels are being used increasingly as the cladding of buildings like factories, warehouses, cold stores and retail sheds. This is because they are light in weight, thermally efficient, aesthetically attractive and can be easily handled and erected. However, to date, an authoritative book on the subject was lacking. This new reference work aims to fill that gap. The designer, specifier and manufacturer of sandwich panels all require a great deal of information on a wide range of subjects. This book was written by a group of European experts under the editorship of a UK specialist in lightweight construction. It provides guidance on: * materials used in manufacture * thermal efficiency and air- and water-tightness * acoustic performance * performance in fire * durability * special problems of sandwich panels in cold stores and chill rooms * architectural and aesthetic considerations * structural design at the ultimate and serviceability limit states * additional structural considerations including fastenings, the effect of openings and the use of sandwich panels as load-bearing walls * test procedures The book concludes with some numerical design examples and is highly illustrated throughout.

This comprehensive single volume handbook covers every aspect of reinforcement science, from hands-on subjects, such as manual 'lay-up' processing, to theoretical discussions concerning rheology and modeling. Taken from the recently published six volume International Encyclopedia of Composites, this reference volume offers scholarly and practical knowledge of distinguished industry-experts, academics, and government researchers in one accessible and informative handbook.
