In 2021, Asthma and Allergy Foundation of American estimated that 2o million people in the US have one or more food allergies., most of which are adults. These 16 million people are potential customers for the restaurant industry. It is our responsibility to serve them safe food, but first we have to find a way to capture them and encourage them to take the risk by eating in a restaurant. Not only are people with food allergies at risk from the foods prepared in a restaurant but also the risk of cross contact as their food is being prepared or processed and served. It should never be assumed that cross contact is done intentionally, however, things do happen and managers and employees need to know how to react in any given situation.

This book will outline basic food allergy information, different training strategies and service sets that can be easily implemented into any size dining room to help minimize or eliminate cross contact and allergic reactions. In addition, it will have the steps necessary to initiate in case there a guest or employee has an allergic reaction while in the restaurant.

It is my hope that the reader/manager is able to take the information in the book and customize a plan that will truly fit their operation and that allergy training becomes an integral part of all new hire onboarding.

A gender studies textbook that takes an anthropological approach.

Gendered Lives takes a regional approach to examine gender issues from an anthropological perspective with a focus on globalization and intersectionality. Chapters present contributors’ ethnographic research, contextualizing their findings within four geographic regions: Latin America, the Caribbean, South Asia, and the Global North. Each regional section begins with an overview of the broader historical, social, and gendered contexts, which situate the regions within larger global linkages. These introductions also feature short project/people profiles that highlight the work of community leaders or non-governmental organizations active in gender-related issues. Each research-based chapter begins with a chapter overview and learning objectives and closes with discussion questions and resources for further exploration. This modular, regional approach allows instructors to select the regions and cases they want to use in their courses. While they can be used separately, the chapters are connected through the book’s central themes of globalization and intersectionality.

This Guide is meant to be the handbook for using Pressbooks effectively to produce books. Pressbooks is a simple tool, but it’s powerful too, and harnessing that power requires some learning.

This Guide should cover the basics of Pressbooks, including how to quickly get a book into Pressbooks and out the other end as a beautifully designed PDF (for print) or ebook (MOBI for Kindle, or EPUB for Apple, Kobo, Nook and others).

You will also find here resources for various features or special formatting, including how to place images, create footnotes, or put in pullquotes.

This textbook is ideal for an introductory level Human Biology course. It is aligned with the British Columbia Adult Basic Education learning outcomes for Provincial Level Biology, which is the equivalent of Grade 12 Anatomy and Physiology. This textbook begins with an introduction to sciences and the scientific method, and then addresses the human body in increasing scale: from biological molecules, to cells and tissues, to organs and all eleven organ systems; with an overarching focus on health. Each chapter begins and ends with a case study related to the chapter topic.  The text employs clear writing, case studies for each chapter, interactive self-marking study activities, highlights of Indigenous knowledge and examples, pop-up glossary, and links to resources for extending learning.  Images are meant to be inclusive and were chosen with equity/diversity/inclusion in mind.
