Burger Lab examines the elements that make up the ultimate burger: the perfect squishy bun; a pickle that has just the right amount of tang and crunch; the exact quantity of mayo and ketchup to deliver maximum flavor without over- powering the burger; and the ultimate pattie that's meaty, juicy and umami- intense. It is a science to get all the elements perfect, but in this unique cookbook Daniel Wilson shows us how to get the chemistry exactly right. The modern-day junk food is elevated to the sublime by Daniel Wilson's cheffy sensibilities; Burger Lab will change everything you thought you knew about burgers and arm you with everything you'll need to know to make cult-worthy burgers at home. Mouth-watering constructions include a Wagyu cheeseburger deluxe, a Fried chicken burger with slaw, a Reuben burger with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, thousand island on a rye bun, a BBQ pulled pork bun with pickles and more, plus recipes for condiments, chips and milkshakes to wash it all down. The book's unexpected and fun design, with close-up cross- sections of burgers, illustrative elements throughout and even including an amazing pop-out burger illustration on the endpapers make this the most exciting burger book ever!

Fifty years after The Andromeda Strain made Michael Crichton a household name - and spawned a new genre, the technothriller - the threat returns, in a gripping sequel that is terrifyingly realistic and resonant.

Fifty years after the original crisis, a gripping sequel unfolds as a terrifying threat re-emerges. In 1967, an extraterrestrial microbe, known as The Andromeda Strain, nearly wiped out humanity, leaving only an elderly man and an infant boy alive in Piedmont, Arizona. A dedicated team of scientists from Project Wildfire managed to avert disaster just before a nuclear detonation. Over the decades, research continued, and the world believed it was safe. However, deep within Fairchild Air Force Base, Project Eternal Vigilance has been monitoring for any signs of the microbe's return. Just as the project faces shutdown, a Brazilian drone uncovers a bizarre anomaly in the jungle, revealing the tell-tale chemical signature of the deadly microparticle. This prompts the activation of a new Project Wildfire, sending a diverse team of global experts to investigate the potential apocalypse. As they race against time, the microbe begins to evolve. If the team fails to reach the quarantine zone and understand the anomaly, this new evolution of the Andromeda Strain could lead to the annihilation of all life on Earth.
