ELEMENTARY GLOSSARY OF CULINARY BIO-ETHICAL TERMS

This deluxe reissue of Professor (the Dr) Threadbone's pioneering work written during his tenure at The Technical College of Danang, returns to the scholarly community the work which not only made Professor Thrupiece a household name, but did much to establish the discipline of Culinary Bio-ethics in the great universities of the world.  Though over 50 years old, the volume is as relevant as ever to disciplinary practitioners as well as an invaluable historical document.

Featuring a foreword by Mrs Amanda J Threadbone, the present edition places alongside a facsimile of the 1964 edition photographs of the original manuscript allowing us to glimpse as never before the creative process in which the late great Professor was engaged.

PROFESSOR THRUPIECE AND THE SPACE RACE

The definitive account of the US/USSR rivalry in the conquest of space in the 1960s and 1970s and of Professor Thrupiece's seminal role in it.  Meticulously researched this lavishly illustrated account (containing many photographs never before seen) begins with Professor Thrupiece's prodigious early researches in Batcombe and proceeds through his recruitment to vital positions in both side's space programmes, culminating in a thrilling account of the triumph of the lunar landing.  A short afterword brings us up to date on post-lunar developments, including the Professor's hitherto unacknowledged role in the development of the space shuttle.

Please note this new Paper is NOT available as part of the Complete Thrupiece Papers published in 2016 and those wishing to read it will have to purchase it separately.

A CAN OF WORMS: THE LATE THRUPIECE DIARIES VOLUME 8 edited by MRS EDNA WHISKY MCNIGHTLY

The latest volume in what is proving to be one of the great publishing projects of the decade brings us to the period November 2003 - January 2004: in retrospect one of the most significant in the Professor's life.  Here, in the pithy prose style to which we have become accustomed we meet many of those close to the Professor (including for the first time a mysterious S) and witness first hand his struggles - ethical, scientific and physical - with the challenges later life threw his way.  At once insightful and moving "A Can of Worms" will be warmly welcomed by those who have read the previous volumes in this epic series and will win many new readers for the man increasingly recognised "as the major diarist of our era"

 

Carefully edited by Mrs Edna Whisky McNightly under the General Editorship of Audrey Badminton-Court and with a Foreword by Professor Simon Nosebag-Malapense, the volume is published on 20th May 2017.

THEY ALSO SERVE WHO ONLY GATHER FLUFF: THE COLLECTED WITTICISMS OF PROFESSOR BRIAN THRUPIECE edited by MRS AMANDA J THREADBONE

Renowned throughout his lifetime for his free-flowing wit, Professor Thrupiece has been variously described as "The Oscar Wilde (Heterosexual) of the Scientific World" and the "Les Dawson of the Laboratory".  Wry, dry, witty, sardonic and acerbic, the Professor's fertile mind could find humour in almost anything and any situation.

 

Gathering together aphorisms, witticisms and bon mots recalled by those who knew him best, Mrs Amanda J Threadbone has produced a concise cornucopia of good humour and a book which can be read from the sitting room to the smallest room with pleasure and profit.

PROFESSOR THRUPIECE: THE IBIZA YEARS

Readers of earlier papers in this prize-winning series will need no reminding of Professor Thrupiece’s pioneering visits to the Soviet Union, Cuba, the USA, East Germany, Switzerland and Bradford Abbas.  Few will know, however, of his many “escapes” to the magical Balearic island of Ibiza or of his work in establishing that small bejewelled place in the hearts of fun-loving peace-seekers and wasted entertainment junkies worldwide.  Finding a sleepy Eden unchanged since Christopher Columbus’s days on the island, the Professor brought his consummate conservationist credentials and strong ethical instincts to bear on its development and left it a playground for the helpless, the hopeless, the hapless and the seriously deranged.
