Review Open air grape culture: A practical treatise on the garden and vineyard culture of the vine, and the manufacture of domestic wine / C.M. Saxton:PREFACE. Im following work has been undertaken, not so much in the hope of adding anything new to what h already known of the culture of the vine, as with a view to colIect the scattered information which exists on the subject in periodicals and kindred works as well as amongst practical men, and to throw it into such a shape as may prove useful to the amateur and the vinedresser. This being our object, we have endeavored to modify and adapt the practice and principles of others to our own climate and wants, and to simplify and explain the processes of the profeessional gardener so that he who reads may practice. To this end we have in general avoided theoretical discussions, and have depended chiefly upon the practice of ourselves and others for the directions here laid down. For although we know that well established principles are the only sure foundation of all right practice, this is not the place for discussing the theoretical grounds upon which these principles rest. A practical work should deal with facts and be a guide to action. As the garden culture of the vine, at least in the northern States, differs from that in the vineyard only in the more thorough preparation of the ground and the larger size of the plants, we have not formally divided the o r iknt o sections corresponding to these two classes, as the principles which govern both are precisely alike. Where, however, some peculiar details of management apply to either we have inserted them in the section to which t. hey properly belong-as under the subject of VINE BORDERS and CARE OF OLD VINES. A full account of the Ohio vineyards is given in the Appendix, amongst other examples of American practice, and the peculiar principles which regulate the management of grapes devoted to the production of wine will be found in their appropriate place, riz. [+], in the second part of this work, which is specially devoted to that subject. The varieties of the vine have multiplied so rapidly of late, thnt it would be impossible to give a coinplete list even of those which have been brought out. Seeing then that at best our work must be incomplete in this respect, we have described those only which have been thoroughly proved and rmom mended by some well known society or cultivator. Of the two or three hundred varieties of American grapes of which names are to be found, probably not more than one in ten ham. been tested in 1ocalit iw diEering greatly from the place of their origin. In the execution of our work, we believe that where we have had occasion to make use of the labors of others, due credit has always been given and we have also added a list of tliose books which we have most freely consulted, so that those who desire to make the culture of the grape. a specialty may be directed to original wurce. s of information. That the culture of the grape will ere long attain a position of which its present condition atiords little idea, we have no doubt.

Review Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World / Diane Pub Co:Uncommon Grounds tells the story of coffee from its discovery on a hill in Abyssinia to its role in intrigue in the American colonies to its rise as a national consumer product in the twentieth century and its rediscovery with the advent of Starbucks at the end of the century. A panoramic epic, Uncommon Grounds uses coffee production, trade, and consumption as a window through which to view broad historical themes: the clash and blending of cultures, the rise of marketing and the “national brand,” assembly line mass production, and urbanization. Coffeehouses have provided places to plan revolutions, write poetry, do business, and meet friends. The coffee industry has dominated and molded the economy, politics, and social structure of entire countries. Mark Pendergrast introduces the reader to an eccentric cast of characters, all of them with a passion for the golden bean. Uncommon Grounds is nothing less than a coffee-flavored history of the world. Since its discovery in an Ethiopian rainforest centuries ago, coffee has brewed up a rich and troubled history, according to Uncommon Grounds, a sweeping book by business writer Mark Pendergrast. Over the years, the beverage has fomented revolution, spurred deforestation, enriched a few while impoverishing the many, and addicted millions with its psychoactive caffeine. Coffee is now the world's second most valuable legal commodity, behind oil, according to Pendergrast, who is also author of For God, Country, and Coca-Cola. "A good cup of coffee can turn the worst day tolerable, can provide an all-important moment of contemplation, can rekindle a romance," he writes. [+]"And yet, poetic as its taste may be, coffee's history is rife with controversy and politics. " For example, coffee bankrolled Idi Amin's genocidal regime in Uganda and the Sandinistas' revolution in Nicaragua. Uncommon Grounds provides some fascinating tidbits. Did you know that coffeehouses helped spawn the French and American revolutions? Or that coffee supplanted alcohol as a favorite breakfast drink in Britain in the late 1600s, and later became a patriotic American beverage after the Boston Tea Party? Pendergrast also details the rise and fall of regional coffee brands in the United States, the role of advertising in the industry, the global economic impact of coffee prices, and the recent emergence of specialty-coffee retailers-Starbucks, for example. Finally, he explores the social and environmental ramifications of coffee and highlights recent attempts to encourage a livable wage and environmental protection in coffee-producing nations such as Brazil. Pendergrast also includes an appendix on "how to brew the perfect cup. " This wide-ranging book is a good read for those curious about the history and context behind that morning cup of coffee, as well as for those strictly interested in the business side of the industry. -Dan Ring.
