Review Wineries of Michigan: A Guide to the Wineries & Vineyards of Michigan (Wines and Wineries) / Insurance Publishing Plus:

Wineries of Michigan is a detailed guide, a trip between home and even the closest Michigan winery becomes an adventure of discovery. Want to visit several wineries in a single day? Detailed maps and explicit driving directions from one winery to the next will effortlessly guide you. However, the real pleasure of Wineries of Michigan is learning the inside story of each of the 21 wineries based on personal visits by Tadevich, not from literature provided by the wineries. Tadevich shares fascinating and quirky details about each establishment, highlighting special aspects about each place and introducing readers to winemakers. Tadevich also suggests which wines to try from each vintner and what your palate should be experiencing when you try each delectable wine. Community pages are at the end of each tour highlighting restaurants, bed and breakfasts, hotels and various activities in each winery's local area complete with the addresses, phone numbers and sometimes even web sites. Color maps and photographs make the book all the more appealing and easy to use. Wineries of Michigan is Tadevich's second book in a planned series of state-focused winery guidebooks. Soon to come to bookstores are A Travel Companion to Lake Erie Wineries and A Travel Companion to Oregon Wineries.

Review Tea / Springer:

This follow-up to the book "Coffee" (also edited by Drs Willson and Clifford) looks at the tea crop from a multi-discplinary standpoint. As well as investigation the crop, its history, botany, cultivation and production, it also addresses the importance and production of the major tea varieties used as beverages, and looks at the clinical and physiological effects of tea consumption. The economics of, and world trade in, tea are also highlighted using many tables and figures which demonstrate the distribution in supply and demand of this most important crop. Each chapter has been written by an international expert and the whole has been drawn together to provide a book which should be of interest to a wide range of people concerned with all aspects of this crop, including plant scientists, agronomists and food scientists.

Review Appreciating Whisky: The Connoisseur's Guide to Nosing, Tasting, and Enjoying Scotch / HarperCollins UK:

As with fine wines, there is a social cachet in being able to "appreciate" a good Scotch. But how exactly do you learn this skill? This illustrated book offers the reader detailed, structured tuition on how to develop his or her palate for whisky. Readers are taken on a detailed tour of how whisky is produced, what each of its constituents and each of the stages of its manufacture bring to the final product. With this grounding, they are then introduced to the various chemical processes at work during distillation and maturation that give each whisky its distinct characteristics. Using specific popular whiskies which readers are encouraged to have to hand as they work through the book, they are taught how to recognise what it is they are tasting and smelling, and how to describe this in the language of the experts. Armed with this knowledge, readers should ultimately be able to develop their own informed impressions of the whisky they drink, rather than receive them second-hand from books.

Review Lares et Penates or the Home of the Future Lucullus the Food of the Future Narcissus, an Anatomy of Clothes Bacchus or Wine To-day and To-morrow: Today and Tomorrow Volume Five (Today and Tomorrow) / Routledge:

"Volume 5: Lares et Penates, or the Home of the Future" by H J Birnstingl was originally published in 1928. 'very careful summary' - "Times Literary Supplement". '!his book undoubtedly gives a better understanding of the subject than any other!' - "Saturday Review". This volume considers the labour-saving movement, the ideal house, the influence of women, the "servant problem" and the relegation of aesthetic considerations to the background. "Lucullus, or the Food of the Future" by Olgar Hartley and C F Leyel was originally published in 1926. '!a clever and witty little volume' - "Times Literary Supplement". 'Opens with a brilliant picture of modern man, living in a vacuum-cleaned, steam-heated, credit-furnished suburban mansion with the wolf of hunger in his basement!' - "Spectator". As relevant today as it was when first published this volume examines the issues of feeding an increasing world population, food miles, organic food and vegetarianism, among other things. "Narcissus, an Anatomy of Clothes" by Gerald Heard was originally published in 1924. '!an interesting tour-de-force' - "Time Magazine". [+]
'In this pioneering study, full of unexpected insights, Gerald Heard shows that in clothes we are still witnessing creation at work' - William H. Forthman. 'Narcissus contains the germs of many of the ideas developed at much greater length by Heard' - Edmund Opitz. 'A brilliant book' - Horace Plunkett. In his first book, Heard weaves an absorbing historical narrative around the corresponding development of clothing and architecture. Along the way he introduces his seminal, revolutionary ideas on evolution, guaranteed to turn Darwin's world upside down. He declares, "Clothes were more important than was allowed," noting, "It will become evident everywhere that we can trace in detail the connection of clothes and building, that change takes place first in the outer and so passes to the inner. " Gerald Heard's unique survey stands the test of time as a fascinating work of originality and insight. "Bacchus or wine to-day and To-morrow" by P Morton Shand was originally published in 1927. 'An entrancing little volume' - Brewer and Wine Merchant. 'Very sound sense' - "Times Literary Supplement". This volume discusses different aspects of viticulture: types of wines, the future of Empire wines, vine disease as well as social and political issues associated with alcohol consumption and predicts a time when wine will be considered as a food essential to moral and physical well-being, rather than a dangerous artificial stimulant.

Review Absinthe Sip of Seduction: A Contemporary Guide / Speck Press:

Take an intimate look into the contemporary world of absinthe. International in scope, Absinthe: Sip of Seduction is a visually rich journey into an alluring subculture. Punctuated with color reproductions of classic and current lithographs, posters, postcards, cartoons, antiques, glassware, bottles, and other tools of the absinthe drinker, this new and thorough study explains and illustrates the history, culture, and mystique of the drink known as the Green Fairy. Absinthe bars have popped up all over the globe in recent years. Festivals in Switzerland and France celebrate the many distilleries and varieties of absinthe available on the market today. Museums, films, collectors, and -reviews of existing brands all set this title apart from the historically based volumes currently on the English language market. Absinthe: Sip of Seduction explores absinthe's contemporary absinthe and ritual. The focus is unique; in addition to the customary glimpses of history, the authors provide insights into the controversy and effects of the Green Fairy through the stories of famous connoisseurs such as Vincent Van Gogh, Oscar Wilde, Ernest Hemingway, and Pablo Picasso. However, consumption and enjoyment of absinthe is not just relegated to history; contemporary drinkers include Johnny Depp and Marilyn Manson. Explained are sipping instructions, variations including French, Czech, and German methods, cocktail and drink recipes, and even suggestions for culinary accompaniments. [+]
Confirmed absinthe drinkers, neophytes, the curious, and collectors will all find this book equally intriguing and seductive.
