Synopsis

Wine Making Regions explores the pivotal role of terroir – the unique interplay of soil, climate, and topography – in shaping the distinctive characteristics of wines around the world. It examines how terroir influences viticulture and wine production, from renowned European regions like Burgundy and Bordeaux to the emerging wine territories of Napa Valley and Australia. The book reveals how this intricate combination dictates the flavor profiles of regional wines, demonstrating why a Chardonnay from one region differs significantly from another, even with similar winemaking techniques.

 
The book is structured in three parts, beginning with an introduction to the concept of terroir and its components. It continues with a tour of key wine regions, analyzing how their specific terroir influences dominant wine styles, and concludes by synthesizing the findings and discussing challenges like climate change. By integrating geological surveys, historical records, and insights from winemakers, Wine Making Regions provides a comprehensive understanding of how wine, place, and culture are intrinsically linked.

The Holy Lands of the Bible

We are currently witnessing yet another war in the Middle East. Conflicts in this region between various groups have been ongoing for thousands of years. At one time there was even a Mongol army here. At various times the same groups have been fighting each other for centuries. With this background, how can this land be called "holy"?

       The people of Israel were chosen by God to prepare the way for the coming of the world's redeemer, Jesus, and it is Jesus who makes the land holy. This also includes other lands associated with the Bible: Egypt, Jordan, Turkey and Greece – and indeed extends to the whole world. I was privileged to have spent a significant amount of time in these lands, but realised that this involved an obligation to share.

       This book is a record of my time in these countries in an attempt to share some insights and help in making these lands of the Bible stories come alive, thus enhancing our understanding of the Bible and Jesus. It may also be useful for those who are planning to make a pilgrimage to these lands.

       Maybe it is no accident that these holy lands attract so much evil. Yet Jesus came to bring healing, forgiveness and peace.

The conditions of travel have long been dictated by the color of passports and the color of skin. 
 
 
 
The color of one's skin and passport have long dictated the conditions of travel.  For Shahnaz Habib, travel and travel writing have always been complicated pleasures. Habib threads the history of travel with her personal story as a child on family vacations in India, an adult curious about the world, and an immigrant for whom roundtrips are an annual fact of life. Tracing the power dynamics that underlie tourism, this insightful debut parses who gets to travel, and who gets to write about the experience. 
 
 
 
Threaded through the book are inviting and playful analyses of obvious and not-so-obvious travel artifacts: passports, carousels, bougainvilleas, guidebooks, trains, the idea of wanderlust itself. Together, they tell a subversive history of travel as a Euro-American mode of consumerism—but as any traveler knows, travel is more than that. As an immigrant whose loved ones live across continents, Habib takes a deeply curious and joyful look at a troubled and beloved activity.
