Summary

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.

    Offering a fresh twist on Kris Kringle, a clever yet heartfelt audiobook that tells the story of a black Santa, his white husband, and their life in the North Pole. 
Everyone knows that Santa Claus is jolly, but in Santa’s Husband, this cherished symbol of the holiday season is also black and gay, and married to an equally cheery man. 
In this witty and sweet illustrated Christmas tale, humor writer Daniel Kibblesmith introduces us to Mr. and Mr. Claus, and gives us a glimpse of their lives together. We see the Clauses sitting by the fire at their cozy North Pole home, vacationing at the beach, having an occasional disagreement, celebrating their wedding day, and comforting each other when some loudmouth people on television angrily dispute Santa’s appearance and lifestyle. 
In the weeks before Christmas, Santa’s husband helps with all the pre-Christmas work, from double-checking lists, to feeding the reindeer (organic gluten-free grains, of course), to negotiating labor disputes with the restive workshop elves. At the height of toy-making season, he even fills in for his busy hubby at the mall to ensure every child can meet the Big Guy in the red suit, and give him their wish list. 
As this charming audiobook reminds us, Santa Claus can come in all shapes and colors and sizes—just like the children and families he visits all over the world each Christmas eve. 
Santa’s Husband is a delightful gift for listeners of all ages.

    This is the true story of a woman who discovered a fascinating new way of living, refreshingly different to the rat race she had become trapped in. This new world was full of machoism, sexism and a complete lack of political correctness. Brizo entered a world where she was constantly surprised that being her filthy and inappropriate self was instantly accepted and even welcomed. She had glided into the world of sailing. The rough and rugged unkempt sailor types kept her dripping wet both in and out of the water. While Brizo was frustrated with the sexism that exists on deck, she was pleasantly surprised to discover that women are respected for taking charge down below. She found herself in a world where women were given credit for having many lovers and for being assertive in the bedroom. I suppose when the ratio of men is so much higher than that of women, a sailor is grateful he's secured a mermaid on his hook.

    A wickedly funny, full-color, illustrated sendup of the trendy lifestyle publication GOOP. 
What is Glop? 
Glop is a business and a website. But Glop is also a feeling. It’s about picking the right expensive organic eye cream that will make you fit seamlessly into the top tiers of high society and sits next to Bono at a 42-course seitan tasting dinner held in a sex dungeon deep beneath the North Pole. Glop is about being conscious to the tiny details of our lives—what to eat, where to buy your cashmere yoga pants, which juice cleanse will remove the most mercury toxins from both your body and your cashmere yoga pants. Glop is about you. 
In this scathingly humorous parody, Gabrielle Moss skewers the vanity, elitism, and silliness of the lifestyle website everyone loves to hate. Here are favorite recipes, detoxes, activities, cleanses, beauty tips, juice cleanses, vacation destinations, and a selection of hand creams that will open your third eye—plus lots of celebrity namedropping and more.  
Glop includes everything from the silly to sublime—make-at-home stem cell moisturizing repair masques, weekend colonics, restorative yoga poses (for when Sting is mad at you about that thing you did), and even the freshest bones for your bone broth. Here, too, are G’s essential tips on parenthood, relationships, work and finances, entertaining, food (well, maybe not food), spirituality, beauty, fashion, home, gifts, kids, and more. Nothing in Glop is sacred—except for a few Indian cows you can’t afford.

    Two great parks. One larger journey.

Yellowstone and Grand Teton are often visited together, but they should not be experienced as interchangeable halves of one itinerary. One opens through fault-block mountains, lakes, river valley, and sudden vertical scale. The other expands into volcanic plateau, thermal basins, broad wildlife country, canyon, and immense distance.

William Stanek's Yellowstone & Grand Teton is about the relationship between them.

The guide helps readers understand the Jackson Hole threshold, central Teton country, the northern handoff, the parkway between the parks, Yellowstone's southern lake world, thermal country, canyon, valleys, and long northern range-and, equally important, what the transition between them changes.

This is regional travel writing with real field intelligence: basecamp choices, transition cost, weather, wildlife, road rhythm, walking, photography, and humane trip shapes.

For travelers planning both parks, it provides something two separate guidebooks cannot: the journey itself.

    Yellowstone does not reward hurry. It rewards attention.

This guide is for travelers who want more than a checklist of famous sights. It reveals Yellowstone as a connected world of fire, water, wildlife, weather, distance, and human judgmentâ€"from Mammoth and Norris to Canyon Country, Old Faithful, Lamar Valley, Hayden Valley, and Yellowstone Lake.

Literary without losing usefulness, William Stanek's Yellowstone helps readers understand what they are seeing and why one district behaves differently from another. It brings together enduring geography, geology, wildlife intelligence, walking reality, lodge and basecamp strategy, photography as a way of seeing, quieter travel, and humane ways to shape one-, two-, and three-day visits.

This is not a disposable annual guide. It is a Yellowstone companion built around what lasts: place, proportion, attention, and memory.

For first-time visitors, return travelers, families, couples, solo explorers, walkers, and photographers who want Yellowstone to become more than a collection of stops.

See deeply. Travel well. Remember more.
