Summary

Vine Pruning Work explores the time-honored traditions of grapevine cultivation, focusing on the intricate art of vine pruning and the crucial role of family labor in vineyards. It argues that these practices, often more attuned to the land's needs than industrial approaches, are vital for maintaining biodiversity and cultural heritage. The book reveals how traditional pruning methods, fine-tuned over generations, directly impact the vine's health, productivity, and longevity, while family-based operations form the backbone of many vineyards, especially where tradition remains strong.

 
The book examines the evolution of pruning techniques across different eras and regions, while exploring the social dynamics within families dedicated to vineyard work. Structured in three parts, it first introduces the principles of grapevine pruning, then examines the role of family labor through case studies, and finally analyzes the sustainability of traditional viticulture.

 
By blending horticultural knowledge with social and historical analysis, Vine Pruning Work offers a unique perspective, treating pruning as a cultural practice deeply embedded in family traditions and local ecosystems, making it valuable for viticulture students, wine enthusiasts, and anyone interested in sustainable agriculture.

    From author, culinary expert, and Top Chef judge Gail Simmons comes a fun, informative, and trailblazing guide to a rarely-explored side of hospitality: how to be a great guest.Countless influential voices have written books about hosting, offering tips for what to cook, how to set the perfect table, mix the best drinks and create the most welcoming vibes. But hospitality, by definition, involves at least two people; where is the advice for guests?Culinary expert and perennial Top Chef judge Gail Simmons is something of a professional on the subject. As a tastemaker and lifestyle authority, she is invited to countless social events running the gamut from world-class fine dining and international affairs to neighborhood potlucks. Through it all, she knows that for any gathering to be a success, guests must rise to the occasion and actively embrace their role.In Guesting, Gail unpacks the reciprocal nature of this relationship and explores the sometimes-tricky choreography that governs its dance. She also shares her essential tenets of guesting, and proven strategies for navigating any social situation (yes, even assigned seating). From dinner parties to weddings, religious observances to restaurants, Guesting guides readers through all types of “get-togethers” with confidence and grace. It also connects the vital role guesting plays in our wellbeing and the integrity of our collective culture, at a moment when technology and the temptation for short-term comfort have diminished our inherent need to create—and maintain—human relationships.And since any good guest knows that bringing something to the table is always the right move, Gail shares ideas and recipes for thoughtful store-bought contributions, homemade food gifts, and favorite dishes to share with a crowd. Whether you’re visiting an old friend, going out for dinner, or attending a milestone celebration, Gail has the answers and inspiration to help you become the consummate guest.

    Humans have a strange idea that they look after their dogs, when the truth is quite different: we actually look after them! And as life becomes more and more stressful for humans, they need more and more looking after. In this book we give other dogs – and their humans - a few tips about how best to do this. 
    At last a book that will help me deal with the humans in my life! For many years I have believed that I have so much wisdom that could be shared with my’'owners’ but I just never knew how to teach them. Now I have just the guidance I need! Thank you for this book, which I think will bring new harmony and happiness into our household. Milo the dog. 
    A fun and heart-warming read from a convincingly dog's-eye view, which also imparts some valuable information on how both sides can keep each other happy while showing who’s boss (ha ha!). I recommend this book as a present for all dog lovers. Liz Jones.

    I first read this little book when I was in the fifth grade, and now more than fifty years later, I still find it fascinating. Ernest Thompson Seton was a man with a concern for nature her creatures and an excellent story teller. I could almost feel Wahb, the great grizzly’s pain and frustration as he tried to avoid contact with humans and just be left alone to carry out his bear business. Listening to this audio book will be an hour and a half well spent. Summary by Mike Vendetti, Narrator.

    This is the story of Ben the useless Border Collie! Well that's what his first owner Gwyn Thomas thought. The sheep farmer had suffered a mental breakdown at the time. He had lost his wife in a terrible accident, causing him to almost lose his mind! His daughter Belle had also been involved in the tragedy, having her arm so badly injured it had had to be removed. Ben had been her pet, but he was also supposed to be a sheep dog, helping his mum Floss to take care of the large flock. Unfortunately, Ben had been born with a weak back leg, making it almost impossible for him to control the sheep. He was ok on a straight run, but when it came to turning round his leg let him down, causing the poor dog to fall over. It always upset him, but there was nothing he could do to alter the situation try as he might. This heartwarming tale is full of danger and love, it tells of many hair-raising happenings. 
    Read about Ben's mum Floss, and Nellie the Golden Labrador, and Peggy Owen who are all so important in the telling of this lovely tale. They are definitely the loves of this Collie's life! 
    Please read and enjoy the riveting, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, heart warming adventure 'To Lead Us Home.'
