  Wine Wars II - The Global Battle...

  Globalization has pushed back the borders of the wine world, creating a complex, interconnected market where Old World and New World wines and producers compete head to head. Writing with wit and verve, Mike Veseth (a.k.a. the Wine Economist) tells the compelling story of the war between the market forces that are redrawing the world wine map and the terroirists who resist them. 
   
   
   
  Wine Wars II begins by exploring wine globalization, where listeners follow "Missionaries, Migrants, and Market Reforms" to faraway New Zealand and learn how to unlock the secrets of their local retail "Wine Wall" by mastering the "DaVino Code." Globalization brings a world of wine to our doorsteps. Commodification helps us make sense of the resulting embarrassment of riches, but at a cost. Listeners must decide if they are Martians or Wagnerians, consider why "They Always Buy the Ten Cent Wine," and then probe the puzzle of "Outlaws, Prisoners, and the Great Escape." 
   
   
   
  Who stands in the way of the global wine market's assault on wine's very soul? Resistance is not futile, but that doesn't mean the future of wine is secure. A final section explores "Wine's Triple Crisis," environmental crisis, plus economic crisis, plus identity crisis. Taken together these crises pose the most serious threat to wine as we know and love it.

  The perfect gift book for Guinness lovers, served here.
  How did a beer from Dublin become a globally renowned symbol of Ireland?
  In 1759, Arthur Guinness left behind his family's small brewery in County Kildare to seek his fortunes in Dublin. After acquiring the ill-equipped St James' Gate brewery, he soon began to produce the Guinness stout that has become world famous.
  Rory Guinness, a direct descendant of the brewery's founder, has written the insider's guide to the world of Guinness. He surveys the family history, the unique brewing process, the brewery's distinctive industrial architecture and the beer's legendary advertising, revealing how Guinness and its people became interwoven into the fabric of Dublin life and created a brewing legacy that stretches around the world.
  This is also the story of a remarkable resurgence, because Guinness is now the bestselling beer in the UK, while Guinness Zero is reaching new markets. It is the official beer of the English Premier League, and a long-term partner of rugby's men's and women's Six Nations Championship.
  World of Guinness is a revised, expanded and redesigned edition of Rory Guinness's classic short introduction, illustrated with archival images, new photography of the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin and a selection of Guinness's witty advertisements. It is published in hardback for the first time and makes a perfect gift.

  What we learn when an anthropologist and a historian talk about food. 
   
   
    
  From the origins of agriculture to contemporary debates over culinary authenticity, Ways of Eating introduces listeners to world food history and food anthropology. Through engaging stories and historical deep dives, Benjamin A. Wurgaft and Merry I. White offer new ways to understand food in relation to its natural and cultural histories and the social rules that shape our meals. 
   
   
    
  Wurgaft and White use vivid storytelling to bring food practices to life, weaving stories of Panamanian coffee growers, medieval women beer makers, and Japanese knife forgers. From the Venetian spice trade to the Columbian Exchange, from Roman garum to Vietnamese nuoc cham, Ways of Eating provides an absorbing account of world food history and anthropology. Migration, politics, and the dynamics of group identity all shape what we eat, and we can learn to trace these social forces from the plate to the kitchen, the factory, and the field.

  Planting Seeds In Your Body -...

  "Which seeds will you be eating first? There are so many to choose from! Seeds have been and continue to be some of the most nutrient-dense foods available. They serve a variety of purposes, improve your health, and make a tasty addition to any meal. Seeds are high in fiber, low in sugar, contain essential fatty acids, protein, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. All of these work together to boost your cardiovascular health, manage blood sugar levels, improve cellular health, and aid digestion. Some of these seeds contain high amounts of specific nutrients that serve other purposes such as increasing fertility or preventing cancers. With so many benefits in a spoonful of seeds, adding them to your diet shouldn’t be a question at all. As with any food, seeds can cause adverse reactions. Use the information in this book to understand what could happen, and always talk to a medical professional if you are uncertain about whether adding seeds to your diet is right for you. Introducing any new food to your body takes time, so don’t rush into eating a bunch of seeds on day one. This will only cause digestive discomfort and might put you off using seeds in the future. It is much better to introduce one type of seed at a time, and only consume a small amount (about a teaspoon) for several days before you build up to larger daily amounts. If you do want to get the benefit from multiple seeds, then purchase a mixed bag, and add them to your diet."
