Synopsis

"Old Maritime Rules" masterfully explores the fascinating evolution of maritime laws and practices from ancient civilizations to their lasting impact on modern seafaring. The book reveals how the Phoenicians, as master sailors of the Mediterranean, established the first documented system of maritime protocols around 1200 BCE, creating foundational practices for navigation signals, weather prediction, and cargo handling that would influence centuries of maritime development.Through meticulous analysis of archaeological evidence, translated documents, and maritime artifacts, the book traces how these early maritime codes spread and evolved across different seafaring cultures. The narrative progresses from Phoenician innovations through Greek and Roman adaptations, culminating in the sophisticated Viking sea-laws that introduced advanced navigation techniques for northern waters.The author skillfully demonstrates how these ancient practices form the bedrock of contemporary international maritime law, supporting this connection with evidence from recovered ship logs, trading documents, and harbor regulations. The book stands out for its comprehensive integration of multiple disciplines, combining maritime archaeology, trade history, and modern naval operations to create a complete picture of ancient seafaring regulations.Using newly translated maritime documents and recent archaeological discoveries, it challenges previous assumptions about ancient maritime capabilities while providing practical insights for modern maritime operations. This approach makes the complex subject matter accessible to both scholars and general readers interested in the fascinating intersection of ancient history and modern maritime practices.

    A combination of travel memoir and epicurean adventure, Godforsaken Grapes is an entertaining love letter to wine.​ "Will make you curious and thirsty." (Eric Asimov, New York Times) 
      
    There are nearly 1,400 known varieties of wine grapes in the world—from altesse to zierfandler—but 80 percent of the wine we drink is made from only 20 grapes. In Godforsaken Grapes, award-winning travel writer Jason Wilson looks at how that came to be and embarks on a journey to discover what we miss. 
      
    Stemming from his own growing obsession, Jason Wilson moves far beyond the “noble grapes,” hunting down obscure and underappreciated wines from Switzerland, Austria, Portugal, France, Italy, the United States, and beyond. 
      
    In the process, he looks at why these wines fell out of favor (or never gained it in the first place), what it means to be obscure, and how geopolitics, economics, and fashion have changed what we drink.

    The author of acclaimed memoirs about life on a French olive farm explores the larger history and culture of the Mediterranean delicacy. Carol Drinkwater has a passion for olive trees and the fruit they bear—“bitter berries” that are transformed into savory delights and pressed into precious oil. Already intimately familiar with the fruit thanks to her olive farm in the South of France, she decided to travel throughout the Mediterranean basin—from Marseille to Malta, Israel to Tunisia—in a quest to learn about their ancient history, their spread throughout the world, and the tastes and traditions they represent. A culinary travelogue and a celebration of a humble, healthful food that inspires devotion among so many, The Olive Route is filled with unusual characters and fascinating anecdotes from “a storyteller of great economy and deftness” (The Telegraph). “Drinkwater has a sharp eye for character, and the people who populate The Olive Route will not disappoint her fans.” —The Independent

    Don't just see the sights―get to know the people. 
     
    Nestled in the Caucasus Mountains at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Georgia plays a geopolitical role far greater than its size would suggest. Its strategic location has been both a blessing and a curse, however. Once a battlefield of the Christian and Muslim worlds, today it is caught between its EU aspirations and its location in Russia’s backyard. 
    The ancient Silk Road brought the best of the world to Georgia, which has a rich and dramatic historical heritage, exquisite cuisine and world-renowned wines, authentic folk music and dances, and an educated and hospitable people for whom indulging a guest is more akin to a religious practice than a simple duty. 
    This new edition of Culture Smart! Georgia guides you through the past and present realities of this unique country, and offers practical insights into the customs, values, traditions, and daily life of its people. Visitors who immerse themselves in Georgian culture will find the experience deeply rewarding, and that the welcome of those they meet along the way will far exceed their expectations. 
     
    Have a more meaningful and successful time abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.
