  This book examines controversies in American wine culture and how those controversies intersect with and illuminate current academic and cultural debates about the environment and about interpretation. 
   
   
   
  With a specific focus on the United States of America, the methods that we use to discuss literature and other art are applied to wine-making and wine culture. The book explores the debates about how to evaluate wine and the problems inherent in numerical scoring as well as evaluative tasting notes, whether winemakers can be artists, the discourse in wine culture involving natural wine and biodynamic farming, as well as how people judge what makes a wine great. These interpretative commitments illuminate an underlying metaphysics and allegiance to a culture of reason or feeling. The discussions engage with a broad range of writers and thinkers, such as Roland Barthes, Susan Sontag, Louis Menand, Michael Pollan, Greg Garrard, John Guillory, Amitov Ghosh, Pierre Bourdieu, and Barbara Herrnstein-Smith. The book draws upon not only a number of texts produced by wine critics, wine writers, literary critics, and theorists but also extensive interviews with wine writers and multiple California winemakers. These interviews contribute to a unique reflection on wine and meaning.

  The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Know About Nature is Wrong is the eighth paradigm-jolting book by the man Britain's Channel 4 TV calls the Einstein, Newton, Darwin, and Freud of the 21st century, Howard Bloom. 
  The Case of the Sexual Cosmos makes mincemeat of two of science's most cherished laws. And it tells you the tale of this cosmos, this planet, life, climate change, and your role and mine, from a meticulously researched point of view that will make your eyes pop. 
  Says the producer of seven BBC-TV science series including the classic Connections, James Burke, The Case of the Sexual Cosmos is "a triumph...full of surprises." 
  Declares MacArthur Genius Award winner Richard Foreman, The Case Of The Sexual Cosmos is "a massive achievement. Wow!" 
  Adds Harvard's Ellen Langer, The Case of the Sexual Cosmos is "a fascinating read.......[Bloom] argues that we are not savaging the earth as some would have it, but instead are growing the cosmos." 
  Concludes novelist Helen Zuman, The Case of the Sexual Cosmos pulls "us out of Greta Thunberg's self-hate machine" and shows that, "The true tragedy is not war or climate catastrophe. It's rejecting the exuberant flamboyance of exactly who we are."

  An ecologist reveals why the solution to the climate crisis lies in Earth's oldest inhabitants: microbes. 
   
  Our planet is in crisis. Scorching temperatures, deadly fires and flooding, and food shortages—the signs are everywhere. Experts warn that the planet is careening toward a point of no return. Yet their solution—eliminating fossil fuels—may not stem the damage soon enough. 
   
  In The Age of Microbes Steven Allison argues there's another way forward: microbes. These ubiquitous denizens of our biosphere are resilient to climate change and crucial to all life on Earth, making them ideal partners in the quest to repair the planet. From improved crop yields to sustainable jet fuel and healthier cities, Allison reveals how we can expand upon microbes' natural ability to remove carbon from the atmosphere, clean up pollution, and restore ecosystems. 
   
  Weaving together lessons from Indigenous cultures and farmers, scientists and land stewards, The Age of Microbes is not just a blueprint for rescuing a planet in distress. It's also a hopeful message that there's still time to reverse course. But we mustn't wait.
