Sinopse

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.

    POKER MATH - Putting the Odds in...

    There is no possible way to overestimate the significance of poker math. In the absence of a good understanding of probability and statistics, players are more prone to make judgments solely on their intuition or "feel," which can result in potentially disastrous outcomes. Although intuition can be useful in certain circumstances, it is not a reliable strategy for making decisions that are guaranteed to generate consistent profits. Poker Math offers players a trustworthy framework for making decisions based on the likelihood of specific outcomes in the game of poker. 
    Probability is regarded as one of the most fundamental ideas in poker mathematics. The study of how likely it is that something will take place is what we mean when we talk about probability. A player's ability to assess the possibility of forming specific hands in poker, the odds of winning a hand based on the amount of outs, and the probability of their opponents holding certain hands requires a grasp of probability. Players can eliminate the need to speculate or rely on their gut instincts by developing an understanding of probability, which enables them to make judgments based on the likelihood of various events. 
    Consider the following scenario: a player holds a pair of 7s in their pocket, and the flop reads 10-7-2. The player now has a set, which is a very strong hand and one of the best possible outcomes. On the other hand, there is a flush draw on the board, which indicates that if another player has two cards of the same suit, they have a chance to build a flush and beat the player who already has a set. By having a concept of probability, the player is able to compute the likelihood that another player possesses two cards of the same suit and then make a choice based on that information.

    A galvanizing road trip across California's immense public wilderness from a beloved adventurer. 
     
     
     
    It all began with a camping trip. Outdoor enthusiast Josh Jackson had never heard of "BLM land" before a casual recommendation from a friend led him to a free campsite in the desert—and the revelation that over fifteen million acres of land in California are owned collectively by the people. In The Enduring Wild, he takes us on a road trip spanning thousands of miles, crisscrossing the Golden State to seek out every parcel of public wilderness therein belonging to the federal Bureau of Land Management, from the Pacific shores of the King Range down to the Mojave Desert. Over mountains, across prairies, and through sagebrush, Jackson unravels the stories of these lands. He tells of the Indigenous peoples who have called them home for millennia, of the extractivist threats that imperil them today, and of the grassroots organizers and political champions who have rallied to their common defense to uphold the radical mandate to protect these natural treasures for generations to come. For the adventurers, campers, explorers, map readers, road trippers, nature enthusiasts, and public lands lovers out there, The Enduring Wild is an indispensable invitation to know these places more deeply and to embrace our common inheritance.

    Diamond is Fragile

    "The novels about precious stones tell about the nature, structure and search of the gems, as well as their history. Some of them are dedicated to the Russian gems, specifically to the Ural and Ukrainian emeralds, topazes and decorative stones. The thrilling storylines of the novels are interwoven with folk legends, myths and fairy tales." - Rustem Valayev, author 
    "Diamond is Fragile was one of my favorite books from my late grandfather's library. Much to my surprise (and dismay) it was only published once in the former Soviet Union approximately 50 years ago and (to the best of my knowledge) has never been published abroad. 
    I was inspired to translate Diamond is Fragile into English by my father-in-law - Thom Seymour, Sr. - due to his passion for geology and history (topics amply covered in the book). I hope that other English-speaking readers who are interested in these disciplines will enjoy it as well." - Maria K., translator
