  An excellent bottle of wine can be the spark that inspires a brainstorming session. Such was the case for Ian Tattersall and Rob DeSalle, scientists who frequently collaborate on book and museum exhibition projects. When the conversation turned to wine one evening, it almost inevitably led the two-one a palaeoanthropologist, the other a molecular biologist-to begin exploring the many intersections between science and wine. This book presents their fascinating, freewheeling answers to the question What can science tell us about wine? And vice versa. Conversational and accessible to everyone, this colorfully illustrated book embraces almost every imaginable area of the sciences, from microbiology and ecology (for an understanding what creates this complex beverage) to physiology and neurobiology (for insight into the effects of wine on the mind and body). The authors draw on physics, chemistry, biochemistry, evolution, and climatology, and they expand the discussion to include insights from anthropology, primatology, entomology, Neolithic archaeology, and even Classical history. The resulting volume is indispensible for anyone who wishes to appreciate wine to its fullest.

  Chorology, the study of the geographical distribution of organisms, offers crucial insights into how life is spread across the planet. This scientific discipline examines the patterns, processes, and factors that determine where species occur and why they are found in particular regions. From dense tropical rainforests to arid deserts and remote island ecosystems, chorology helps explain the complex relationships between organisms and their environments. Understanding these distributions is essential not only for ecological research but also for conservation efforts, climate change studies, and predicting future biodiversity trends. 
  The origins of chorology date back to early explorations and observations of naturalists who noted how plants and animals varied across regions. Over time, with advancements in biology, geography, and technology, chorology has developed into a distinct field of study. It now integrates concepts from ecology, evolution, geology, and climatology to provide a comprehensive understanding of how species disperse, adapt, and thrive in diverse environments. By identifying distribution patterns, chorologists can trace the historical movements of species, understand their evolutionary relationships, and predict how current and future environmental changes might alter these patterns. 
  One of the fundamental aspects of chorology is recognizing that species distributions are influenced by a combination of environmental, biological, and historical factors. Climate, topography, soil composition, and availability of resources play significant roles in determining where species can survive and reproduce. Additionally, interactions such as competition, predation, and symbiosis shape the presence or absence of species in particular areas.
