Book Description

California has become the hottest wine producing area in the world, and it happened in less than 25 years. Now the acclaimed Wine Spectator columnist and critic Matt Kramer traces the dramatic progress of the California winemaking industry--the who, how, why, what, and where. No one is better equipped to provide insight into the ways in which West Coast vintners are working to create extraordinary wines, and to explain the myriad developments in character, quality, and technology that have taken place. Kramer's book provides the first comprehensive look at how new approaches to wine making have contributed to California's current high status in the world order of wine.

California Wine Simplified........2007-04-08

By far, the most complete and easily read book of its type. It puts all of the recent changes in the California AVA's in perspective.

I've read it, I've used it, I drank it (well, not really).......2006-11-10

I have already nipped into this book several times, especially before trips to nearby Santa Barbara wine country, and Kramer has never steered me wrong yet. Based on his recommendations, I experienced some great wines at Foley and Longoria - not really a GUIDE BOOK per se, no fancy graphics or easy to turn to index pages, but Kramer does have his own wine guide for this. I highly recommend for wino-folks living right here on the left coast.

Excellent and Entertaining Info on California Wine.......2005-09-28

Matt Kramer's New California Wine starts with a section that describes the thinking and mentalities behind the California wine industry (he named this part "Thinking California"). He then goes on to describe California's American Viticultural Areas (AVA) and different activities going on in each in a part named "Drinking California". He mentions quite a number of wineries - in ways that offer details that go beyond the usual, dry descriptions often found elsewhere. The "Thinking California" part of the book provides the reader with an excellent overview of the state of California wines - the thinking that has evolved the European wine mentality/tradition as opposed to the California approach to the crafting of fine wines. Kramer's writing style is quite entertaining - he's descriptive with word choices that vividly portray California. At the start of key parts of the book he sets the scene with a quote and then moves into descriptions that inform and entertain. In "Thinking California" his insights into changes and evolutions that have transpired in California wines through descriptions of the history, the wine plant, the climate, and the soil provide an overview helpful when thinking about California wines. In "Drinking California" he gives descriptions of areas (AVA) and different wine operations. Quite a lot of detail that I'll use when planning my next visit to California - the kind of detail one might want when doing advance planning - necessary when visiting wineries. As a native Californian who now lives in Europe I've tried to answer questions about California wines - what I've learned from Mr. Kramer gives an understanding of and a perspective about California wines that I'll find helpful. I'm glad I bought the book and consider its price to be a good investment.

Awesome book- Awesome trilogy!.......2007-01-14

This is part two of the trilogy "The Land of Elyon". It introduces a new plot, new characters, and a new evil.

This book is the 'middle man' and is continued in part three: "The Tenth City". Thus, I would not suggest that you buy this book alone- get part three with it.

As with the first book, I read this volume in a single day because I found it to be so thrilling. The ending leaves you DYING with curiosity to find out how it all finishes up. You will love it!

This book is not restricted to any grade, age, or reading level. It is a wonderful story for all adventure seekers!

Beyond The Valley Of Thorns.......2007-01-08

It is you who must go, you have I chosen. There is no other. Alexa Daley takes yet another extraordinary journey in the second book of The Land of Elyon series, Beyond the Valley of Thorns. After receiving a letter from Warvold, Alexa's wise deceased friend, Alexa journey's out with a few companions to save the Land Of Elyon, and rescue the Castalians from their forced ruler, Victor Grindall. In the end, Alexa manages to save the day and still keep the most important thing of all, the last Jocasta. This adventure was very interesting and was a very fast read.

The suspense of this story was very intense and a little gory, but was all in the right mind of the book. In one scene of the book Alexa, her companions, and an army of the Castalians have to fight off ninety-eight ogres. The details are very descriptive, yet somewhat gory and gruesome. Another descriptive part is where Alexa tells the readers of the ogres many wounds and all the bloody details that went along with it.

Though very interesting, this novel was also confusing. While plotting the tale of the Catherine and Lauren, other main characters in the book, I got lost in all the details and often had to go back and reread some of the tale to understand what was then happening in the book. It was very aggravating to have to do this but I was so intrigued by the book to really care to be mad.

Like any good author, Patrick Carman left some details up to the reader to decide until the next book was available. For example, it is left to be wondered if Yipes, Alexa's small, yet aged friend, will be rescued or not. He also leaves behind certain clues and details to hint off what might be in store for Alexa and her friends in the next book and their later journeys.

Considering the complications among the tale behind the story, this book may not be great for everybody to read. Anyhow, this adventure-filled novel deserves 4 stars overall. And if you're looking to read this book, you might want to check out the first book in the series.

Beyond the Valley of Thorns .......2006-12-21

Fantastic Book.......2006-10-20

The book Beyond the Valley of Thorns, written by Patrick Carman, dealt with a lot of adventure. The story continues from the first book, The Dark Hills Divide, as Alexa Daley ventures off with her friend Yipes on another adventure. As the two friends go off they meet a new friend, John Christopher, who helps them overcome many problems on their adventure. The main purpose for their adventure is to help Thomas Warvold. Thomas Warvold was an old adventurer who traveled all over The Land of Elyon overcoming all dangers in his way. As he became old he decided to build a kingdom of four cities attached to each other and surrounded by enormous walls to keep out the creatures of the wild. Those four cities were Lunenburg, Bridewell, Turlock, and Lathbury. In this adventure Alexa meets a new danger that's threatening everyone in The Land of Elyon. This danger is a giant named Abaddon has been trying to overcome The Land of Elyon in his pit dungeon at the Tenth City, but what he really wants are the Jocasta stones that give him power. The Jocastas are stones that are used to communicate with animals but some of them also have a secret language that Elyon and the animals could understand. The last Jocasta is what lies on Alexa's neck and she must protect it or else Abaddon will overcome Elyon and all of The Land of Elyon.

This book is adventurous, suspenseful, and interesting to read. It captures your attention on every page. Alexa continues with her adventure always finding help on the way. The purpose of her journey was to overcome the ninth reign of Victor Grindall in the kingdom of Castalia, but with that journey she has to pass the giants and the vicious bats looking for her friend Armon. So it turns out she has a wolf named Odessa, Yipes, a squirrel named Murphy, and Armon the last of the true giants are helping her throughout this amazing trip. She also encounters Piggott and Scroggs, the two dog leaders in the city of dogs who also help. When she goes into the city she finds the town leader who gives them an attack plan. Balmoral, the name of the Castalian leader, got the Castalian soldiers on his side and also the Castalians themselves. In that way they could possibly defeat the ninety-eight giants that turned evil from the vicious bats.

The adventure began when they reached John Christopher told Alexa she had the last Jocasta around her neck. John decided that they should move on across the rocky terrain of the Dark Hills. As they day pasted on they finally reached a spot to rest created by Warvold. Then the suspense happens when night begins the vicious bats come out ready to kill anyone in their path. Another moment was when they reached the edge of the beginning of the Valley of Thorns when Murphy saw a lot of giants roaming about. When night falls the giants come out and almost catch the group.

As you can see the book Beyond the Valley of Thorns is a very interesting book that is great for all ages. I would recommend this to people that like to read books on adventure where there is peril danger. Overall I gave this book five stars because every page is a little adventure. I read the first book that started the adventure and I loved it, so I think both of the books deserve five stars.

Fantasy goes Horror.......2006-10-09

Alexa and her friends are back in this somewhat creepy sequel, and although this one has more action, the imagery is kinda gross in places. Returning to her favorite chair in the library approximately one year after the death of Warvold, Alexa reunites with an old friend and receives a letter that sends her back out into the lands beyond the wall, and into more danger.

Again, she faces up to a long and perilous trek, living on dried meat, fruit and nuts, until she meets a stranger who is to guide her on her quest. Trouble is, he's got a big "C" branded on his forehead, meaning that he's been judged to be a criminal in the past.

Armed with a magical stone that gives her the power to talk to the animals, the little group of unwashed and decidedly stinky humans, and the much cleaner animals and other friends travel beyond the Valley of Thorns, which is made up of deadly poisoned spikes, cross the City of Dogs with its packs of rabid canines, and sneak into the town of Castalia where stands the dreaded Dark Tower.

There they face the latest in a line of evil rulers, who uses swarms of infectious bats and gross oozing ogres to do his foul bidding, but does not realize that Alexa and her friends have a plan to bring down his cruel empire. As the group of good guys gets bigger, the action steps up, and the book runs along to its "to be continued" conclusion.

The religious undertones get much stronger in this one, but I liked it more than the first because of the gross-out content and constant action.
Not for children who get creeped out by death and pestilence.

Book Description

In this seventh installment in the Hannah of Fort Bridger series, twin tragedies set the stage for God's glorious provision. A vicious mountain lion attack leaves beautiful, young rancher Carrie Wright a widow. An outlaw on his way to prison escapes the law long enough to shoot Doug McClain's wife, making him the lonely father of a young daughter. Then heroine Hannah Cooper, newly widowed herself, comforts Carrie with the knowledge that while God's servants will tread through the valley of weeping, they will also keep moving toward another mountaintop. When employment opportunities bring Doug and Carrie together, unexpected sparks fly and finally they can envision a future "beyond the valley."

Customer Reviews:

Another great book in the Hannah of Fort Bridger series.......2001-08-17

Can we make it beyond the valley to the next mountaintop? Al and Joanna Lacy answer that question in another moving book in the fiction series "Hannah of Fort Bridger." This book, along with others in this series, are not only entertaining fiction, but helpful guides for our Christian walk. Carrie's struggles with trusting God to bring her beyond the valley are like the struggles many of us face today. I, for one, hope that the series continues beyond book 8. I have read the 8 books in the series and find myself wanting to know more about Hannah.

Hannah of Fort Bridger Series #7.......2001-01-07

This is the last in the series of the Hannah of Fort Bridger books. You must read the other books in the series to really appreciate this story. Moving West was a thrilling and tragic time for families, esp. the women. This book tells of two families who's Valley of Baca turns into a mountain of praise and happiness. These books are wonderful. They are full of people living as God wants us to live. They have romance, adventure, mystery and life lessons. Start with #1 - you won't be sorry.

Book Description

At the end of Reconstruction, the old order reasserted itself, to varying degrees, throughout the former Confederate states. This period--Redemption, as it was called--was crucial in establishing the structures and alliances that dominated the Solid South until at least the mid-twentieth century.

Texas shared in this, but because of its distinctive antebellum history, its western position within the region, and the large influx of new residents that poured across its borders, it followed its own path toward Redemption.

Now, historian Patrick G. Williams provides a dual study of the issues facing Texas Democrats as they rebuilt their party and of the policies they pursued once they were back in power. Treating Texas as a southern but also a western and a borderlands state, Williams has crafted a work with a richly textured awareness unlike any previous single study. Students of regional and political history will benefit from Williams' comprehensive view of this often overlooked, yet definitive era in Texas history.

Customer Reviews:

a very different Democratic party.......2007-06-11

Williams takes us back to the decades after the US Civil War, to look at how the Texas Democratic party struggled to cope with Reconstruction. Not a wonderful picture. We see how the Democrats strenuously opposed civil rights for Negroes. This is the main theme throughout the book. To build up their support amongst whites, the Democrats engaged repeatedly in racist demagogy. Which also included diatribes against Mexicans and Latino citizens.

But not just that. Much of the book documents the maneuverings against the federal government, and many ways, often successful, in which the Democrats took control of the judiciary and local governments.

There are also other threads running through the book. As in fighting native tribes resisting incursions into their lands.

Book Description

The contributions to this study of the origins of centers of industrial and technological innovation (such as Silicon Valley) reveal that these concentrated "clusters" of entrepreneurial high tech firms are characterized by rapid economic growth. No other analysts have examined how such clusters start, although many earlier works have studied Silicon Valley. The study's contributors conclude that the key public and business policy elements of starting a cluster are common to many regions, countries, and time periods.

High-Tech clusters can work complementary rather than competitive?.......2006-08-25

Authors of this book argue the essential difference between "start up" and "established" high-tech clusters. Their view of the role of outside/top-down power vs. internal/grass-route activity for these different phases is especially helpful to the people who are involved in planning or start up of these clusters. Certainly in flattening world century, success of the cluster is highly depend on recognitions of the other clusters in terms of technology opportunities, educated labor, flow of entrepreneurial talent and so on (there is no magic recipe!). It's true challenge even of these entrepreneurs to harmonize their own clusters complementarily rather than simply competitive with others.

ASIN: 0520241339

Book Description

In this rich and deeply personal account of life in the highlands of Nepal, Geoff Childs chronicles the daily existence of a range of people, from venerated lamas to humble householders. Offering insights into the complex dynamics of the ethnically Tibetan enclave of Nubri, Childs provides a vivid and compelling portrait of the ebb and flow of life and death, of communal harmony and discord, and of personal conflicts and social resolutions. Part ethnography, part travelogue, and part biography, Tibetan Diary is a one-of-a-kind book that conveys the tangled intricacies of a Tibetan society.
Childs's immensely readable and informative narrative incorporates contemporary observations as well as vignettes culled from first-person testaments including oral histories and autobiographies. Examining the tensions between cultural ideals and individual aspirations, he explores certain junctures in the course of life: how the desire to attain religious knowledge or to secure a caretaker in old age contrasts with social expectations and familial obligation, for example. The result is a vivid and unparalleled view of the quest for both spiritual meaning and mundane survival that typifies life in an unpredictable Himalayan environment.

A lone woman traveler in China .......2005-01-27

Intrepid is the adjective that best applies to Isabella Bird. She was one of the best known travel writers of the Victorian era. She suffered from an odd probably psychosomatic disease that made her an invalid at home in Scotland -- but plant her down in China, Colorado, or Japan and give her a difficult and dangerous road to travel and she is as hardy as a bristlecone pine.

This book is about a journey Ms. Bird made about 1897 from the mouth of the Yangtze River to the Sichuan basin and the borders of Tibet. She did most of it as a solo female, accompanied only by Chinese bearers and servants, and traveling by mule, boat, foot, sedan chair, and about every other means of transport. She was more than 60 years old at the time and suffered from rheumatism.

Ms. Bird is a demon for detail and she comments on a vast range of topics during the course of her travels -- and she seems to know what she is talking about, unlike many travel writers whose accounts are embroidered and exaggerated. With Bird you have confidence that she's telling you the truth, quaint though some of her views may be.

The most interesting part of the book, in my opinion, are Ms. Bird's difficulties with Chinese officials and the public. She was beaned in the head with a rock on one occasion, which caused a "brain disturbance" that lasted a year; Chinese frequently refused to sell her food or give her shelter and officials tried to intimidate and discourage her at every opportunity. But Isabella Bird was undaunted, crossing 11,000 feet passes, weathering snowstorms, hunger, and hardship and recording her experiences in amazing detail. The book is nearly 600 pages long.

Isabella Bird's travel books are travel classics. Read this or any of her books to get a tale of exotic adventures in foreign lands -- and to wonder why this respectable female was so addicted to tramping around the world.
