Book excerpt: The delight of Bacchus, wine has ever been man's solace and joy. Growing out of the poorest soil, the wild grape was tamed and blended over millennia to produce a royal beverage. But the nineteenth century brought a near revolution in the production of wine, and democracy in its consumption; technology made wine an industry, while improved living standards put it on the people's dinner table. The vintners of France and Italy frantically bought land and planted grapes in their attempt to profit from the golden age of wine. But the very technology which made possible swift transportation, with all its benefits to winemen, brought utter devastation from America--the phylloxera aphids--and only when France and Italy had replanted their entire vineyards on American stock did they again supply the thirsty cities and discriminating elite. In an exhaustive examination Professor Loubère follows the wine production process from practices recommended long ago by the Greeks and Romans through the technical changes that occurred in the nineteenth century. He shows how technology interacted with economic, social, and political phenomena to produce a new viticultural world, but one distinct in different regions. Winemen espoused a wide range of politics and economics depending on where they lived, the grapes they grew, and the markets they sought. While a place remained for carefully hand-raised wine, the industry had, by the end of the century, turned to mass production, though it was capable of great quality control and consistency from year to year. The author uses a wide range of sources, including archives and contemporary accounts. The volume contains extensive figures, tables, graphs, and maps.

Book excerpt: Ce petit livre contient sept conférences faites aux enseignants du département du Rhône par les membres fondateurs de la Société des Etudes locales dans l'enseignement public (Section lyonnaise). Ce n'est pas un travail d'érudition. Ce n'est même pas à proprement parler une histoire de Lyon et du Lyonnais. Tous les conférenciers ont été guidés dans le choix des faits par ce principe essentiel, et ils n'ont eu d'autre prétention que de les rapporter avec exactitude. Les auteurs se sont attachés surtout à suivre les destinées de la ville de Lyon, parce qu'elle leur fournissait un cadre ferme, et parce que les pays qui composent actuellement le département du Rhône seront dans la suite l'objet de conférences particulières. Ainsi apparaît nettement le caractère pédagogique de l'oeuvre entreprise. Il a semblé cependant que, parmi les lecteurs de ce livre, quelques-uns, mieux préparés aux travaux historiques par leur éducation ou leur goût, auraient le désir de pénétrer plus avant dans l'histoire du Lyonnais, que peut être certains instituteurs voudraient l'étudier de plus près dans les limites d'un village ou d'une époque. En somme faciliter la tâche du lecteur faire mieux connaître la petite patrie, et, par la petite patrie, faire mieux connaître et aimer la grande, tel est le but qu'on a cherché à atteindre.

Book excerpt: "Year of Sorrows draws upon an extensive array of archival sources to chronicle the famine crisis of 1709 in Lyon and its surrounding provinces." "Combining a traditional narrative of human struggle and desperate improvisation with contemporary analysis, Monahan takes his readers from the court of Versailles through the cities of Lyon into the hovels of French peasants who resisted the city's demand for their grain. Monahan goes on to analyze the political, social, economic, and demographic impact of the famine on an early modern city and explores the many conflicts created by the crisis between city and monarchy, city and countryside, and among various groups within Lyon. According to Monahan, the famine of 1709 serves as a prism to refract the interactions between royal finances and food shortages, between elites and the powerless, and between competing factions and power centers, and redefines the nature of the "absolute" monarchy of the Sun King." "This dynamic study of human struggle and its political and social dimensions sheds new light on a host of issues and problems in France before the Revolution and on the role that such crises have played in human history."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
