Book Synopsis The Blood of the Colony by : Owen White
Download or read book The Blood of the Colony written by Owen White and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surprising story of the wine industry’s role in the rise of French Algeria and the fall of empire. “We owe to wine a blessing far more precious than gold: the peopling of Algeria with Frenchmen,” stated agriculturist Pierre Berthault in the early 1930s. In the last decades of the nineteenth century, Europeans had displaced Algerians from the colony’s best agricultural land and planted grapevines. Soon enough, wine was the primary export of a region whose mostly Muslim inhabitants didn’t drink alcohol. Settlers made fortunes while drawing large numbers of Algerians into salaried work for the first time. But the success of Algerian wine resulted in friction with French producers, challenging the traditional view that imperial possessions should complement, not compete with, the metropole. By the middle of the twentieth century, amid the fight for independence, Algerians had come to see the rows of vines as an especially hated symbol of French domination. After the war, Algerians had to decide how far they would go to undo the transformations the colonists had wrought—including the world’s fourth-biggest wine industry. Owen White examines Algeria’s experiment with nationalized wine production in worker-run vineyards, the pressures that resulted in the failure of that experiment, and the eventual uprooting of most of the country’s vines. With a special focus on individual experiences of empire, from the wealthiest Europeans to the poorest laborers in the fields, The Blood of the Colony shows the central role of wine in the economic life of French Algeria and in its settler culture. White makes clear that the industry left a long-term mark on the development of the nation.
Book Synopsis Pretty, Dark and Dirty by : Margot Scott

Book excerpt: Some lines should never be crossed. But sometimes the temptation is too good to resist... Mason Black was everything to me: my father, my provider, my protector. But then one day, he vanished, leaving me lost and alone. I was devastated. Years later, just when I thought I had put the pieces of my life together, my world splintered apart again. Everything I thought I knew about my biological father and Mason's role in my life? Turns out, it was all a lie. Every. Last. Word. Now Mason's back. However, he offers no excuses, no explanations. He just wants me to be what he claims I've always been: his little girl. But the ache inside me won't be denied. The longing I feel isn't one of a little girl who misses her father. No. I need Mason to be more than just a father figure. More than a loving protector. I need him to be my Daddy. ***Brace yourself for a twisty, forbidden romance so deliciously devious, it'll tie you up by your heartstrings and then drag you along for the ride. Like my Quick-and-Dirty Reads, it features a guaranteed melt-your-heart ending. But unlike those shorter stories, this is hardly a light-hearted romp.If you're a fan of very taboo older man/younger woman pairings, broody, protective Daddy figures, and contemporary Gothic vibes, then this book was tailor-made for your Kindle.

Download or read book Wine and Blood written by Shaun R McCann and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-19 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "26 short chapters based on 'Invited Editorials' published in the journal Bone Marrow Transplantation. They highlight a wide spectrum of unexpected connections between wine and blood. They are written in a light hearted and informative style avoiding jargon. Topics covered include everything from the random inactivation of the X chromosome to DNA and wine and cataracts and wine. The book is completely referenced and contains a number of colour prints, many of which were photographed by the author." Shaun R. McCann Professor Emeritus of Haematology and Academic Medicine, St James' Hospital and Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. Medical Director of the National Blood Transfusion Service 1995-1996 by invitation of the Minister of Health. Performed the first successful bone marrow transplant for leukaemia in Ireland in 1984. Author of > 200 medical articles, numerous book chapters and 5 books. He wrote a monthly wine article for the Irish Medical Times for 18 years. "I am honored to have played a small role in the development of this highly informative and entertaining book that links the two (apparently) unrelated disciplines of wine and hematology. Professor Shaun McCann's book, 'Wine and Blood: An Unlikely Pairing', has its roots in an exchange between me and Professor Robert Peter Gale, my long-time colleague and friend. Bob approached me to consider having McCann, an expert in hematopoietic cell transplantation as well as oenology, publish short essays in Bone Marrow Transplantation every month. It took some doing to get my attention, but once I read few of Professor McCann's engaging pieces, I was hooked. His knowledge of history, "the classics", hematology and the study of wine are second to none. The Journal then continued to receive many flattering endorsements of his work. By the time he wrote more than a dozen articles, I began pushing for a compilation of his work in a short book. Despite a number of hurdles that finally have been overcome, here is the result. I hope you enjoy the stories and amazing descriptions of the similarities and inter-relationships between hematology and wine. Please feel free to share this book with family, friends, and colleagues. Hillard M. Lazarus, Editor-in-Chief, Bone Marrow Transplantation. "Shaun McCann has been the Director of Hematology and Bone Marrow Transplantation in Dublin, St James Hospital, (for over 3 decades). He is an internationally renowned hematologist, currently involved in the Educational Program of the European Hematology Association (EHA). Professor McCann is also an expert on wine, certainly fostered by many years spent in Toscana, Italy, the land where the grape Sangiovese grows, to produce my favourite wine, Brunello di Montalcino.This Book will take you on an unexpected trip, to places where you will discover what Blood and Wine have in common, genetics, stem cells, selection, and beauty. It is a selection of Editorials Professor McCann has written over the years: they combine science, observations, mixed with an Irish wit, which will always keep you smiling."

Book Synopsis The Battle for Wine and Love by : Alice Feiring
Download or read book The Battle for Wine and Love written by Alice Feiring and published by HMH. This book was released on 2009-05-05 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “entertaining and passionate” connoisseur tours the vineyards of Europe and California, arguing for an old-fashioned appreciation of authenticity (The New York Times). The drastic effects that influential wine critic Robert M. Parker Jr. has had on the winemaking industry are best described as wine Parkerization. Many vintners are leaving old techniques behind and turning to chemistry and technology in order to please Parker’s palate. This led to the disappearance of James Beard Foundation Award–winning writer Alice Feiring’s favorite wines—and she was determined to learn why. In a one-woman crusade that will have you wondering what exactly is in your glass, Feiring argues against the tyranny of homogenization, Big Wine, consultants, and, of course, Parker’s infamous one hundred-point scoring system. Traveling through the vineyards of the Loire and Champagne, to Piedmont and Spain, she searches for authentic Barolo, the last old-style Rioja, and the tastiest terroir-driven Champagnes. Feiring reveals what goes into the average bottle—the reverse osmosis, the yeasts and enzymes, the sawdust and oak chips—and why she doesn’t find much to drink in California. She introduces rebel winemakers who are embracing old-fashioned techniques and making wines with individuality and soul. And finally Feiring explains what love’s really got to do with it all, in a delightful read for anyone who truly appreciates the good things in life.

Book excerpt: The remarkable untold story of France’s courageous, clever vinters who protected and rescued the country’s most treasured commodity from German plunder during World War II. "To be a Frenchman means to fight for your country and its wine." –Claude Terrail, owner, Restaurant La Tour d’Argent In 1940, France fell to the Nazis and almost immediately the German army began a campaign of pillaging one of the assets the French hold most dear: their wine. Like others in the French Resistance, winemakers mobilized to oppose their occupiers, but the tale of their extraordinary efforts has remained largely unknown–until now. This is the thrilling and harrowing story of the French wine producers who undertook ingenious, daring measures to save their cherished crops and bottles as the Germans closed in on them. Wine and War illuminates a compelling, little-known chapter of history, and stands as a tribute to extraordinary individuals who waged a battle that, in a very real way, saved the spirit of France.

As the couple settles in, disturbing events prompt them to investigate who those residents were, what happened to them, and why one spirit remains active. Could the Spanish influenza epidemic in the region, which resulted in the deaths of an unprecedented number of young, healthy adults in Michigan and elsewhere in 1918---19, and the resulting slew of orphans, have something to do with the spirit now haunting their house? They are determined to discover the truth about their house, even if it jeopardizes their own safety.

Book Synopsis The Spirituality of Wine by : Gisela H. Kreglinger
Download or read book The Spirituality of Wine written by Gisela H. Kreglinger and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2016 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wine serves an important role both in Scripture and in the Christian church, but its significance has received relatively little theological attention in modern times. This book fills that gap. Viewing wine as a gift of God's created bounty and as a special symbol used pervasively throughout Scripture, Kreglinger canvasses the history of wine in the church, particularly its use in the Lord's Supper, discusses the fascinating process of winemaking, and considers both the health benefits of wine and the dangers of alcohol abuse. Offering a vision of the Christian life that sees God in all things - including the work of a vintner and the enjoyment of a well crafted glass of wine.
