Dalmatia and the Mediterranean
Using the Braudelian concept of the Mediterranean this volume focuses on the condition of “coastal exchanges” involving the Dalmatian littoral and its Adriatic and more distant maritime network. Spalato and Ragusa intersect with Constantinople, Cairo and Spanish Naples just as Sinan, Palladio and Robert Adam cross paths in this liquid expanse. Concentrating on materiality and on the arts, architecture in particular, the authors identify portability and hybridity as characteristic of these exchanges, and tease out expected and unexpected serendipitous moments when they occurred. Focusing on translation and its instruments these essays expand the traditional concept of influence by thrusti...
The New California Wine
A comprehensive guide to the must-know wines and producers of California's "new generation," and the story of the iconoclastic young winemakers who have changed the face of California viniculture in recent years. The New California Wine is the untold story of the California wine industry: the young, innovative producers who are rewriting the rules of contemporary winemaking; their quest to express the uniqueness of California terroir; and the continuing battle to move the state away from the overly-technocratic, reactionary practices of its recent past. Jon Bonné writes from the front lines of the California wine revolution, where he has access to the fascinating stories, philosophies, and techniques of top producers. Part narrative, part authoritative purchasing reference, The New California Wine is a necessary addition to any wine lover's bookshelf.

"Fischen und Fischergespräch und Anderes von Petar Hektorovic aus Hvar"
Dieser Band stellt Petar Hektorović (1487-1572) mit seinem Werk und Leben vor. Sein einziges Buch Fischen und Fischergespräch und Anderes hat er 1568 in Venedig veröffentlicht. Es besteht aus sechzehn sehr verschiedenartigen Texten in drei Sprachen, bildet aber einen sinnreichen Zyklus. Sie werden hier auf Kroatisch, Latein und Italienisch sowie in deutscher Übersetzung wiedergegeben, kommentiert und zusammenfassend analysiert. Sein ganzes Leben lang hat Hektorović, ein Humanist von der Insel Hvar, an einem befestigten Landsitz gebaut. Dessen Anlage bildet mit den darin eingemauerten Inschriften einen zweiten Zyklus, der das poetologische Programm des Buches widerspiegelt. Die geistige und materielle Hinterlassenschaft bilden miteinander ein Ganzes, das einen intimen Einblick in die Renaissancekultur Kroatiens gewährt.
Wine Grapes
An indispensable book for every wine lover, from some of the world's greatest experts. Where do wine grapes come from and how are they related to each other?

Using the most cutting-edge DNA analysis and detailing almost 1,400 distinct grape varieties, as well as myriad correct (and highlighting almost as many incorrect) synonyms, this particularly beautiful book includes revelatory grape family trees, and a rich variety of illustrations from Viala and Vermorel's seminal ampelography with century-old illustrations. Combining Jancis Robi...
