Iniciarse en el conocimiento del vino implica algo más que beber, degustar y emitir juicios de preferencias. Significa introducirse en una cultura milenaria, en la cual pueblos enteros han plasmado, y aún lo hacen, su identidad a través de diferentes procesos de elaboración que los caracterizan. El presente libro nos transportará a un mundo de sabores, colores, aromas y texturas, donde podremos conocer los aspectos más importantes vinculados con la historia del vino, su elaboración artesanal, los accesorios, la degustación, cata y el servicio del vino, como así también el maridaje, orientado a todo público. Mediante herramientas simples y en espacios reducidos, el lector podrá elaborar su propio vino para compartir con amigos y familiares, disfrutar de buenos momentos y deleitarse con el placer de haberlo hecho con las propias manos. Así mismo, frente a reuniones familiares, con amigos o eventos especiales, muchas veces hemos tenido el honor de tener que llevar el vino... y aquí comienza nuestro gran dilema, ¿qué tipo de vino llevar? Y ya en el mismo local de ventas nos encontramos con estantes repletos de botellas de vino donde podemos observar sus etiquetas delicadamente ilustradas con indicaciones pocas veces comprensibles: varietal o de corte, contiene sulfitos, cosecha tardía, temperatura de servicio, Denominación de Origen Controlada, regiones y bodegas. Muchas veces con algún conocimiento y otras con intuición, y lógicamente observando el precio, logramos seleccionar el vino descifrando su etiqueta y habiendo considerado el menú: carnes, aves, pescados o pastas. Describiremos qué ítems debemos considerar para lograr un buen servicio: los accesorios, la temperatura adecuada de acuerdo con el tipo de vino, el descorche, el decanter, el ventilado del vino y la interpretación de las etiquetas entre otros, enriquecido también con el tema del maridaje. Los autores, un ingeniero y un sommelier, la técnica y la pasión, nos llevarán por este camino transformando en un arte el hacer y el disfrutar de esta bebida.

Thoughtful and eloquent, as timely (or timeless) now as when it was originally published in 1956, Thoughts in Solitude addresses the pleasure of a solitary life, as well as the necessity for quiet reflection in an age when so little is private. Thomas Merton writes: "When society is made up of men who know no interior solitude it can no longer be held together by love: and consequently it is held together by a violent and abusive authority. But when men are violently deprived of the solitude and freedom which are their due, the society in which they live becomes putrid, it festers with servility, resentment and hate." Thoughts in Solitude stands alongside The Seven Storey Mountain as one of Merton's most uring and popular works. Thomas Merton, a Trappist monk, is perhaps the foremost spiritual thinker of the twentiethcentury. His diaries, social commentary, and spiritual writings continue to be widely read after his untimely death in 1968.

West of Theft, on a vast stretch of ocean known as the Wastes, the free-ship Suncurl pilots its way along the Lees of Laughter's end, away from the city of Lamentable Moll. Aboard the ship, three passengers have become the subject of the crew's gossip: the luckless manservant Emancipor Reese, and his masters, the homicidal necromancers known as Bauchelain and Korbal Broach. But a bizarre force pursues them along the cursed sea-lane known as Laughter's End, even as an arcane thing awakens aboard the Suncurl. What secrets do the captain and her First Mate conceal from the rest of the crew? What lurks in the darkness of the ship's hold? And what of the eunuch's strange behavior... or his frightening offspring?
