` Delicious`. I licked my lips. The wine filled me with joy. A picture of a vineyard drenched in sunlight formed in my mind. Sean drew me rudely back to the lounge of our semi-d. ` How can they be in liquidation if they make wine this good?` When Caro & Sean find the perfect ten-hectare vineyard in Saussignac, it seems their dreams of becoming wine-makers in the south of France are about to come true. But they arrive in France with their young family (a toddler & a newborn) to be faced with a dilapidated eighteenth-century farmhouse & an enterprise that may never, ever make them a living. Undeterred by mouse infestations, a leaking roof, treacherous hordes of insects, visits from the local farm `police` & a nasty accident with an agricultural trimmer, Caro & Sean set about transforming their `beyond eccentric` winery into a successful business as they embark on the biggest adventure of their lives
- learning to make wine from the roots up.

” An exhilarating wine book... No serious wine lover`s library is complete without it” Wine Spectator Grapes & Wines is the key to enjoying modern wine. Approaching wine through grapes is in tune with the way consumers now think & learn about wine. Most wines, especially those from the Americas, Australasia & South Africa, are now sold under the name of the grape variety used rather than under the old European system of chateau & appellation name. You`re standing in a wine shop & see bottles labeled Aglianico or Tannat. Do you know what they are? Garnatxa sounds familiar & it is, as it is the Basque name of the popular Grenache grape, but how do you know this? You`ve heard of Carmenere from Chile, & probably bought the wine, but did you know it is an old historic Bordeaux variety? This is the perfect book to help you find out more about the world`s top classic grapes, from Cabernet Sauvignon to Zinfandel
- the history, the places, the people, the wine styles & the flavours are covered in detail. It is also just the book for dipping into as you come across an unfamiliar grape variety. Grapes & Wines has been thoroughly revised & updated.

The latest volume in the highly acclaimed New Naturalist series, this is a detailed & up-to-date account of the behavior & ecology of grasshoppers & crickets. Renowned expert in the field Ted Benton offers a comprehensive account of the appearance, variations, behavior, habitat, life-cycles, & distribution of all the native British species of bush-crickets, crickets, groundhoppers, & grasshoppers. Many details from direct field observation are included, which are published here for the first time. With up-to-date information on newly arrived & recently established species, as well as long-established non-native species—such as the house cricket & greenhouse camel cricket— Benton pays special attention to a key area of evolutionary thought that has stimulated an international research focus on grasshoppers & crickets. Recent approaches to mating & reproduction emphasise differences & even conflicts of interest between males & females. The sexually selected adaptations & counter-adaptations to such conflicts of reproductive interest are used to explain the astonishing diversity of reproductive behavior exhibited by grasshoppers & crickets: male territorial behavior, coercive mating, complex songs, elaborate courtship performances, the donation of edible ”nuptial gifts, ” the reversal of sex-roles, mate-guarding, keeping of ”harems” &, in a few species, parental care of the offspring. These chapters provide an introduction to the theoretical issues & an overview of many case studies drawn from research on orthopterans from across the world (but including British species where relevant). A unique DVD features many aspects of the behavior of nearly all British species, including song, conflict, courtship behavior, sex-role reversal, & egg laying. The book is lavishly illustrated with color photographs & line drawings, covering all the British species (including immature stages in most cases), key habitats, & many aspects of behavior. ...
