Champagne: How the World`s Most Glamorous Wine Triumphed Over War and Hard Times

2005 y.
Publisher: William Morrow
Description: It was in Champagne, France in 451 that Attila the Hun loosed his hordes against the remnants of the Roman Empire, where wine grapes grow today, 200,000 died in one day alone. Throughout history, rivals have coveted this corner of France: the English in the Hundred Years War, the Prussians in 1814 and 1870. And yet, this region, which historians say has suffered more invasions, battles, and wars than any other place on earth, is also the birthplace of one thing the entire world equates with good times, friendship, and celebration: champagne. `Champagne` is the story of the world`s favourite wine. It will describe how a sparkling beverage that became the toast of society during the Belle Epoque survived the unprecedented conflict of World War I, becoming even more popular in its aftermath. We will meet gutsy, determined, larger-than-life characters bent on preserving their land - and their grapes. These characters see champagne for what it is: their heritage, their promise, and a wine… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionBoth of the elven girls stood slowly and began casting their enchantments. Thea`s spell was finished a slight bit ahead of Iliryle`s and the area was suddenly brightened by a twin-pronged bolt of lighting that shot from her palm. The boltstruck unerringly at the supposed hobgoblin leader and it blasted him to a cinder. The roar of thunder following the bolt arrived as a swelling ball of mage fire swam toward the cluster of enemies at the base of the small hill. Thea and Iliryle were just close enough to see flashes of fear cross many of the hobgoblins` faces as they recognized that rapidly expanding ball of death. A flash and blast of sound indicated the arrival of the fiery ball and those caught in its blast were enveloped in flames. Cries and howls of pain came up toward Iliryle and Thea but they were too busy ducking as Hawkwind and the elven archers darted onto the hilltop. A story of high magic, adventure and flashing swordplay set against the background of… [detailed...]

Champions: The Illustrated History of Hockey`s Greatest Dynasties

Publisher: Triumph Books
Description: Over the years, which teams have earned the right to be called great hockey dynasties? Few would argue that for four decades the Montreal Canadiens were such a club. So too were the Toronto Maple Leafs of the forties and sixties. The New York Islanders and the Edmonton Oilers could both lay claim to the title in the eighties, while the ever-controversial Philadelphia Flyers would fight for that right in the seventies. What made these teams great and what kept them champions for so long? How did managers build these teams and what tore them apart? How important were individual players and how significant were the famous lines created by the coaches? How would a championship club from the twenties like the Ottawa Senators compare with a club that came to dominate in the late sixties and early seventies like the Boston Bruins? And with the changes in today`s game, will we see great hockey dynasties in the future? Champions: The Illustrated History of Hockey`s Greatest Dynasties explores… [detailed...]

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Chance continues to govern our lives in the 21st Century. From the genes we inherit and the environment into which we are born, to the lottery ticket we buy at the local store, much of life is a gamble. In business, education, travel, health, and marriage we take chances in the hope of obtaining something better. Chance colors our lives with uncertainty, and so it is important to examine it and try to understand about how it operates in a number of different circumstances. Such understanding becomes simplr if we take some time to learn a little about probability, since probability is the natural language of uncertainty. This second edition of Chance Rules again recounts the story of chance through history and the various ways it impacts on our lives. Hee you can read about the earliest gamblers who thought that the fall of the dice was controlled by the gods, as well as the modern geneticist and quantum theory researcher trying to integrate aspects of probability into their chosen… [detailed...]

Description: The long-awaited memoir from one of the most celebrated modern dancers of the past fifty years: the story of her own remarkable career, of the formative years of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, and of the two brilliant, iconoclastic, and forward-thinking artists at its center - Merce Cunningham and John Cage. From its inception in the l950s until her departure in the l970s, Carolyn Brown was a major dancer in the Cunningham company and part of the vibrant artistic community of downtown New York City out of which it grew. She writes about embarking on her career with Cunningham at a time when he was a celebrated performer but a virtually unknown choreographer. She describes the heady exhilaration - and dire financial straits - of the company`s early days, when composer Cage was musical director and Robert Rauschenberg designed lighting, sets and costumes, and of the struggle for acceptance of their controversial, avant-garde dance. With unique insight, she explores… [detailed...]

Description: A variety of important but lesser-known dimensions of the Chancellorsville campaign of spring 1863 are explored in this collection of eight original essays. Departing from the traditional focus on generalship and tactics, the contributors address the campaign`s broad context and implications and revisit specific battlefield episodes that have in the past been poorly understood.Chancellorsville was a remarkable victory for Robert E. Lee`s troops, a fact that had enormous psychological importance for both sides, which had met recently at Fredericksburg and would meet again at Gettysburg in just two months. But the achievement, while stunning, came at an enormous cost: more than 13,000 Confederates became casualties, including Stonewall Jackson, who was wounded by friendly fire and died several days later.The topics covered in this volume include the influence of politics on the Union army, the importance of courage among officers, the impact of the war on children, and the state of… [detailed...]

In the 1950s, Ernst Scheidegger traveled to India to witness the construction of the city and now the photographs that he took on his visits are collected here.Fifty years in the making, Chandigarh 1956 is a testament to Scheidegger’s innovative efforts to promote architecture and urban planning through photography.

The volume also features a facsimile of Scheidegger’s original book mock-up with sketches by Le Corbusier, and an essay by Stanislaus von Moo, which analyzes the images as well as the importance of Chandigarh and the work of Le Corbusier’s own office to promote the project… [detailed...]

Description: Gabrielle `Coco` Chanel (1883-1971) is a fashion icon unlike any other. She invented modern clothing for women: at the height of the Belle Epoque, she stripped women of their corsets and feathers, bobbed their hair, put them in bathing suits, and sent them out to get tanned in the sun. She introduced slacks, costume jewelry, and the exquisitely comfortable suit. She made the first couture perfume-No. 5-which remains the most popular scent ever created. In this beautiful volume, the glorious life of the incomparable Coco Chanel shines again through hundreds of illustrations and the lively prose of Edmonde Charles-Roux, her official biographer and close friend. Chanel knew and collaborated with the likes of Picasso, Diaghilev, Stravinsky, Cocteau, Jean Renoir, and Visconti-even as she matched their modernist innovations by liberating women from the prison of 19th-century fashion and introducing a whole new concept of elegance. The staggering collection of photographs amassed by the… [detailed...]
