Robert M. Parker
The World`s Greatest Wine Estates: A Modern Perspective

2005 y.
Publisher: Simon &, Schuster
Description: Famed wine critic Parker can make (or break) a winery with his strong, personal opinions. In the introduction to this imposing reference, he justifies his beliefs with a detailed definition of what makes a wine estate great. Parker`s opinionated dissertation, both educational and meaningful even to the wine novice, outlines his method for deciding which vineyards and wineries to include here, plus an analysis of how the world of wine has changed in the past 25 years and a tribute to the skill and hard work of the producers. Though Parker has made room for some wines from Australia and the U.S., France dominates the book. The work is divided alphabetically by country (Argentina, Australia, Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, U.S.), with each section beginning with an overview and history of wine making in the area, followed by directory-like details and profiles of selected producers, and commentary on specific vintages, including Parker`s trademark point system.

The World`s Newest Profession: Management Consulting in the Twentieth Century (Cambridge Studies in the Emergence of Global Enterprise)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In The World`s Newest Profession, Christopher McKenna offers a history of management consulting in the twentieth century. While management consulting may not yet be a recognized profession, the leading consulting firms have been advising and reshaping the largest organizations in the world since the 1920s. This groundbreaking study details how the elite consulting firms, including McKinsey and Booz Allen, expanded after U.S. regulatory changes during the 1930s, how they changed giant corporations, nonprofits, and the state during the 1950s, and why consultants became so influential in the global economy after 1960. As they grew in numbers, consultants would introduce organizations to `corporate culture` and `decentralization` but they faced vilification for their role in the Enron crisis and for legitimating corporate blunders. Through detailed case studies based on unprecedented access to internal files and personal interviews, The World`s Newest Profession explores how… [detailed...]

The World`s Richest Floral Kingdom: South Africa`s Botanical Wonderland (Meridian Series)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: South Africa`s forests, savannas, shrublands and grasslands are home to some 22,000 species of wildflowers, many of great beauty. Proteas with flower heads like painted cups or bristling pincushions jostle for space in the fynbos shrublands among brush-like reeds and heathers studded with shiny tubular florets. Curiously shaped succulents, many bearing glossy flowers that reflect the midday glare, thrive in the drier parts, and a host of colourful bulbs and annual herbs brighten the spring countryside. The region may account for as much as 10 per cent of the world`s wildflower species, and each year sees the addition of newly discovered species to the growing list. This delightful little volume is the collaboration of the celebrated photographer Gerald Hoberman and Dr John Manning, a world-renowned authority on the South African flora. [detailed...]

The World`s Wild Places

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A stunning presentation of a decade-long journey in the world`s remaining wilderness. There is and can be no price placed on wilderness. A handful of super-rich individuals like Bill Gates have bought vast tracts of remote land in a bid to capture and preserve the experience of the wilderness. This is not enough, however, and most of humankind now realizes that the value of wilderness is well beyond any price. This large-format book from Colin Prior records his 10-year journey through wilderness areas across the globe. His panoramic photography and personal journey provide an unforgettable story of the world`s quickly disappearing wild places. The searing sands of the Namib, the oxygen-starved Atacama desert, the gargantuan splendor of Utah`s Monument Valley, the remote vastness of Torres del Paine, the ethereal beauty of Norway`s Lofoten Islands -- all the great wild places are portrayed in this book as never before, and perhaps for the last time. … [detailed...]

The World`s Wine Markets: Globalization at Work

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This absorbing book examines the period of massive structural adjustment taking place in the wine industry. For many centuries wine was very much a European product. While that is still the case today - three-quarters of world wine production, consumption and trade involve Europe and most of the rest involves just a handful of New World countries settled by Europeans - the importance of exports from non-European countries has risen dramatically over the past decade. The World`s Wine Markets includes an in-depth look at the growth and impact of New World wine production on the Old World producers, revealing that between 1990 and 2001, the New World`s combined share of world wine exports grew from 4 to 18 per cent, or from 10 to 35 per cent when intra-European Union trade is excluded. Original essays, by economists from each of the major wine producing and consuming regions in the world, analyze recent developments and future trends, and conclude that globalization of the industry… [detailed...]

The World`s Wisdom : Sacred Texts of the World`s Religions

1995 y.
Publisher: HarperSanFrancisco
Description: This is a compendium of sacred texts of the religions of the world, written as a companion for Huston Smith`s classic The Religions of Man. Chapters cover Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Primal religions (e.g., Native American, African, etc.). The intent of the book is clearly to whet the appetite of the first-year college student by offering tidbits from the New Testament, Tao Te Ching, Qur`an, Hebrew Bible, etc., in small, tasty portions, easily consumed without any need for deep reading or reflection. The narratives accompanying the texts are informative but are sometimes woven into the texts, occasionally making it difficult to tell where the narrative leaves off and the texts actually begin. There is a lack of ample citations that would allow the interested student to track down the actual location of an excerpt in the original sacred manuscript. Yet when Novak`s book is used jointly with Huston`s, it will serve as a good text and… [detailed...]

The World`s Worst Aircraft: From Pioneering Failures to Multimillion Dollar Disasters

2007 y.
Publisher: Grange Books
Description: The great leaps in aviation history - the Wright brothers` first flight, Lindbergh`s first crossing of the Atlantic, Yeager breaking the sound barrier - were all made by pushing the boundaries of aeronautical science, wringing extraordinary performance out of experimental and untested aircraft. However, for every success like these there were new aircraft designs which flew badly (or not at all), crashed on landing, burned up fuel at an alarming rate, exploded without warning, or pointlessly wasted millions of dollars. `The World`s Worst Aircraft` takes a lightheaded look at 150 of these flying failures - old and new - and asks the pertinent questions. Why did they ever get off the drawing board? What went wrong? Why were they so unreliable, and how much money was wasted by governments, manufacturers and individuals trying to make them a success? Each aircraft is illustrated with a full-page photograph, annotated to show particularly bad, dangerous or unusual features. The… [detailed...]

Included are tables of alphabets and syllabaries as well as script samples, usually featuring transliteration, transcription, and gloss of the text.

There is even a section with entries treating notation systems used for music and movement. The Blackwell Encyclopedia of Writing Systems is arranged in dictionary format without an index, but with a substantial bibliography.

The Worlds of Jacob Eichholtz: Portrait Painter of the Early Republic

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe Worlds of Jacob Eichholtz explores the life and times of an oft-overlooked figure in early American art. Jacob Eichholtz (1776?1842) began his career in the metal trades but with much practice, some encouragement from his friend Thomas Sully, and a few weeks instruction from America?s preeminent portraitist, Gilbert Stuart, he transformed himself into one of the nation?s most productive portrait painters. Eichholtz worked primarily in the Middle Atlantic region from his homes in Lancaster and Philadelphia. While Stuart and Sully concentrated on the elite of American society, Eichholtz captured the images of a rising middle class with its craftsmen, merchants, doctors, lawyers, and their families. From a lifetime that spanned the American Revolution to the Industrial Revolution, and a career that produced more than 800 paintings, Eichholtz offers a collective portrait of early American culture in the first half of the nineteenth century.

The Worlds of S. An-sky: A Russian Jewish Intellectual at the Turn of the Century

Publisher: Stanford University Press
Description: Shloyme-Zanvl Rappoport, known as An-sky (1863-1920), the author of the best known play in the Hebrew and Yiddish languages, `The Dybbuk,` was a figure of immense versatility and also ambiguity in Russian and Jewish intellectual, literary, and political spheres. He was a leading Russian populist, he was the author of the poem adopted as the anthem of the Jewish Socialist Labor Bund, he is credited with being the founder of the field of Jewish ethnography, and he wrote one of the most influential works of Jewish catastrophe literature in modern times, his masterpiece `Hurbn Galitsye,` on the travails of East European Jews in the First World War. This volume is the most complete examination of An-sky ever produced. It draws together leading historians, ethnographers, literary scholars, and others in a far-ranging, multidisciplinary exploration.
