Vol11-Issue02 Terroir and Other Myths of Winegrowing
Book Reviews 319 somebody like me who grew up with dry German Riesling, it was a great pleasure to read, but really, anybody interested in the story of dry Riesling will enjoy reading this book. Christian G.E. Schiller International Monetary Fund (ret.) and Emeritus Professor, University of Mainz, Germany [email protected] doi:10.1017/jwe.2016.24 MARK A. MATTHEWS: Terroir and Other Myths of Winegrowing. University of California Press, Oakland, 2016, 288 pp., ISBN 978-0-520-27695-6 (hardcover), $34.95. I immensely enjoyed reading this book, not so much because its author cites one of my articles, but mainly because he quotes Vladimir Nabokov, one of my favorite writers, who starts his Lolita with words that could apply to a wine when you taste it: “the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap at three on the teeth.” The preface sets the scene: “As I gained experience in the world of viticulture, I found that some of the received archetypes were incongruous with elementary crop science. For example, there is a long-standing argument that one cannot both irrigate vines and produce fine wines (yet rain and irrigation water are the same tograpevines)” (pp. ix–x). It is followed by four chapters debunking four false truths: (a) wine quality is determined by low yield and small berries; (b) vine balance is the key to fine wine grapes; (c) there is a critical ripening period, and vines should be stressed; and (d) terroir matters. I will try to deal fairly with all these issues, but it will come as no sur- prise to those who know me a bit if I spend more time on terroir. -

The purpose was to focus on the scientific values of the artwork for the benefit of the attendees of the 1990 Northeast Natural History Conference. From these humble beginnings, FON has grown to be an international, juried, biennial exhibit that attracts hundreds of submissions from dozens of countries. The notoriety of this exhibit highlights the increased interest in natural history illustration, the interconnectedness of illustrators all over the world, and the impressive talents of artists specializing in this genre. Artistic skill as well as the educational value of the FON artworks inspired the first Purchase Award. The pieces acquired through purchase and donation now number eighty- seven. Of these, the selected works are the curator's choice of those that best represent the long-standing goals of FON. This exhibit will be on display in the New York State Museum for the duration of the conference.

LET’S TALK IT OVER AT MOHONK A TRADITION OF CONNECTING Mohonk PEOPLE THROUGH DIALOGUE NUMBER 28 Consultations AUTUMN 2017 Nature Across Boundaries: Keeping Lands and Waters Connected “Scientists and conservation practitioners have learned that protecting biodiversity requires maintaining or restoring large, intact habitats that are connected to one another and to their associated ecological processes. Planning for such protection requires a landscape-wide perspective.” (J. Wilkinson, S. Vickerman, and J. Lerner in “Nature in Fragments” 1) “The Rensselaer Plateau east of Albany NY is estimated to be the fifth largest forested region in New York State. Its forests still exist in relatively large continuous blocks with few dividing roads. .” Rensselaerplateau.org/wildlife -- Photo courtesy of Nate Simms. The large landscapes of the Hudson Valley have historically been celebrated for their untouched beauty and sense of wildness. Painters and authors were inspired by the scenery and allure of the Catskill Mountains; vacationers sought retreat in the forests and lakes of the Shawangunk Ridge. Thanks to land preservation and management, these and other large, intact ecosystems remain in our region, such as the Hudson Highlands, the Albany Pine Bush, the Rensselaer Plateau, the Shawangunk grasslands, and the large freshwater wetlands of the Great Swamp (in Dutchess and Putnam counties).2 Nature cannot function in isolation, however, and decades encircles ridgelines. These “fragmenting” patterns also of land use change have altered the landscape, leaving impact smaller natural areas, such as vernal pools, many protected areas disconnected from other natural meadows, woodlands, and shrublands, where poorly- areas. Highways and roads criss-cross large forests; planned developments often compromise habitat value for culverts and dams sever streams and rivers; development wildlife.
