Murdoch Books JULY 2017 This Is Not a Wine Guide Chris Morrison

A 'pocket sommelier' offering a new approach to wine that gives readers the confidence to make wine choices based on their own sense of taste and the way they like to eat, drink and live.

Description Award-winning sommelier Chris Morrison believes that your wine decisions should be driven by your own sense of taste - and by the way you like to eat, drink and live. In This Is Not A Wine Guide he helps readers develop the confidence to choose, purchase, serve, share and ultimately even collect wine without feeling the need to rely on the 'old rules' involving notes, scores, jargon and reviews. Morrison answers the question all of us ponder when faced with choosing wine from a wine list or from the bottleshop shelf: 'Where do I start?' This Is Not A Wine Guide tackles the fundamentals and then moves from the bottle forwards: into the reasons you choose it, open it and drink it; with what company, under what circumstances, in what glasses - and with what food. Because this is a wine book for people who also love food. For Morrison, food and its taste and textures represent the narrative that can unlock wine - 'wine doesn't make sense without food'. This Is Not A Wine Guide is packed with information and advice to help you get the most out of your wine experience, whether it's cracking a bottle for a barbecue, navigating a wine list in a restaurant, wondering what to serve with kimchi, or what to do when the cork crumbles.

About the Author Chris Morrison has over 20 years' experience as a sommelier in the UK and Australia. He has worked for Sir Terence Conran at Bluebird and Coq d'Argent in London, and for Australian restaurants including Sydney's Guillaume at Bennelong, and Quay. Chris is an experienced keynote speaker, wine educator, wine judge and writer.

An accessible exploration of the science of biomimicry: full of fascinating natural facts, ingenious ideas and a glimpse into the future of human innovation.

Adapt shares the weird and wonderful ways that nature has been working smarter and not harder, and shows us that by looking to her for new and innovative ideas, we can design more sustainably and efficiently for our future. An entertaining eulogy to the power of evolution, this is also a must-read for anyone with an interest in design and technology.

Making good coffee depends on understanding the science,How to Make Coffee lays out the scientific principles for the coffee-loving non-scientist.

Description Caffeine is the most widely consumed mind-altering molecule in the world; we cannot get enough of it, and drinking good coffee is our delivery system.

How to Make Coffee lays out the scientific principles for the coffee-loving non-scientist; stick to these and you will never drink an ordinary joe again.

Preserve foods at their freshest and most flavourful with pressure canning!

Description Pressure canning is the only safe way to preserve low-acid foods, including meats, fish, and most vegetables, in jars at home. That's because pressure canning allows the home canner to heat jars and their contents accurately to 240 degrees F (116 degrees C), the temperature threshold at which spores of the bacterium responsible for botulism poisoning are killed. In Modern Pressure Canning, preserving and canning veteran Amelia Jeanroy (The Farming Wife) teaches everything the home canner needs to know to use a pressure canner safely and effectively to make delicious, shelf-stable foods in the kitchen. She also provides a wide variety of recipes for canning everything from sweet corn and apple sauce to Italian meatballs and chicken soup.

Voyageur Press JULY 2017 The Toddler Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Whiny Unfed Mike Spohr and Heather Spohr

Raising a toddler and surviving a zombie attack may not seem like very similar experiences on the face of it, but they're actually much more alike than you realise.

Description Toddlers and zombies both communicate mainly through groans, clumsily trail after you everywhere you go (especially into the bathroom in the toddler's case), and - upon entering your life - leave you frazzled, on edge, and deeply sleep deprived. The Toddler Survival Guide is a hilarious parody of Max Brooks's The Zombie Survival Guide (and survival guides in general) that will leave parents laughing out loud even as it provides practical advice on how they can make it to the other side of toddlerhood intact. Written by parents who have studied toddlers up-close in their natural habitat, the book will cover survival skills including how you can outfit your home to outlast a toddler occupation (baby gate, cabinet locks, wine), how you can subdue an angry toddler (Elmo's Song, macaroni and cheese, smartphone) and even how you can safely venture out in public together without your toddler - or you - bursting into tears.Chapters include: Preparing the Home for a Toddler Invasion, Communicating with Your Toddler, Feeding a Toddler, Socialising Your Toddler, Grooming Your Toddler, Venturing into Public with a Toddler, Documenting Your Life with a Toddler, Vacationing with a Toddler, Toddler Entertainment and Birthdays, Surviving Bedtime and Potty Training, Technology and the Toddler, and Parental Self-Preservation.

Still, little is known about these exotic extraterrestrials.In Search of Stardust is the first comprehensive popular science book about micrometeorites. It's also a photo documentary comprising more than 1,500 previously unpublished images: the first atlas of micrometeorites, hundreds of which are depicted here in high-resolution colour microscopic photography and in scanning electron microscope imagery.Author Jon Larsen shows readers how and where to look for micrometeorites, explains the history of micrometeoritics, and offers chapters about micrometeorite formation, classification, and analysis. Thanks to Larsen's work, for the first time it is now possible for anyone to find these amazing tiny stones from space.For more than a century it was believed these incredible space objects could be found only in pristine, unsullied environs like Antarctica and ocean floors. Larsen became the first to break the code and find micrometeorites in populated areas -- in fact, they can be found in the nearest rain gutter. In the book Larsen explains how anyone with a bit of inexpensive equipment can find their own micrometeorites.It was recently discovered that King Tut's dagger was forged from a chunk of a meteorite. What else is made of extraterrestrial rock? Join the hunt!

About the Author A guitarist, composer, record producer, and painter, Jon Larsen began researching micrometeorites in 2009. His breakthrough came in February 2015 with the verification of the world's first micrometeorite discovered in a populated area. In January 2016, Dr. Matthew Genge at the Natural History Museum in London evaluated and verified Jon Larsen's collection of urban micrometeorites. Larsen resides in As, Norway.

Corvus PBS JULY 2017 Valiant Gentlemen Sabina Murray

A spellbinding historical epic that follows the lives and friendship of poet and Easter Rising Irish rebel Roger Casement and English sculptor Herbert Ward from their youth working in the Congo to Casement's arrest for treason and death by execution in 1916.

Description In prose that is darkly humorous and alive with detail, Valiant Gentlemen reimagines the lives and intimate friendships of humanitarian and Irish patriot Roger Casement; his closest friend, Herbert Ward; and Ward's extraordinary wife, the Argentinian-American heiress Sarita Sanford. Valiant Gentlemen takes the reader on an intimate journey, from Ward and Casement's misadventurous youth in the Congo - where, among other things, they bore witness to an Irish whiskey heir's taste for cannibalism - to Ward's marriage to Sarita and their flourishing family life in France, to Casement's covert homosexuality and enduring nomadic lifestyle floating between his work across the African continent and involvement in Irish politics. When World War I breaks out, Casement and Ward's longstanding political differences finally come to a head and when Ward and his teenage sons leave to fight on the frontlines for England, Casement begins to work alongside the Germans to help free Ireland from British rule. What results is tragic and riveting, as both men are forced to confront notions of love and betrayal in the face of the vastly different tracks their lives have taken.

Grove Press JULY 2017 The Man Who Spoke Snakish Andrus Kivirahk, translated by Christopher Moseley

A runaway bestseller in Europe where the book is so well known that a popular board game has been created based on it, The Man Who Spoke Snakish is an extraordinary coming-of-age story, mixing magical realism, reinvented national myth and satire.

Description Unfortunately people and tribes degenerate. They lose their teeth, forget their language, until finally they're bending meekly on the fields and cutting straw with a scythe.Leemut, a young boy growing up in the forest, is content living with his hunter-gatherer family. But when incomprehensible outsiders arrive aboard ships and settle nearby, with an intriguing new religion, the forest begins to empty - people are moving to the village and breaking their backs tilling fields to make bread. Meanwhile, Leemut and the last forest-dwelling humans refuse to adapt: with bare-bottomed primates and their love of ancient traditions, promiscuous bears, and a single giant louse, they live in shacks, keep wolves, and speak to snakes.Told with moving and satirical prose, The Man Who Spoke Snakish is a fiercely imaginative allegory about a boy, and a nation, standing on the brink of dramatic change.

This attractively packaged kit contains a 96 page booklet providing a comprehensive introduction to the history and technique of reading runes, along with an on-the-go reference 36 card deck.

The runes make up an alphabet that, with local variations, was used across most of northern Europe from pre-Christian times until the thirteenth century. This book explains the meanings of the runes and the Norse mythology that underpins their basic concepts.The straight, angular lines of the runes are ideal for carving into bone, wood, or stone, or forming with twigs. Different methods for making runestones are described with instructions on how to use them for divinatory and magical purposes, from making talismans to petitioning the Norse gods.

Aurum Press JULY 2017 Runner: A short story about a long run Lizzy Hawker

Lizzy Hawker is one of the greatest ultra-distance runners in the world. Her story, as a self-taught champion, will be an inspiration for anyone who has dreamt of lacing up a pair of trainers and wondering how far they could run.

Description Scared witless and surrounded by a sea of people, Lizzy Hawker stands in the church square at the centre of Chamonix on a late August evening, waiting for the start of the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc. The mountains towering over the pack of runners promise a grueling 8,600 metres of ascent and descent over 158 kilometres of challenging terrain that will test the feet, legs, heart and mind.These nervous moments before the race signal not just the beginning of nearly twenty-seven hours of effort that saw Lizzy finish as first woman, but the start of the career of one of Britain's most successful endurance athletes. She went on to become the 100km Women's World Champion, win the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc an unprecedented five times, hold the world record for 24 hours road running and become the first woman to stand on the overall winners' podium at Spartathlon.An innate endurance and natural affinity with the mountains has led Lizzy to push herself to the absolute limits, including a staggering 320 kilometre run through the Himalayas, from Everest Base Camp to Kathmandu in Nepal. Lizzy's remarkable spirit was recognised in 2013 when she was a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year. These ultimate challenges ask not just what the feet and legs can do, but question the inner thoughts and contemplations of a runner.Runner tells Lizzy's story and in so doing, uncovers the journey of the physical, mental and emotional challenges that runners go through at the edge of human endurance. From the school girl running the streets of London to breaking records on the world's mountains and toughest races, Lizzy Hawker is an inspiration to anyone who would like to see how far they can go, running or not.

About the Author Inspired by mountains and wilderness, Lizzy Hawker 'fell' into the world of ultra-distance and endurance running more by chance than by design. Endurance has always been a way of life for Lizzy, rather than a sport. But having the courage to take some unexpected opportunities opened doors, and her achievements snowballed both on the road and the trail. She is the world record holder for 24hrs and was the 2006 world champion in 100km on the road. She is also 4 time winner of

Aurum Press JULY 2017 Collecting Sikh: The Journey Of Sikh Heritage From Imperial Loot To Auction Treasure Dr Lucian Harris

A fascinating history of the dispersal of the visual arts of Sikh culture into museums, collections and auctions from the mid-19th century up to the present day, where it has become one of the hottest and most dynamic sectors of the Asian art market.

Description The royal Sikh court at Lahore was undoubtedly 19th-century India's most magnificent. At its heart lay one of the greatest treasure collections the world had ever seen. Maharaja Ranjit Singh's spectacular treasury or toshakhana housed objects that are today the prized possessions of some of the world's most famous public collections - the Koh-i-Noor diamond (British Crown Jewels) and his golden throne (Victoria & Albert Museum) are perhaps the most well known.The East India Company's annexation of Punjab and capture of the toshakhana in 1849 saw a large volume of armour, weapons, manuscripts, jewels and other precious artefacts brought to Britain. Focusing on the dispersal of these treasures, Collecting Sikh examines the facets of Sikh material culture, highlighting the fascinating stories accrued by these objects in their journey from the palaces and shrines of Punjab to the imperial exhibitions and aristocratic collections of Victorian Britain, and most recently to a global Sikh diaspora hungry to reclaim its lost heritage.

About the Author Dr Lucian Harris is a historian, journalist and acknowledged expert on British collections of South Asian art, the subject of his doctoral thesis. Dividing his time between London and Delhi, he has combined academic research with reporting on the international auction market for South Asian and Middle Eastern art. He has witnessed in recent years a new phase in his field of expertise, as wealthy and increasingly well-informed collectors from across the Sikh diaspora have shown a willingness to pay substantial prices to build collections reflective of their religious and cultural heritage.
