This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 15 working days Taste is a funny thing. Not ha-ha funny, but peculiar funny. Even the definition of the word is a little confusing. It is both a verb and a noun. It means to eat or to drink; to have or to get experience; a manner or a style. This, then, is the first barrier to enjoying wine. All too often the wine lover is fed information from a taster rather than from his own palate because the tools necessary, the how-tos of tasting itself, aren't readily available. Sure, we all know what we like and dislike, but the world of wine, once it is opened up, is a wondrous and varied one. What is needed to capture the full breadth of wine is a knowledge of how to read your own senses and an understanding of what factors determine your preferences. Winetaster's Secrets focuses on this very facet of wine. Step by step, this book reveals how it's done; how the experts, and now you, can determine and evaluate wine quality. It does so in a manner that neither simplifies or complicates the subject. The object is threefold: -- to encourage the reader to expand the use of his/her natural senses, increasing the enjoyment of all wines -- to help develop the ability to judge consistently and accurately the quality of a wide array of wines, independent of the tastes of others -- to foster appreciation of the differences in qualitative and nonqualitative wine characteristics -- In addition, Winetaster's Secrets addresses the issues that have often been avoided in previous publications, including: -- age in the taster and the wine -- burnt wine -- brandy -- how to taste and judge it -- a chilling experience -- ice wine -- tasting techniques -- scoring systems, how they work and which system work better than others -- The result is a precise, enjoyable book.

Author: Carlo Michelstaedter Publisher: University Of KwaZulu-Natal Press (2007) ISBN-10: 1869140915 ISBN-13: 9781869140915 Condition: Very Good. The dust jacket has a few scratches and light wear to the edges. Very slight bumping to spine-ends. Else an excellent copy. Binding: Hardcover with dust jacket Pages: 153 Dimensions: 23.7 x 15.6 x 1.5 cm +++ by Carlo Michelstaedter +++ Carlo Michelstaedter (1887-1910) committed suicide at the age of 23, days after completing this devastating treatise on the human condition and the course of Western civilization. This work was deemed to be so radically nihilistic, or so radically idealistic, that publishers shied away from it for decades. This new English translation brings to life the heartfelt text of the precocious Italian-Jewish writer, poet, and painter, who, refusing to compromise with life, remained loyal to his ideal of a perfect world. Keenly aware of the inevitable catastrophe that the values of his time held in store for humanity, Carlo Michelstaedter, with Persuasion and Rhetoric, also provides a pithy - albeit idiosyncratic - synthesis of the major currents of philosophical thought that held sway at the beginning of the 20th century. Its searing honesty and mordant critique have not lost any immediacy, almost a century after the work was completed as a university thesis. The reader is challenged to re-examine the dull norms, conventions, and patterns of thought all too readily adopted as humanity willingly, pathetically courts its own demise. And yet, amidst this gloomy vision, Michelstaedter forces the reader to re-appraise the here-and-now, to summon the courage to live a life worthy of being lived.

Author: Albie Sachs Publisher: Oxford University Press (2009) ISBN-10: 0199571791 ISBN-13: 9780199571796 Condition: Very Good. Light wear to edges of the dust jacket.  Else a very good copy. Binding: Hardcover with dust jacket Pages: 306 Dimensions: 22.1 x 14.4 x 2 cm +++ by Albie Sachs (With Author's Inscription) +++ From a young age Albie Sachs played a prominent part in the struggle for justice in South Africa. As a result he was detained in solitary confinement, tortured by sleep deprivation and eventually blown up by a car bomb which cost him his right arm and the sight of an eye. His experiences provoked an outpouring of creative thought on the role of law as a protector of human dignity in the modern world, and a lifelong commitment to seeing a new era of justice established in South Africa. After playing an important part in drafting South Africa's post-apartheid Constitution, he was appointed by Nelson Mandela to be a member of the country's first Constitutional Court. Over the course of his fifteen year term on the Court he has grappled with the major issues confronting modern South Africa, and the challenges posed to the fledgling democracy as it sought to overcome the injustices of the apartheid regime. The book provides unique access to an insider's perspective on modern South Africa, and a rare glimpse into the working of a judicial mind. By juxtaposing life experiences and extracts from judgments, Sachs enables the reader to see the complex and surprising ways in which legal culture transforms subjective experience into objectively reasoned decisions. With rare candour he tells of the difficulties he has when preparing a judgment, of how every judgment is a lie. Rejecting purely formal notions of the judicial role he shows how both reason and passion (concern for protecting human dignity) are required for law to work in the service of justice.
