The International Medical Congress convened in Philadelphia in
September, 1876. The National Temperance Society felt it important
to seek a declaration from such a prominent group to address the
status of alcohol as medicine. This publication is the paper
presented to the Medical Congress in its entirety. It provides the
reader with a historical perspective of the temperance movement in
America in the 19th century.
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, analyse recent
developments and future trends, and conclude that globalization of
the industry is set to continue for the foreseeable future.
Furthermore they argue that with increasing globalization, there is
a greater need than ever for systematic analysis of the world's
wine markets. This fascinating work will appeal greatly to students
enrolled in wine marketing and business courses, those studying
industrial organization, and economists and other social scientists
interested in case studies of globalization at work. As well, wine
industry participants interested in understanding the reasons
behind the recent dramatic developments in the industry will find
this rigorously analytical yet accessible book of great value.
When George Washington bade farewell to his officers, he did so in
New York's Fraunces Tavern. When Andrew Jackson planned his defense
of New Orleans against the British in 1815, he met Jean Lafitte in
a grog shop. And when John Wilkes Booth plotted with his
accomplices to carry out an assassination, they gathered in Surratt
Tavern.
In America Walks into a Bar, Christine Sismondo recounts the rich
and fascinating history of an institution often reviled, yet always
central to American life. She traces the tavern from England to New
England, showing how even the Puritans valued "a good Beere." With
fast-paced narration and lively characters, she carries the story
through the twentieth century and beyond, from repeated struggles
over licensing and Sunday liquor sales, from the Whiskey Rebellion
to the temperance movement, from attempts to ban "treating" to
Prohibition and repeal. As the cockpit of organized crime,
politics, and everyday social life, the bar has remained vital--and
controversial--down to the present. In 2006, when the Hurricane
Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act was passed, a rider excluded bars
from applying for aid or tax breaks on the grounds that they
contributed nothing to the community. Sismondo proves otherwise:
the bar has contributed everything to the American story.
Now in paperback, Sismondo's heady cocktail of agile prose and
telling anecdotes offers a resounding toast to taprooms, taverns,
saloons, speakeasies, and the local hangout where everybody knows
your name.

meaning or impact. For some, drinking good wine has become a way of

memories and good friends made so because of a most marvelous
