Welcome to The Periodic Table of Wine! Instead of hydrogen to helium, here you'll find Chardonnay to Shiraz - grape varieties and wine names, as you would find wine in shops, arranged following the logical ordering of The Periodic Table of Elements. Wine expert Sarah Rowland has arranged 127 wines by their essential colour, aroma and flavour properties, from white to rose to red and including sparkling, fortified and sweet wines too. The result is an engaging pocket guide to wine that makes navigating wine lists and off-licence shelves hassle free and easy for anyone. Do you tend to stick to what you know and like? Find your favourite wine in the table and, in theory, you should like all the other wines in the same column and also the wines immediately to the left or right, regardless of colour, because they all share characteristics you'll enjoy. Then find out why they are similar, how to enjoy them, what to pair them with and even more wines to try in this expert guide.

The Extraordinary Elements presents the periodic table as you have never seen before! These fun, surrealist postcards from the fantastic Ximo Abadia are the perfect way to get familiar with all 118 elements. Featuring Alice Cooper (Arsenic), Freddie (Mercury), Kurt Cobain (Lithium) and a whole host of weird and wonderful characters both real and imagined, this stunning postcard set presents the personified elements as you've never seen them before! Including 118 postcards printed on beautiful, thick card, and presented in a stunning gift box with the periodic table printed on the lid, this is the perfect gift for anyone who is zany about chemistry.
