Burgundy is France's most prized and prestigious wine region today
as well as being one of its oldest and most traded, if not always
by the English. Its wines, to quote Jay McInerney who contributes,
are "for lovers, lunatics and poets…" and are the textbook
definition of what terroir is all about. Villages mere metres apart
produce wines of startlingly different personalities, and it is one
of the rare regions in Europe whose red and white wines are equally
celebrated. For all of its precious history it is also a region at
the forefront of vinous innovation, with many winemakers certified
as biodynamic. It is home to some of the world's most famous wine
estates, and its top wines are all made from just one red and one
white grape, yet the range of wine styles across the region, from
Chablis in the north to Beaujolais in the south is
significant.  On Burgundy explores all of these themes
and ideas with contributions from many of the world's top wine
writers, looking at the kings, popes, mavericks and pioneers who
have made wine in this region for generations.Â

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 13th International
Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed
Systems, SSS 2011, held in Grenoble, France, in October 2011. The
29 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 79
submissions. They cover the following areas: ad-hoc, sensor, and
peer-to-peer networks; safety and verification; security;
self-organizing and autonomic systems; and self-stabilization.
Troubled, tormented, dejected and disrespected. 'I've had enough of
this as the bullies and beefs are breaking me. I need to find a new
me not this old Lee, I need to find a fiend so I can attack back
mercilessly. I'm not here to be broken so now it's my time to be
outspoken. You haters, I'm not even joking, as by the end of this
battle it'll be you that is choking...' Lee is sixteen and life is
tough. A broken home and a hard time at high school with tears,
jeers and fears seeming relentless and leaving him defenseless. Lee
needs to stop this and fight back but how? Is the answer in his
ability to manipulate words? Can he battle back using rap? Can he
find himself by reinventing himself? Is there a verbal villain
waiting to be unleashed from its cage? Start reading about a timid
and troubled teenager and end up supporting a word-slinging warrior
of rhyme for our time.
