A moth with a sixth sense. A wasp that hunts beetles nearly twice
its size. The lives of fascinating creatures such as these were
unknown until one man introduced them to the world. Meet Jean-Henri
Fabre, one of the most important naturalists of all time. As a boy
in the French countryside, Henri spent hours watching insects. He
dreamed of observing them in a new way: in their own habitats. What
he discovered in pursuing that dream was shocking; these small,
seemingly insignificant creatures led secret lives-lives of great
drama! With its lively, lyrical text and richly detailed
illustrations, this intriguing picture-book biography introduces
the man who would forever change the way we look at insects,
bringing to life the fascinating world of dazzling beetles,
ferocious wasps, and other amazing small wonders that exist all
around us.

In "Postmodern Winemaking," Clark Smith shares the extensive
knowledge he has accumulated in engaging, humorous, and erudite
essays that convey a new vision of the winemaker's craft--one that
credits the crucial roles played by both science and art in the
winemaking process. Smith, a leading innovator in red wine
production techniques, explains how traditional enological
education has led many winemakers astray--enabling them to create
competent, consistent wines while putting exceptional wines of
structure and mystery beyond their grasp. Great wines, he claims,
demand a personal and creative engagement with many elements of the
process. His lively exploration of the facets of postmodern
winemaking, together with profiles of some of its practitioners, is
both entertaining and enlightening.
