Understanding Wine Technology has become the most favoured book of
many students. This book is aimed at the person with no formal
scientific training, yet who is interested in the science behind
wine and wants to know the mechanism behind the complex
transformations that take place. Scientific terminology has been
kept to a minimum and an attempt has been made to use everyday
words and phrases. Indeed, there are places where the scientist
might raise the eyebrows, places where perhaps science has had to
give way to an easy understanding of a complex principle. In this
fourth edition Nicolas Quille, a well-qualified and
widely-experienced French winemaker working in Oregon USA has
brought the information up-to-date so that this book remains the
mainstay for those who are studying for the Diploma of the WSET or
for membership of the Institute of Masters of Wine. The text has
also been expanded to include more information on the making of the
major styles of the wines of the world, which should be of interest
to those who are not engaged in study, but who have an enquiring
mind and therefore want to know the mechanisms behind their
production. Hugh Johnson writes in the Foreword: I'm not sure
whether to call this book a primer, a memory-jogger or a lifesaver.
Which it is depends on the reader. For WSET students it is
essentially the first, then the second. For people like me it is
the third- than rather belatedly the first. What we all need is a
crisp exposition of how wine is made and why, easy to refer to when
a funny smell appears, to cover the physics, natural history,
legislation and finally the appreciation of wine. David's first
edition has been my stand-by for years. I have my Peynaud, my
Amerine & Joslyn, my Michael Schuster for going deeper in
certain areas where necessary, but I wouldn't be without Bird in
the hand. This fourth edition adds freshly-focused insight into the
production of the principal styles of the wines of the world,
making it equally interesting for those who are simply lovers of
wine and for those who are serious students of the Master of Wine
examination. New concepts such as Orange, organic, biodynamic and
'natural' wines have been added to the public's vocabulary -
leaving many baffled and curious. Modern food legislation adds
another obstacle course for the winemaker to negotiate. The
detailed explanation of the mysteries of Hazard Analysis make this
book particularly useful for wineries that are faced with the new
problems of food safety legislation. Essentially, though, this is
the classic Bird, much updated from the third edition and available
once more to ease the pangs of students young and old.

Ten years after their award-winning Planning the Play of a Bridge
Hand (August 2009, ISBN 978 1897106 51 8), Seagram & Bird
tackle the hardest part of the game: defence. Using the same
step-by-step approach, they guide the reader through the minefield
of signalling, making a defensive plan and, above all, counting -
points, tricks and distribution.
This expertly presented book is a fabulous guide for players of all
levels. It is a clear and effective tutorial for beginners, an
essential sourcebook of reference points, sample games, tips and
professional strategies for intermediate and high-level players,
and a fascinating history of bridge and the great champions for
enthusiasts of every kind. In the introduction, the principles of
bridge and its continued evolution are discussed, and the first
chapter goes on to detail the colourful history of the game. The
practical heart of the book then focuses on how to play bridge and
improve your game, from basic through to intermediate and
advanced-level, both in bidding and cardplay. This teaching course
is designed to develop skills and competence - the importance of
good bidding, card play and defence, rules of the game, and
strategies for successful play. With more than 700 superb
photographs and artworks, the book combines a reference manual, a
stunning history and a comprehensive course in one beautifully
presented and expertly written volume. It details the amazing
history of the World Bridge Championships, and the players that
have popularised and developed the game we know today; it covers
bridge on TV and video, as well as bridge computer programs and
playing bridge with opponents accross the world via the internet;
and includes anecdotes and tips from world famous players such as
Ely Cuthbertson, Charles Goren, Rixi Markus and Benito Garozzo.
Players of all levels are able to learn and improve their game,
achieve their desired levels of skill and knowledge and, above all,
increase their enjoyment by playing bridge to the fullness of their
potential.
'Nazi Dreamtime' is the story of extreme-right
ultra-nationalists in Australia before and during the Second World
War. Some native-born Australians were attracted to the ideology of
Nazism, believing it to be applicable to Australian political and
cultural life. They felt the 'German revolution' was a European
experiment that Australians ought to learn from, and to an extent
emulate.
These Nazi enthusiasts and their fellow travellers were
charitably described by one renegade amongst them as 'well-meaning
dreamers'. Their ranks included tourists, appeasers, political
agitators, propagandists, writers, poets, mystics, aesthetes,
academics, soldiers and outright cranks. Some were obscure figures;
others enjoyed a high public profile. Many thought that Aboriginal
concepts of dreaming could be merged with national-socialism to
form a 'blood-and-soil' white dreaming - a Nazi Dreamtime under the
Southern Cross. Berlin's aggressive foreign policy in the late
1930s failed to shake their faith, and even the war would not
dislodge some from Hitlerism. Only the defeat of Nazi Germany in
1945 terminated the dream that had become a nightmare, although the
idea still lingered.
Winning Notrump Leads was a ground-breaking and very well-received
book that used the power of computers to determine which opening
leads work best against a variety of auctions at notrump. Using
enhanced software, the authors now turn their attention to suit
contracts. They generate millions of random deals, retaining those
that match the chosen auction, for example 1S-2S-4S. By playing
these deals automatically against each of the 13 possible opening
leads from a given hand, they are able to discover which lead is
most likely to beat the contract (also the best lead at matchpoint
pairs). The authors provide insightful commentary to each result,
answering timeless questions such as: When should I lead a trump?
When is a doubleton a good opening lead? Should I lead differently
against a partscore? Should I make an aggressive or a passive lead?
Should I lead an ace against a small slam? Which leads work best
against a grand slam? By using the number-crunching computer power
available nowadays, there is no longer any need to rely on general
opening-lead guidelines passed down by our ancestors. We think you
will be surprised by many of the discoveries made during this
investigation! DAVID BIRD (top) and TAF ANTHIAS were contemporaries
at Cambridge University, both reading mathematics. They carried out
research and development on software systems for over 30 years at
IBM's UK Laboratories. In the 1970s they formed a successful bridge
partnership, winning a number of national events. David is now one
of the world's top bridge writers with 116 books to his name. Taf
moved on to the USA, where he became a vice president of Cisco
Systems. They have joined forces on this ground-breaking book.

If you are a middling player and are keen to advance, this book
will show you the way forward. David Bird has taken ten key areas
in bidding and play and has applied his considerable skills as a
player and critic to prove how results can be gained. The topics
covered range from bidding the opponents' suit and battling for the
part-score to support doubles and redoubles, and splinter bids and
fit jumps. The essential points to remember are summarised at the
end of each chapter and there are problems to solve which will show
how much you have taken on board. Why wait any longer? Your
opportunity to become a better player is here!
Using the same format as The Pocket Guide to Bridge, this book
provides a handy pocket summary of about two dozen basic concepts
in defensive cardplay. In a concise but readable manner, it
summarizes most of the material presented in 25 Ways to Be a Better
Defender by the same author team (Master Point Press; 2004; ISBN
978 1897106 11 2).
Seagram and Bird's previous book Planning the Play of a Bridge Hand
(ISBN 978 1897106 51 8; August 2009) was named Book of the Year in
2010 by the American Bridge Teachers' Association. It introduced
the basic concepts of how to go about making a plan as declarer for
beginning and improving players, and is a popular text for bridge
teachers. This sequel extends the plan to more complex situations,
and covers ideas such as safety plays, avoidance play, trump
control, dummy reversal, and endplays. It will appeal to players
who have a good grasp of the basics of declarer play, and are
looking to improve from there.
