There has never been a more exciting time to drink Australian wine.
Centuries of innovation and determination have led to an era of
exceptional achievement in Australia, yet it is a country whose
output is not matched by its scholarship. Until now. How to Drink
Australian brings together global experts to answer its namesake
question, offering sweeping, practical, and compelling insight to
all aspects of Australian wine: exhaustive analysis of every
significant region, stunning and detailed maps, bespoke
illustrations and artwork, individual wine recommendations,
hundreds of producer profiles, a fold-out region-by-region grape
table and more, all curated with a reverence for Australia's first
custodians. How to Drink Australian is the modern wine book that
Australia (and a world of wine drinkers) has been waiting for. Jane
Lopes and Jonathan Ross lead this important book, with
contributions from Mike Bennie, Kavita Faiella, and Hannah Day, and
original maps by Martin von Wyss.
One of the most revealing snapshots of British cinema-going ever
produced, "The Ultimate Film" is the definitive list of the
all-time top 100 films based on UK cinema admissions. From the
1930s to the present, the chart shows the diverse tastes that come
together to make up Britain's choice of film favorites.

Bond compare with Bridget Jones? "The Ultimate Film" has the
answers taking the reader from "Carry on Nurse" to "A Clockwork
Orange, South Pacific "to "Star Wars" and "Ben Hur" all the way to
"Doctor Zhivago,"

when it was released and, with the benefit of hindsight, were they
right? Who were the stars and who directed the action? What

world that led the film to be made, and then made it so
popular?
Sure to provoke debate and discussion, this fascinating and
lavishly illustrated book tells us much about our shared history,
culture and attitudes.
This is the first time a list has been compiled based on the films
people have most wanted to see. Some of the results will come as a
surprise and the list has much to tell us about how we once were,
and how cinema going has played no small part in shaping our
culture and helped make us the way we are today.

What if the foremost scientist in the field of nanotechnology and
microrobotics decided to use his inventions to take our world
leaders hostage and enact his own political agenda? Dr. J. Maurice
Carpenter has worked for decades at the Brookhaven National
Laboratory on a top-secret government project to develop a
terrifying new breed of weaponry. Launching an attempt to take over
the world, Carpenter implants microscopic robots in the bodies of
the President of United States and his family members. The only
hope for stopping Carpenter is a Los Angeles-based FBI agent named
Bill Maddox, who is more accustomed to working simple narcotics
cases than handling crises of such magnitude. In far over his head
but determined to prove his worth, Maddox plunges into a labyrinth
of danger, matching wits against an intellect far superior to his
own. In doing so, he confronts a femme fatale and a technology
potentially more deadly than any the world has ever witnessed. More
frightening still, it is a technology that actually exists today.
"Ross is a powerful new voice on the thriller scene. He takes the
best of Le Carre, Clancy and Ludlum and winds it up with a timely,
riveting commentary on the sociopolitical threats that lie beneath
the surface of the nightly news. You won't be able to put this book
down." -RIP GERBER, author of the best-selling thrillers PHARMA and
KILLER VIRUS
