The champagne garden - Fiona McIntosh
About the book: In his debut novel, "A Date with Your Brain," neuroscientist Damir del Monte takes the human brain seriously: not as a biological computer, but as a resonating chamber for consciousness, longing, and meaning. With narrative power and scientific precision, he guides us through synapses, emotions, and the long evolution of thought. Del Monte reveals what artificial intelligence lacks and what makes our brains unique.His book bridges the gap between neurobiology and culture, reminding us that thinking is more than just calculating: it is feeling, interpreting, and creating. It connects us to all living things. All good reasons to look to the future with confidence and optimism! Del Monte puts an end to dry theory: he presents the brain as a resonating chamber—sensitive, vivid, and profoundly human.Because now, more than ever, it is worthwhile to ask what truly makes us human. A book that, with narrative power and precision, transforms the fear of digitalization into orientation and self-confidence.Damir del Monte has also founded a community that you can join for free and watch many videos and lectures on the topic: BrainworldThis is a meeting place for coaches, psychotherapists, and anyone interested in what truly motivates people.

Champagne - Boxed Book by Peter Liem and Map Set
Winner of the André Simon Drinks Book of the Year Award.Winner of the IACP award in Wine, Beer & Spirits A stunning box set, complete with seven vintage maps in a pull-out drawer. Based on six years of on-the-ground research and unprecedented access to actual Champagne growers, Champagne is the first book to actually describe producers and wines based on their terroir – enlightening readers by showing them exactly where, how, and by whom these great wines are made. Champagne is one of the most iconic, sought-after wines in the world, beloved by serious wine collectors as well as everyday wine drinkers. However, it is also one of the most misunderstood wines out there – obscured by a multimillion-pound marketing industry that makes it difficult for consumers to honestly judge value and understand what they’re drinking. Included in the stunning box set are the Louis Larmat vinicultural maps – the only detailed wine maps of the region, which were commissioned by the French government in the mid-1940s and have never appeared in print in English. Author: Peter Liem is an American wine writer and the author of ChampagneGuide.net. Following nearly a decade in the wine trade, he was a senior editor, critic, and tasting director for Wine & Spirits, and his writings on sherry, Champagne, and other wines have appeared in publications such as The World of Fine Wine, The Art of Eating, Decanter and the San Francisco Chronicle. He lives in Champagne. Hardcover | 21.3 x 6.35 x 27 cm

Book Champagne - a Franco-German affair
Champagne - a Franco-German affair When the tiny pearls rise in the slim glass and tickle your nose, the first sip, well chilled, rolls over your tongue - then there is something to celebrate. The champagne, the finest of all sparkling wines, stands for luxury and enjoyment. But the most French of all drinks would not be available today if the English had not created a fashion trend in the 17th century, which some Germans who moved to France then picked up.Many German winemakers and wine merchants came to Champagne at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries, founded their own companies or became cellar masters and partners of existing companies. They traveled all over Europe and America, they spoke foreign languages and were good salespeople. They loaded horse-drawn carriages and ships with their valuable cargo and delivered them to royal and princely houses. They knew about their preferences - very sweet for the Russian tsar, dry for the English, semi-dry for the Germans. The history of champagne began 350 years ago when people wanted to get rid of the bubbles in wine. In this book you can find out what makes champagne so unique to this day and what role the Germans played in it. Author: Reinhard Pietsch Born in 1953, worked in Freiburg i.Br. and Edinburgh studied English, German and mathematics, and then worked for several publishing houses as an editorial, program and publishing manager. For several years he has been working as a freelance writer and editor in the fields of history, advice and popular science.
