It is the best wine and food pairing book. Well-written, thoughtfully curated, and provides plenty of options for different matches. Better than any online pairing sites I’ve seen. We use it so much, I have some of her passages memorized.      fuente

Shopping for Votes
How Politicians Choose Us and We Choose Them
Susan Delacourt - 2013-10-22
Calificación de Goodreads
An insightful look at how political marketing in Canada has transformed into a business, with citizens as customers, resulting in voter apathy and gutless public policy. Susan Delacourt takes readers into the world of top political marketers, explaining how parties slice and dice their platforms for different audiences and abandon the hard work of knitting together broad consensus or national vision. An eye-opening book that offers a new narrative for understanding political culture in Canada.

This is the indispensable @SusanDelacourt book, Shopping For Votes, that @MooreintheAM was discussing on @NEWSTALK1010. A must-read for anyone interested in democracy, elections, and marketing. #onpoli #cdnpoli      fuente
Homeland Elegies book cover
Homeland Elegies
A Novel
Ayad Akhtar - 2020-09-15
Calificación de Goodreads
"Homeland Elegies" is a thought-provoking exploration of hope and identity in a nation that is falling apart, blending fact and fiction to tell an epic story of belonging and dispossession in the aftermath of 9/11. This gripping book is part family drama, part social essay, and part adventure, following a father and son as they navigate a changing world. Author Ayad Akhtar has created a powerful new narrative voice that captures a country where debt and finance have taken over, a TV star is president, and immigrants live in fear. Through the lens of a gripping family story, Akhtar makes sense of this chaotic new reality, sparing no one in the process.

Just finished @ayadakhtar’s brilliant new novel, Homeland Elegies, which is a searing, soaring, souring take on modern America. Reminded me a little of Frederick Exley’s A Fan’s Notes. But even better. Go buy this book.      fuente

Churchill book cover
Churchill
La biografía
Andrew Roberts - 2018-11-06
Calificación de Goodreads
Esta es, sin duda, la mejor biografía de Winston Churchill que se haya publicado. Andrew Roberts, considerado como el mejor historiador militar británico, ha podido utilizar para su trabajo una gran cantidad de documentos que ningún biógrafo había podido consultar con anterioridad, incluídos los diarios privados del rey Jorge VI, que se reunía regularmente con Churchill durante la guerra. La riqueza de la documentación que maneja permite a Roberts ahondar en la realidad humana del personaje, siguiendo su vida desde su infancia y la conflictiva relación con su padre hasta su declive, lo cual hace que el lector pueda «ver la segunda guerra mundial a través del prisma del resto de su vida».

Godforsaken Grapes
A Slightly Tipsy Journey through the World of Strange, Obscure, and Underappreciated Wine
Jason Wilson - 2018-04-24
Calificación de Goodreads
In Godforsaken Grapes, Jason Wilson explores the nearly 1,400 varieties of wine grapes in the world, beyond the 20 commonly used grapes. From Portugal to Italy to the United States, Wilson takes readers on a journey through rare and wonderful grapes, blending travel with conversations with winemakers and explorers. This book is an entertaining ode to the possibilities of wine.

.@boozecolumnist's lively new "Godforsaken Grapes" is the most enjoyable #wine book I've read since @lawrenceosborne's 2004 "The Accidental Connoisseur." Now hunting for mauzac, blaufrankisch, areni, baga, etc. (We have enough zweigelt and baco noir in Ontario.) A must read.      fuente
