The Story of Champagne: The History and Pleasures of the Most Celebrated of Wines

London: Hamish Hamilton

Originally published in 1991, a history of the 700 year long war between the growers around Bordeaux and the merchants who sold their wine, which charts the emergence of a collection of foreign wine-dealers, and discusses the effects of the Bordeaux scandal in 1973 on the established trade.

Blaze: The Forensics of Fire

Focusing on the most destructive fires of modern times, Nicholas Faith details the work of these investigators as they piece together causes of ignition, observe how fire spreads and smoke flows, and attempt to understand the behavior of those unlucky souls caught in the most fearsome infernos. Their work can convict arsonists or form the bases of legislation-making buildings safer for all of us. Including information about the cataclysmic conflagrations at the MGM Grand and Our Lady of the Angels School, Blaze features first hand testimonies from people whose lives have been scarred by their encounters with fire. Nicholas Faith examines the fire-fighters who risk their lives tackling the blazes, and the investigators, safety engineers, and forensic scientists who scour gutted rubble heaps in the hope of understanding mankind's most complicated ally-and its most dangerous foe.
