Wine itself is a history of science and art. It is the subject of this book, to which Miguel Torres has dedicated so much time and care. He has traveled widely and is an experienced taster, has never lost sight of the fact that to make wine of quality and character one must first establish a vineyard worthy of it. This is what he has done in the magnificent region of the Penedes, where experimentation is the watch word. In a modern and well planned bodega, he carries out the vinification and maturation of his wines both with sound judgement and with the enjoyment of one who takes pride in work well-done, constantly seeking to improve them.

Crucible tells the tale of a young man named Tony who grew up on the city streets of Brooklyn. Tony’s background is one of an absentee father and mother who were in and out of his life. So many of the life lessons he should have gotten by way of example were absent as well. Lessons like, forgiveness, grace, mercy and most of all love and how to make it work. His picture was murky at best. Having seen far more examples of what NOT TO DO, he was at a loss when he became an adult as to how to make all of the relationships in his life permanent without all the venom, the adult from his childhood, carried. This is a tale of a man who went out into the world in search of this thing he had sought unsuccessfully his entire life - LOVE. It is here the tale is drawn. That life long journey to love from all the wounded places of our eternal hearts. How to love, live and prosper through all the bags we carry. All the predetermined bad programming our extended families and parents leave us with. HE NEEDED TO DEFINE love before he could find it. He needed to define it in a working place FOR HIMSELF. Because if he didn’t FEEL IT, it wasn’t real for him. Would he be able to persevere through those questions and maintain that blessing once he found it? Was it LOVE truly? And if it was, the REAL QUESTION WAS, HOW WOULD HE EVER KEEP IT AS BROKEN AS HE WAS?

Seville: Through the Urban Void (Built Environment City Studies)

Recent years have seen a growing interest in undetermined and unqualified urban spaces. Understanding cities as spaces for encounter, conflict and otherness, this book argues that this indeterminacy is not marginal but a key characteristic of urban space, and degrees of liberty foster change, creativity, and political action. The urban void is a conceptual construct that aims to render a principle of absence apprehensible, and to describe how it intervenes in place-making in the city. Seville: Through the Urban Void build mostly upon Henri Lefebvre's work using concepts drawn on the social sciences, in order to articulate a biographic narrative of the Alameda de Hércules in Seville, Spain, which stands both as an outstanding instance of urban space and a very influential urban type. During its long historical span the Alameda has undergone alternating periods of decline and development, revealing the relations between successive urban paradigms and ideas of nature, territory, and the people. For the first time its whole history is told in a single account, which adds new perspectives to its understanding, and brings forward formerly disregarded aspects. This book shows how its liminal nature, which stubbornly persists over time, creates the conditions for creative processes.
