The Vineyard at the End of the World: Maverick Winemakers and the Rebirth of Malbec , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 568min

As wine connoisseurs know, Argentine wine was once famously bad. The grapes were overwatered, harvested in brutal heat, fermented in enormous cement pools, aged in antiquated oak vats, and then watered down and adulterated. The final product was industrial plonk, drinkable only on ice. But in 2001, a Cabernet Sauvignon / Malbec blend beat Napa and Bordeaux’s finest in a blind taste test. Suddenly, Argentina emerged as a premier wine region with a champion varietal - what best-selling author Benjamin Wallace calls "the humble Malbec". How did this happen? Ian Mount’s vivid journey through Argentina’s Wild West explores the alchemy of weather, soil, and viticulture techniques that, on rare occasions, produce a legendary bottle of wine. He also investigates the dynamics of taste, status, and money that turned Malbec into a worldwide phenomenon. Profiling the larger-than-life figures who fueled the Malbec revolution - including celebrity oenologist Michel Rolland, acclaimed American winemaker Paul Hobbs, and the Mondavi-esque Catena family - Mount describes in colorful detail the brilliant innovations and backroom politics that put Malbec on the map. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the snow-capped Andes and Mendoza’s sweeping plains, The Vineyard at the End of the World tells the fascinating 400-year story of how a wine mecca arose in the Argentine desert. It is at once a sumptuous travel narrative, a riveting history of a fascinating region, and an intriguing business story in which a small group of passionate vintners remade their world. ungekürzt.

Toxicity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 894min

In the tradition of The Stand, The Man in the High Castle, and The Road comes an epic story of struggle against tyranny in a future America.... The year is 2141. Islam controls most of the civilized world, including all that exists of the former United States. Climate change has made fresh drinking water a scarce and valuable commodity. Islamic states that once controlled oil now control the largest fresh water deposit in the world, the American Great Lakes. Washington, D.C., and New York City are mere memories of the old world as a new regime of Caliphs has ruled the eastern half of the country for the past century. The barren no-man's-land east of the Mississippi River is but an encroaching desert, and the realm of the Great Lakes - known as Al-hayat Miyaah - dictates life for the rest of the realm. Jihadic allegiance and the Lakes' bounty decide a person's worth, where clean, drinkable water is far more precious than gold... and more valuable than the lives of infidels. In this hostile environment, Joaquin Martinez and six others risk certain death as fugitives crossing state lines to reclaim loved ones stolen from Hernando, Mississippi, and sold into slavery in Detroit. Meanwhile, survivalist Malcolm Foster and his daughter Renee begin a journey to Kentucky with other survivalists hoping to strike a blow to the Muslim empire. Lastly, in the heart of Al-hayat Miyaah, the youngest son of the Caliph, Abdul-Bari, sets out on a quest to determine the truth about infidels... their worthiness of scorn and indiscriminate death. Much is at stake for them all, as a crossing of paths determines who inevitably is destined to win... and who must lose everything. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Timothy McKean.

Miracle at Quecreek Mine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 132min

This is a true American story, a factual account of a string of miraculous events that saved lives and uplifted a nation, as told through the eyes of the dairy farmer who had a front-row seat to the Miracle at Quecreek Mine.When Bill Arnold grabbed his Colt .45 and ran out to the tool shed at Dormel Farms near midnight on July 23, 2002, he thought he would be chasing off a would-be thief. Instead, he encountered two surveyors, friends of his. "Billy, there's been an accident in the mine, and there's nine men missing. We think they're trapped under your farm."After unwittingly breaking through a three-foot-thick coal seam separating them from millions of gallons of water that had built up in an unmapped section of a long-abandoned mine, nine miners struggled in the dark to stay alive 240 feet below Dormel Farms. A never-ending torrent of muddy, debris-filled water strong enough to carry heavy equipment quickly flooded their only escape, soaking their clothes and trapping them in the cold belly of the mine with no way to communicate, one lunch pail of half-eaten food, and almost no drinkable water. Above ground, Bill and a growing number of rescuers struggled to find a way to locate and reach them. What happened next ignited the nation and the world, hungry for some good news after the loss of so many lives on 9/11. In a cruel twist of irony, media from around the world found themselves descending on the same little town that just 10 months earlier had endured the aftermath of a national tragedy, the crash of United Flight 93, just a few minutes away and in the same rolling farmland of Somerset County, Pennsylvania.In the end, it wasn't the power of technology, of a massive amount of manpower and equipment, of the governor of Pennsylvania, the US Military, nor even the president of the United States that saved those nine men, though all did their part. Instead, all would later admit - in fact, none could deny - it was the power of God ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joseph Cullen Brown.

The Between Times , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 153min

In the days when the corporations rule the world, the middle class is gone and the cities are divided into upper and lower towns. The upper towns are domed to protect the rich from the foul air that permeates the world, from the waste that fills the air, and fumes that blacken the sky from the smoke stacks of the factories. The water is heavily rationed in the lower towns and barely drinkable, so fouled by the chemicals that fill the rivers and springs. While in the upper town the water is purified even in the fountains and swimming pools that grace the world of the high and mighty. The shops, boutiques, restaurants, and museums are crowded in the upper town, music can be heard everywhere, and the flowers grow tall and beautiful. While the people of the lower towns work six days a week, in 16- to 18-hour shifts. There one day of is Sunday, it is then that the men and young boys must be found in church, while the women and girls are kept at home, for they are considered to be beasts for breeding and less important than the animals that grace the zoos of the upper towns. Food is scarce in the lower town and the only market is the company store. The world has stepped back into the dark ages. Nearly all hope is gone to those not born into wealth and only the prophecy that one day a young woman will come who can control the magic of the between times keeps the poor going. It is said she will be able to pull on the energy of all those who are of like mind, wrap that energy together and send it into the world to remake it. Marta Moran Bishop takes the listener through a possible future.Unlike Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984, or Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, The Between Times is not based on the government "Big Brother", but rather it is written using a recent ruling by the Supreme Court that says corporations are people. ungekürzt.

BEER RECIPES COLLECTION

So you've decided to make your own beer at home. Congratulations! You're about to engage in a wondrous and rewarding task almost as old as humanity itself. But there's no reason to be intimidated. Although people have been brewing beer for millennia, the basic process has remained much the same through the ages. This e-book will discuss some of the simplest recipes to try out at home. For your first few beers, it's wise to start with a kit: the cans or cartons of thick, sticky syrup that you mix with water and ferment in a bucket. Feel free to jump straight in and purchase the extra stuff you need to make a batch from scratch, but there are a few reasons to keep things as simple as possible for the first few batches. Plenty of work goes into designing kit beers, and they tend to create beers that are classical for the style. Most kits have the potential to give you very good beer indeed - because of this, combined with their low cost, many people are happy never to progress to all-grain brewing. There are far fewer processes involved in making a kit beer, and therefore there are fewer parts that can go wrong. This leads to a better chance of having good, drinkable beer a couple of weeks down the line. Kit beers will give you a chance to practice some of the key skills involved in brewing an all-grain beer. Critically, you will have to get used to sanitary workflow - anything that touches the beer must be cleaned and then sanitized beforehand. The only problem with kits tends to be their flawed instructions. Throw them away, and follow these instead. They may seem overly comprehensive: this is intentional. I want to introduce you to good brewing practices that will help you further down the line. Start as you mean to go on. Take your time. You'll be fine. In your kit, you'll have a tin of hopped extract and yeast. They'll win you with phrases like 'just add sugar and water'. If you want average beer, use their instructions. But the next chapter will guide you towards truly great beer from these same cheap kits. This is everything you need to know to make the perfect kit beer: ¿ Hopped malt extract ¿ Dried yeast ¿ Sugar & dried malt extract ¿ Water ¿ Hops Let's get started!
