Combining witty words and provocative pictures Stuart Pigott explains why a single grape variety can make a soft, fruity wine on one side of the globe and a gutsy, ageworthy, wine on the other - showing how you too can taste the world in a glass of wine. Drawing on over 140 photographs, Planet Wine takes a simple, unique, visually evocative approach to describe how the major grape varieties taste - from Chardonnay to Merlot to Sangiovese - and gives the reasons behind why each makes different and distinctive styles of wine in different parts of the world.

For nearly thirty years, until his death in 1986, the well-known scholar, writer and broadcaster Glyn Daniel was editor of Antiquity, the influential review of archaeology. Under his guidance, it became a journal with a difference. In each issue the editor would air eloquently his decided views on matters not just archaeological -finds, hypotheses, personalities - but of interest or amusement to all: the pleasures of the French countryside, the follies of government policy, the five golden rules that a lecturer should observe. Here is a collection of the very best of these entertaining, often passionately written essays. Glyn Daniel's range was wide, his tastes eclectic; but he came back again and again to favourite themes - travel, national attitudes, Stonehenge, the return of the Elgin marbles, smuggling, forgery. Forgery especially fascinated him: 'I suppose', he wrote once, 'that it is my interest in reading and writing detective stories that rubs off onto the study of archaeological forgery.' He also enjoyed the spectacle of what he called 'bullshit archaeology', and loved to see those on the edge of the lunatic fringes of archaeology plunge headlong down the lush grass that leads to Atlantis and Tiahuanaco and by long straight green tracks to Glozel and the Druids at Stonehenge.' Writing for Antiquity presents Glyn Daniel exactly as he was - a man of letters, a brilliant raconteur and a wit. This is a volume to keep on one's bedside table, to read or dip into for amusement, enlightenment and the charm of the unexpected." - from the blurb. Indexed.
