Download or read book Wine to Water written by Doc Hendley and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-12-31 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The captivating story of an ordinary bartender turned humanitarian who’s changing the world through clean water. Doc Hendley never set out to be a hero. A small-town bartender, Doc loved his Harley, music, and booze. Then he learned about the world’s water crisis, and decided to help by hosting fundraisers. But he wanted to do more and soon found himself traveling to one of the world’s most dangerous hot spots: Darfur, Sudan. Doc was immediately cast into a crisis zone. The Sudanese government was wiping out entire villages through horrific state-sponsored genocide—and one of the chief weapons was water. By dumping corpses in water sources and shooting up water bladders, Janjaweed terrorists doomed hundreds of thousands of citizens to dehydration, disease, and death. At just twenty-five years old, Doc was inexperienced, untrained, and in constant danger—but he stepped up to save lives. Alternatively begging international organizations for funding and dodging trigger-happy Janjaweed, Doc began drilling and repairing wells, bringing drinking water to those who desperately needed it. Wine to Water is his story about braving tribal warfare in far-flung regions of the world, and an inspirational tale of how one ordinary person can make a difference.
Download or read book Playing with Wine written by Greg Gonzalez and published by Laugh Line Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-06 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wine is too good to be taken so seriously. Don't waste your time pairing food with the appropriate wine. Stop worrying if there is enough oxygen in the room for the wine to breathe. Should you panic and call the paramedics? Should you give it "mouth to mouth?" Maybe you should just cool it or rather, chill it. This book was written for wine lovers with a sense of humor. Instead of food, wine is paired with activities such as preparing your taxes, working on cars, and bathing the dog. It is both sophisticated and corny. A Robert Mondavi meets Dr. Seuss kind of book. The glossary of wine terms is refreshingly creative. For example, "earthy" is defined as a person who tastes wine while wearing Birkenstock sandals. "Aroma" is a kind of tomato. You also get to meet the grapes in a different and playful way. There are red ones, white ones, and pink ones. Celebrate diversity even with wine. Included in the book are useful wine tips such as using white wine to clean up a red wine spill on carpet. A better tip advises against using red wine to clean up a white wine spill. Wine should be enjoyed and played with. So go ahead and Play With Wine. It is best shared with someone. Remember to read responsibly.

Download or read book Playing Dirty in Alaska written by Samanthe Beck and published by Entangled: Amara. This book was released on 2022-01-17 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bush pilot Bridget Shanahan runs from responsibility like a child runs from a dentist appointment, but when her brother leaves the family’s airfield in her hands, she knows it’s time to step up and behave like a Responsible AdultTM. So of course that’s when Archer Ellison III blows into her tiny town of Captivity, Alaska, every inch the hot-as-hell mistake that most definitely belongs in her past. Been there, done that, and didn’t even get to keep the commemorative sweatshirt. Archer has only ever had two goals. Now that he’s built his own empire outside his father’s company, he can move on to goal #2—winning back the one who got away by whatever means necessary. He knows it won’t be easy. Bridget Shanahan is older, wiser, more self-assured, and jaw-droppingly stunning...and doing everything she can to pretend the scorching chemistry between them doesn’t exist. But fate is on his side. After an impulsive bet that would have sent Archer packing goes awry, Bridget is officially stuck with him. Which is really inconvenient, since falling for Archer again is the least responsible thing she could do.
Download or read book The Wine Lover s Daughter written by Anne Fadiman and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Wine Lover’s Daughter, Anne Fadiman examines—with all her characteristic wit and feeling—her relationship with her father, Clifton Fadiman, a renowned literary critic, editor, and radio host whose greatest love was wine. An appreciation of wine—along with a plummy upper-crust accent, expensive suits, and an encyclopedic knowledge of Western literature—was an essential element of Clifton Fadiman’s escape from lower-middle-class Brooklyn to swanky Manhattan. But wine was not just a class-vaulting accessory; it was an object of ardent desire. The Wine Lover’s Daughter traces the arc of a man’s infatuation from the glass of cheap Graves he drank in Paris in 1927; through the Château Lafite-Rothschild 1904 he drank to celebrate his eightieth birthday, when he and the bottle were exactly the same age; to the wines that sustained him in his last years, when he was blind but still buoyed, as always, by hedonism. Wine is the spine of this touching memoir; the life and character of Fadiman’s father, along with her relationship with him and her own less ardent relationship with wine, are the flesh. The Wine Lover’s Daughter is a poignant exploration of love, ambition, class, family, and the pleasures of the palate by one of our finest essayists.

This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 2860 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully edited collection of "THE COMPLETE SHORT STORIES OF NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE (Illustrated)” has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Excerpts: "I am afraid this ghost story will bear a very faded aspect when transferred to paper. Whatever effect it had on you, or whatever charm it retains in your memory, is, perhaps, to be attributed to the favorable circumstances under which it was originally told.” (The Ghost of Doctor Harris) American novelist and short story writer Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) published his first work, a novel titled Fanshawe, in 1828; he later tried to suppress it, feeling it was not equal to the standard of his later work. He published several short stories in various periodicals, which he collected in 1837 as Twice-Told Tales. Much of Hawthorne's writing centres on New England, many works featuring moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered to be part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, Dark romanticism. His themes often centre on the inherent evil and sin of humanity, and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity.

Download or read book Field Blends written by Andrew D. Welch and published by Koehler Books. This book was released on 2020-05-31 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We three laughed together and spoke of wine and politics and sex and love and Europe and America and the world turned upside down." Field Blends is a story of the world as it is today, contemplating the intersection of modernity, technology, culture, and the people, pasts, and communities that give each of us roots. In socially and civically trying times, Field Blends follows an odd group of twenty and thirty-somethings from around the world as they meander through Europe, dropping in and out of one another's journeys, before returning to New York only to be faced with heartbreak that none of them expected. Against the backdrop of an ever-changing world, Field Blends seeks reconciliation of life amongst the monuments, hideaways, and progressive thought of great American and European cities with the memories of hometowns, mother countries, and family. It is both joyful of the world's beauties and melancholy of its present failures.
