Book Description
In sensual, dazzling language that ranges from lyrical heights to low comedy, Blue Bel Air leaps from the halls of science to urban blight, from fine dining to rummage sales, from thoughts of mass murder at a family picnic to a bacchanal on the shores of Lake Superior, from metaphysics to the dark cave of unreason and the insoluble ties of blood. Omnia vincit amor: Love conquers all. Does it? Omnia amans amens, this much seems sure: All lovers are demented. Sylvia Stenmark is a brilliant, troubled young woman whose accomplishments cannot compensate for a splintered family past and present. She works in the catacombs of a university laboratory complex, friend and executioner to radioactive mice. Bryce Fraser is a reporter who doesn't believe in facts. His past is haunted by the suicide of his father ("a full professor, a poet of small renown") seven years earlier. Carla, a cook, is Bryce's friend and Sylvia's high school classmate. When Sylvia unexpectedly resurfaces in Carla's life, and at the same time enters Bryce's life in a very different way, the forces of coincidence and fascination draw them together into a shifting triangle which will try the powers of friendship, loyalty, and love. On his first, odd date with Sylvia, Bryce comes away with Sylvia's grandmother's car, a 1962 Bel Air, and his fate becomes enmeshed for a time in the car's vintage machinery and in his own embrace of coincidence and the intuitive life that he strives to lead. The Blue Bel Air is a vehicle in many senses, a vehicle that Bryce can't quite seem to steer. Blue Bel Air is a novel that illuminates character with precision, humor, and brilliance. It ponders motive while refusing easy psychology, temperingrationality with the mysterious workings of what Bryce calls "the secret desire". It encompasses a richly textured world of love and betrayal, reason and imagination, heartbreak and joy.

Book Description
The spectacular science behind champagne's effervescence Uncorked quenches our curiosity about the inner workings of one of the world's most prized beverages. Esteemed for its freshness, vitality, and sensuality, champagne is a wine of great complexity. Mysteries aplenty gush forth with the popping of that cork. Just what is that fizz? Can you judge champagne quality by how big the bubbles are, how long they last, or how they behave before they fade? And why does serving champagne in a long-stemmed flute prolong its chill and effervescence? Through lively prose and a wealth of state-of-the-art photos, this revised edition of Uncorked unlocks the door to what champagne is all about. Providing an unprecedented close-up view of the beauty in the bubbles, Gérard Liger-Belair presents images that look surprisingly like lovely flowers, geometric patterns, even galaxies as the bubbles rise through the glass and burst forth on the surface. He illustrates how bubbles form not on the glass itself but are "born" out of debris stuck on the glass wall, how they rise, and how they pop. Offering a colorful history of champagne, Liger-Belair tells us how it is made and he asks if global warming could spell champagne's demise. In a brand-new afterword, he updates the reader on new developments in the world of bubble science and delves even more deeply into the processes that give champagne its unique and beautiful character. Bubbly may tickle the nose, but Uncorked tackles what the nose and the naked eye cannot—the spectacular science that gives champagne its charm and champagne drinkers immeasurable pleasure.
