An elegant and intellectual work, "The Book of Tea" was written in 1906 by Okakura Kakuzo, a brilliant Japanese man with an early education in English. Through his intimate knowledge of Japanese aesthetics and ability to effectively communicate them to a Western audience, Okakura is able to discuss 'Teaism' and its impact on Japanese culture, thought, and life in an informative and profound way. He develops this theory by explaining the history and universality of the tea ceremony, its inextricable connection to Taoism and Buddhism, and the importance of one's surroundings when taking tea. This essay expounds on simplicity, nature, and art, from paintings to flower arrangements, to architecture, and ends with an anecdote about one of the most famous tea masters, Sen no Rikyu. This eloquent work puts readers at ease as it explores beauty and imperfection, the subtleties of austerity, and the philosophies of monks, artists, and gardeners in 'the way of tea'. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

All the wine wisdom you need to flabbergast your friends,astound your associates,amaze your acquaintances,and dumbfound your dates.Overall, I think this book would be a good start for beginning wine enthusiasts, and also for those who are a bit further along in the wine life.For several years, I've been fortunate enough to be a wine writer and educator. My columns appear in weekly and monthly publications, and quite a few of them have piled up.As I looked over the topics I've covered - the wine grapes, the places they're grown, and the people who actually make wine - it occurred to me that if I put them all together, they'd collectively form a pretty decent overview of the wine world itself.
