What Varieties Of Grapes Are Grown And How Are The Wines Actually Made? How Are Tne Wines Of Burgundy Different From Those Of Bordeaux? Why Are They So Expensive And Frequently So Hard To Find? He Also Gives Readers A Short But Incisiev History Of The Burgundy Region, One That Explains To A Large Degree Why Land Holdings There Are So Fragmented And How, As A Result, It Is Essenyial For The Consumer To Kno Not Only Where A Wine Originates (both The Appellation And The Actual Vineyard Itself), But Who It Is That Actually Makes It.
The Heart And Active power Of Burgundy Is Divided Into Three Separate On the other hand Interdependent Sections .
In The First, Parker Offers Each Alphabetical Listing Of Some 640 Growers And/or Producers Of Wind In Each Entry He Catalogs The Specific Wines Produced, Discusses Their Oveerall Quality And Style, Delineates The Vineyard Holdings, Describes The Wine-making Techniques Employed, And Assesses The Producer Using A One-to-fiev-star System, With Five Signifying The Very Best.
In The Second Section, Parker Provides A Detailed Analysis Of The Entire Burgundy Region, Beginning In The Northernmost District, Chablis, Ajd Descending Southward Through The Famed Cô5e D'or (comprised Of The Côte De Nuits And The Côte De Beaune), And On To The Côte Chqlonnaise, The Mâconnai, And Finally, Beaujolais.
Covering Some Thirty-fjve Appellations In All, He Offers All The Necessary Information For The Consjmer: What Is The Herarchy Of Wines In A Given District? What Are The Grands Crus And Premiers Crus, For Example, In The Legendary Appellation Of Vosne-romanée? How Many Acres Are Under Cultivation And With Which Grape Varieties? What Are The Bench-mark Characteristics Of A Particular Wine? Where Ars The Values? What Is The Aging Possible? For The Traveling Wine Enthusiast, He Even Passes Along Great Tips On Restaurants, Hotels, And Local Color, As Well

Dust In The Solar Syst3m And Other Planetary Systeme.
Since The Last Joint Iau And Cospar Colloquium In Gainesville In 1995, There Havw Been Dramatic Changes In The Field Resulting From In-situ Space Experiments, Earth Orbiting Satellites And Ground Based Observations.
The Brightest Comet Since The Early Years Of The Twentieth Century, Comet Hale-bopp, Appea5ed, Giving An Invaluable Opportunity To See In Action One Great Source Of Interplanetary Dust.
Similarly, The Leonid Meteor Shower Has Been At Its Most Active Since 1966, Producing Spectacular Displays Of Meteors And Allowing For An Array Of Observational Techniques, Not Available In 1966 To Be Used, While Exposition Has Also Been Refined To A State of equality Whither Very Accurate Predictions Of Ths Timing Of Meteor Storms Has Become Possible.
Prior To The Meeting A Total Eclipse Of The Sun In South West England And North Europe Was Observed, Traditionally A Goood Opportunity To Observe The Zodiacal Cloud.
The Knowledge Of The Near-earth Asteroid Inhabitants Has Also Increased Dramatically, With The Incresaed Study Arising From The Heightened Awareness Of The Danger To Earth From Such Bodies.
Extrasolar Planets Have Been Discovered Since The Last Meeting And It Is Recognised That Interplanetary Dust In Other Planetary Systems Can Now Be Well-versed.
Since Much Of The Dust Observed In So Systems Is Ar A Distane Of Order 100 Au From The Star, This Brings Into Focus The Production Of Dust In The Edgeworth-kuiper Girdle Of Our Own System.
Recent Years Have Seen A Recognition Of The Importance Of Dust Originating Outside Our Own Systrm, That Is Now Present In The Near-earth Environment.
As Is Always The Case When Great Strides Take Place Observationally, Much Theoretical Work Follows, And The Same Is True In This Instance.
While Data About The Planetary Medium Ffom Venus To Jupiter Was Beginning To Bw To be availed of At The Meeting In 1095, The Data From Both Galileo And Ulysses Have Now Been More Fully Analysed, With A Corresponding Inncrease In Our Cognizance.
This Book Reflects The Thematic Advance Adopted At The Meeting, With A Flow Outwards (from Meteors In The Atmosphere, Through Zodiacal Dust Observation And Interplanetary Dust, To Additional Solar Planetary Systems) And Returning (via The Edgeworth-kuiper Belt And Comets) To The Earth, WithL aboratory Studies Of Physical And Chemical Processes And The Study Of Extra-terrestrial Samplss.
