Part of a series launched in 2003 (for a list of available and forthcoming titles, see www.vegoutguide.com), these vegetarian guides to Chicago and Denver/Salt Lake City include restaurants, fast-food joints, cafes, and salad bars along with appendixes that list juice bars and farmers' and natural markets. In addition to basic information such as address, web site, price, hours, and parking, the entries provided for each of the more than 140 restaurants listed in these 8 1/2" by 3 1/2" guidebooks also include a narrative describing the restaurant's ambience and its featured dishes, an overall rating from one to four stars, and the type of menu, from full-with vegetarian/vegan choices-to vegetarian or vegan only (fewer than 20 percent of the entries). The excellent narrative in particular will be useful in helping readers decide where to eat. A foldout map indicates the location of each establishment, but those unfamiliar with the city may have to consult a detailed street map. Recommended for public libraries located in or near the city covered.-John McCormick, Plymouth State Univ., NH Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

It uses simple terms without complicated chemical formulas and includes practical exercises supported by related theories.

Conceived as a handbook not only for the student but also for the practicing enologist confronted with day-to-day problems, Knowing and Making Wine gives each an opportunity to solve particular cases which arise, and guides the practitioner where there may be several possible solutions
