Virtually ignored throughout its 2000 year history, the architecture of wine growing estates gained a dramatic new level of awareness in 1988 when the Centre Georges Pompidou mounted an exhibition "Chateaux of Bordeaux". It's focus was the 'architecture of wine' and it became the catalyst of a stimulating international discussion of wine and wine culture. The Architecture of Wine takes this discussion into the 21st Century, exploring the majestic, sometimes exotic architectural styles of the finest wineries in Bordeaux and the Napa Valley. The contrasts are fascinating. This beautiful book reveals how the architects of the Bordeaux region distinguish themselves in the continuity of tradition, while the architects of the Napa Valley have chosen a reductionist path. Herzog & de Meuron's design for the Dominus Estate, for example, rivals the best architecture in America since Mies van der Rohe. Each vineyard and winery is presented in a series of superb photographs showing both interiors and exteriors. An extensive index lists the architects for each project, geographic locations, types of wine produced, and guided tour schedules.

Stevan M. Weine is a psychiatrist who has spent the past decade working with Bosnian survivors of ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia. As he listened to their testimonies, Weine concluded that these narratives were capable of bearing a complex truth about the horrific events in Yugoslavia that often were lost in more analytic works on the subject. When History is a Nightmare also explores how these traumatic events affected not just individuals, but an entire society and its culture. Weine investigates the survivors’ attempts to reconcile the contrasting, collective memories of having lived in a smoothly functioning, multiethnic society with the later memories of the ethnic atrocities. He discusses the little-known group concept of merhamet. Denoting compassion, forgiveness, and charity, merhamet was a critical cultural value for the Bosnian Muslims. Weine also explores how ethnic cleansing was justified from the vantage point of psychiatrists who played prominent roles in instigating the horrors. He also provides personal portraits of leaders such as Jovan Raskovic and Radovan Karadzic. He concludes by describing the recovery efforts of survivors—how they work to confront the destructive nature of their memories while trying to bring about healing, both individually and collectively.
