Wine Q. & A. is a different sort of wine appreciation book. Its author understands that a good number of people who read wine books do so simply because they want to know more than their friends do about the subject. And he believes that the ideal learning tool should engage all levels of interest. Presented in a question-and-answer, Trivial-Pursuit-stye format, author and lifelong wine consultant Gordon Sullivan takes a completely novel approach to wine learning. Wine Q. & A. is source material for both cocktail-chatter and deep study; it is as light or as heavy as the goals of the reader.Wine Q. & A. is designed to introduce readers to crucial characteristics of wine-its appreciation, its industry, its culture and history-by presenting à la carte nuggets of wine knowledge, key words and essential phrases in this easily digestible, "trivial," form. That's what makes its easy style effective and fun.

Creators of immersive experiences in virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality have relied heavily on familiar storytelling techniques used in books, theatre, and film -- often with confusing and unengaging results. Stephanie Riggs argues in The End of Storytelling that in order to develop powerful stories in these emerging mediums, we need nothing short of a paradigm shift in how we approach and conceptualize immersive narratives. Beautifully designed and explosively written, this book will help you better understand how to approach the exciting medium and get your next immersive project off the ground by explaining: Why storytelling doesn't work The fundamental narrative building blocks that do work How to think immersively A blueprint for developing your next immersive project The End of Storytelling is informed by over two decades of work in both immersive and classical mediums, and is rich with examples, inspiration, and challenges for anyone interested in, or currently developing, effective immersive experiences. Its symphonic exploration presents fascinating context of our relationship to storytelling, and a practical model for building the future of narrative.

A world-renowned cardiac surgeon and researcher reveals proven treatments for heart diseases - are not being used by the medical community.Solving the Mysteries of Heart Disease describes the passionate lifelong journey of Dr. Gerald Buckberg, whose early discoveries have already helped save the lives of 25,000,000 heart disease patients. Yet Buckberg and his teams have pioneered additional advances that may save millions more - advances that are being ignored by the medical establishment. These include breakthroughs that reverse congestive heart failure, treat sudden death/cardiac arrest with 80% survival (compared to the current rate of 15%), avoid heart muscle damage after an acute heart attack (that can lead to heart failure), and significantly improve effectiveness of pacemakers. Few families are untouched by one of these or the other conditions described in this book. A Distinguished Professor of Surgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Dr. Buckberg's initial landmark research dramatically transformed high-risk open heart operations into the routine procedures they are today. Over 85% of cardiac surgeons in the United States use his techniques. So why haven't his team's subsequent groundbreaking discoveries yet been adopted as standard practice? The personal story of a relentless quest to solve problems long thought insurmountable, Solving the Mysteries of Heart Disease tells of triumphs over formidable odds and initial failures. It provides a deep understanding of how the heart works and what happens when things go wrong. At the same time, Buckberg exposes why the medical field has been too slow to adopt treatments proven effective in patients in the U.S. and internationally - remedies that could create a revolution in healthcare.
