How to Love Wine
For many people, wine is an anxiety-inducing mystery as arcane as quantum physics, and with so many varieties, it's difficult to know what to choose. As New York Times wine critic Eric Asimov argues, that puzzling uncertainty often prevents people from buying and ordering wine, depriving them of an exquisite, deeply satisfying experience. In How to Love Wine, Asimov examines why the American wine culture produces such feelings of anxiety and suggests how readers can overcome their fears and develop a sense of discovery and wonder as they explore the diversity and complexity of the world of wine. With warmth, candor, and intelligent authority, Asimov interweaves his professional knowledge and insights with engaging personal stories of his love affair with wine, a lifelong passion that began when he was a graduate student on a budget. In a direct, down-to-earth manner, Asimov discusses favorite vineyards, wine's singular personalities, the tyranny of tasting notes -those meaningless,

Jag, Robot
Isaac Asimovs kultförklarade science fiction-klassiker Jag, robot från 1950 är läst över hela världen. Nu kommer den i en ny efterlängtad utgåva.1. En robot får inte skada en människa eller genom underlåtelse att handla tillåta att en människa skadas.2. En robot måste lyda de befallningar som den mottar från människor, med undantag av sådana fall då dylika befallningar kommer i konflikt med den första lagen.3. En robot måste skydda sin egen existens, förutsatt att detta icke medför brott mot den första eller andra lagen.Så lyder robotologins tre lagar som är grunden för att människan och maskinen ska kunna existera fredligt sida vid sida. Men konflikter uppstår mellan lagarna, och robotpsykologen Susan Calvin på Amerikanska Aktiebolaget Robotar och Mekaniska Människor tvingas använda sig av hela sitt kunnande för att förhindra en katastrof för mänskligheten.Jag, robot kan utan överdrift sägas ha inspirerat så gott som alla efterföljande böcker och filmer i genren, som Bladerunner och Terminator för att bara nämna några.
