Book Description
«Le vin de Mondavi, c'est du yaourt». Cette phrase a fait le tour du monde. La «Macdonaldisation» serait-elle en train de se propager dans un secteur du vin, de plus en plus mondialisé ? Ce livre raconte l'histoire de l'échec de l'implantation du producteur de vins californien Mondavi dans le village d'Aniane en Languedoc-Roussillon. Derrière le caractère «gaulois» de cette affaire, l'opposition entre vins industriels et vins du terroir devient l'illustration d'un affrontement plus global entre capitalisme «à l'anglo-saxonne» et corporatisme défensif «à la française». Une analyse sans parti-pris sur nos complexes d'Astérix.

Book Description
How has French society been made, by whom and why? And how in turn has it influenced the French? This book sets out the institutionalized rules and norms that continue to structure France, together with the ‘political work’ that has recently changed or reproduced these power relations. Exploring a range of age groups and types of social activity, including work, business, entertainment, political mobilizations and retirement, Made in France examines where significant change has occurred over the last four decades. Smith argues that while transformation has occurred in France's financial and education sectors, only relatively marginal shifts have occurred elsewhere in French society. To explain this pattern of continuity and isolated change, the book strongly nuances claims that neo-liberalism, globalization or a rise in populism have been its causes. References to these trends have impacted upon French politics to varying extents, Smith argues; however, France continues to be dominated by issues which are specific to the country and linked to its deep societal structures and history. Smith provides a comprehensive account of French society and politics and in doing so proposes an insightful analytical framework applicable to the comparative analysis of other nations.

Book Description
H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds is a work of creative genius, and in many respects we are still living today in the imaginative landscape that Wells shaped in this classic of early science fiction. This parallel text edition of The War of the Worlds will provide both a stimulating subject and simple reading pleasure for students of either French or English, and it will also be useful to more seasoned comparatists who are interested in pursuing a close study of the original and its French translation, presented in a conveniently accessible form.

Book Description
Terror and terroir investigates the Comité Régional d'Action Viticole (CRAV), a loose affiliation of militant winegrowers in the sun-drenched, southern vineyards of the Languedoc. Since 1961, they have fought to protect their livelihood. They were responsible for sabotage, bombings, hijackings and even the shooting of a policeman. Against the backdrop of European integration and decolonisation they have rallied around banners of Resistance and their strong Republican heritage, whilst their peasant protests fed into Occitan and anti-globalisation movements. At heart, however, the CRAV remain farmers championing the right of people to live and work the land. Between the romantic mythology of terroir, and the misguided, passionate violence of terror, this book unpicks the contentious issues of regionalism, protest and violence. It offers an insight into a neglected area of France's past that continues to impinge on its future, infused with one of the most potent symbols of French culture: wine.

Book Description
" Le vin de Mondavi, c'est du yaourt ". Cette phrase a fait le tour du monde. La " Macdonaldisation " serait-elle en train de se propager dans un secteur du vin, de plus en plus mondialisé ? Ce livre raconte une histoire forte : l'échec de l'implantation du producteur de vins californien Mondavi dans le village d'Aniane en Languedoc-Roussillon. Au départ, tout le monde semblait gagnant, les viticulteurs comme la région. Au terme d'une fronde anti-mondialisation, réunissant pêle-mêle écologistes, communistes, néo-ruraux et chasseurs, le Californien repartira tête basse, illustrant ainsi la " victoire " d'une France terrienne qui " résiste encore et toujours à l'envahisseur ". Derrière le caractère " gaulois " de cette affaire qui touche à la représentation culturelle et symbolique du vin, la force de ce livre est de mettre en scène de façon vivante les courants contradictoires qui traversent l'économie mondiale, en général, et la société française, en particulier. L'opposition entre vins industriels et vins du terroir devient l'illustration d'un affrontement plus global entre capitalisme " à l'anglo-saxonne " et corporatisme défensif " à la française ". Une analyse sans concession sur nos complexes d'Astérix.

Book Description
Here’s the inside scoop on the wine world. Globalization has pushed back the borders of the wine world, creating a complex, interconnected market where Old World and New World wines and producers compete head to head. Writing with wit and verve, Mike Veseth (a.k.a. the Wine Economist) tells the compelling story of the war between the market forces that are redrawing the world wine map and the terroirists who resist them. This is the battle for the future of wine—and for its soul. The fight isn't just over bottles bought and sold, however; power and taste are also at stake. Who will call the shots in the wine market of the future? Who will set the price? Whose palate will prevail? Veseth masterfully brings all of these questions together in the only book on the wine business written for all lovers of wine. Wine Wars II begins by exploring wine globalization, where readers follow “Missionaries, Migrants, and Market Reforms” to faraway New Zealand and learn how to unlock the secrets of their local retail “Wine Wall” by mastering the “DaVino Code.” Globalization brings a world of wine to our doorsteps. Commodification helps us make sense of the resulting embarrassment of riches, but at a cost. Readers must decide if they are Martians or Wagnerians, consider why “They Always Buy the Ten Cent Wine,” and then probe the puzzle of “Outlaws, Prisoners, and the Great Escape.” Who stands in the way of the global wine market's assault on wine's very soul? The“Revenge of the Terroirists!” Resistance is not futile, because 'We Are All Terroirists Now,” but that doesn't mean the future of wine is secure. A final section explores “Wine's Triple Crisis,” environmental crisis plus economic crisis, plus identity crisis. Taken together these crises pose the most serious threat to wine as we know and love it. Each section of Wine Wars II ends with a suggested wine tasting that invites readers to experience the book's ideas and arguments with all their senses by sampling a few carefully chosen wines. Can the soul of wine survive – and thrive – in this unfriendly environment? You'll have to read Wine Wars II to find out!
