Amy Stewart is the award-winning author of six books on the perils and pleasures of the natural world, including four New York Times bestsellers, The Drunken Botanist, Wicked Bugs, Wicked Plants, and Flower Confidential. She lives in Eureka, California, where she and her husband own an antiquarian bookstore called Eureka Books and tend a flock of unruly hens in their backyard. She has spent the last few years on arduous research trips through the world's distilleries, wineries, and bars for her latest book, The Drunken Botanist.
She has written for the New York Times, the Washington Post, and many other newspapers and magazines, and has appeared frequently on National Public Radio, CBS Sunday Morning, and--just once--on TLC's Cake Boss. She is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, the American Horticulture Society's Book Award, and a California Horticultural Society Writer's Award.
A New York Times Bestseller
Sake began with a grain of rice. Scotch emerged from barley, tequila from agave, rum from sugarcane, bourbon from corn. Thirsty yet? In The Drunken Botanist, Amy Stewart explores the dizzying array of herbs, flowers, trees, fruits, and fungi that humans have, through ingenuity, inspiration, and sheer desperation, contrived to transform into alcohol over the centuries.
Of all the extraordinary and obscure plants that have been fermented and distilled, a few are dangerous, some are downright bizarre, and one is as ancient as dinosaurs--but each represents a unique cultural contribution to our global drinking traditions and our history.
This fascinating concoction of biology, chemistry, history, etymology, and mixology--with more than fifty drink recipes and growing tips for gardeners--will make you the most popular guest at any cocktail party.
拿起《醉酒的植物学家》,就像拿起一本厚厚的博物志,全书一共收录了160种植物,描绘了它们从打浆桶、蒸馏器、酒瓶直到玻璃杯的旅程。这是一个相当宏大的主题,自然界中能用来酿酒的植物何止千万,作者艾米·斯图尔特站在植物学的角度,抽丝剥茧地分析一款款酒的历史渊源、植物...
评分满满当当一大厚本,足足啃了6天,小纸条写了有全书的1/10厚。知识点超级丰富,往目录里打字时才发现是以前《地下工作者:蚯蚓的故事》的同一女作者Amy Stuart,一直觉得这个妹纸在植物学领域的博学程度简直可怕。果不其然,再翻目录,又发现了还有一本她的著作,于是立刻拆开来...

信息量十足的博物志。从酿酒的基础原料、增添风味的香料以及点缀辅料三个方面介绍了涉及谷物、草木、花果等百种植物的特点、趣闻以及历史。即使存在晦涩的生化类专有名词,也无法削减阅读/摘记此书的热情。推荐阅读原版:一来英文名词对将来的实践更为实用;二来对比译制版本,原版的排版也更为美观。
评分从植物的角度写酒,非常好玩,读过之后再喝纯饮会努力想喝到原料的味道哈哈,嗯慢慢体会鸡尾酒的配方。不过内容还是比较浅,需要单独看每一种酒的书
评分了解下酿酒的过程还不错 也算植物酿酒百科全书 但这本书面向的是对植物或者酒非常感兴趣的读者 我兴趣没那么大所以读到后面就不行了
评分从品种和人文历史多个方面介绍各种植物酿酒。行文幽默,非常有趣的题材和叙述。如果本身是调酒爱好者,书里还有或经典或奇趣的配方。
评分不喜欢抖机灵
