Book excerpt: A comprehensive guide to the must-know wines and producers of California's "new generation," and the story of the iconoclastic young winemakers who have changed the face of California viniculture in recent years. The New California Wine is the untold story of the California wine industry: the young, innovative producers who are rewriting the rules of contemporary winemaking; their quest to express the uniqueness of California terroir; and the continuing battle to move the state away from the overly-technocratic, reactionary practices of its recent past. Jon Bonné writes from the front lines of the California wine revolution, where he has access to the fascinating stories, philosophies, and techniques of top producers. Part narrative, part authoritative purchasing reference, The New California Wine is a necessary addition to any wine lover's bookshelf.

Book excerpt: When ruling a high-tech colony world of sensual pleasure isn't enough… When the colony's founder resolves to commit suicide… Desmond Park lets him succeed. While the colony's decadent elite schemes to fill the power vacuum and find meaning in their hollow lives, Desmond blazes a new path. Combining evolutionary theory, brain science, and ritual, Desmond forges a new religion that draws the colony's unhappy youth… …and raises hostile forces against him. The elite manipulate the colony's politics to marginalize Desmond and his followers. The corporation that dominates half the settled galaxy deploys intelligent robots and orbital weapons to monitor and destroy them. And forces within Desmond's movement—and within his own mind—threaten to topple them from within. Finally, men, women, and artificial intelligences collide in a conflict which could cost Desmond his life. A conflict which could deny freedom to millions of colonists. A conflict which could transform the destinies of billions of human beings across the galaxy and on Earth itself.

Today, however, punishing rents and the increasingly prohibitive cost of ownership have turned housing into the foremost symbol of inequality and an economy gone wrong. Nowhere is this more visible than in the San Francisco Bay Area, where fleets of private buses ferry software engineers past the tarp-and-plywood shanties of the homeless. The adage that California is a glimpse of the nation’s future has become a cautionary tale. With propulsive storytelling and ground-level reporting, New York Times journalist Conor Dougherty chronicles America’s housing crisis from its West Coast epicenter, peeling back the decades of history and economic forces that brought us here and taking readers inside the activist movements that have risen in tandem with housing costs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California doesn t need more lofty rhetoric about what a Dream place this state is. Our government is in crisis. The impartial Legislative Analysts Office projects multi-billion dollar deficits until at least 2015. Cynics say that Californians are too polarized, too diverse, and too burdened with a byzantine bureaucracy to come together to face this mountain. Yet our recurring deficit is only less than one percent of California s nearly two trillion dollar economy. And these cynics don t offer reasons so much as excuses. California today has a proud history, a stunning natural environment, and an unbelievably creative people that connects to every corner of the globe. Reflecting on the fractures that have flowed from the hyperidealistic California Dream of the past, Patrick Atwater shows how together we can harness those strengths to build a New California Dream focused on creating a better life for all Californians. In honor of his parents, twenty percent of the proceeds from the book will be donated to California schools through DonorsChoose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In a major reassessment of modern conservatism, historian Kathryn S. Olmsted reexamines the explosive labor disputes in the agricultural fields of Depression-era California, the cauldron that inspired a generation of artists and writers and that triggered the intervention of FDR's New Deal. Right Out of California tells how this brief moment of upheaval terrified business leaders into rethinking their relationship to American politics--a narrative that pits a ruthless generation of growers against a passionate cast of reformers, writers, and revolutionaries. Olmsted reveals how California's businessmen learned the language of populism with the help of allies in the media and entertainment industries, and in the process created a new style of politics: corporate funding of grassroots groups, military-style intelligence gathering against political enemies, professional campaign consultants, and alliances between religious and economic conservatives. The business leaders who battled for the hearts and minds of Depression-era California, moreover, would go on to create the organizations that launched the careers of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. A riveting history in its own right, Right Out of California is also a vital chapter in our nation's political transformation whose echoes are still felt today"--
