¿SABES QUÉ CONTIENE LO QUE TE ESTÁS BEBIENDO?

«Una fabulosa guía de conocimientos botánicos para los amantes de los cócteles.» --Kirkus Reviews

El sake nació del grano del arroz, el whisky escocés surgió de la cebada, el tequila del agave, el ron de la caña de azúcar, el bourbon del maíz... Amy Stewart explora aquí la vertiginosa variedad de hierbas, flores, árboles, frutas y hongos que los seres humanos, gracias al ingenio, la inspiración o la desesperación, han logrado transformar en alcohol. De todas las plantas extraordinarias y misteriosas que se han fermentado y destilado, algunas son peligrosas, otras son absolutamente sorprendentes y una es tan antigua como los dinosaurios, pero todas han contribuido de una forma definitiva a nuestras tradiciones y nuestra historia.

Con más de cincuenta recetas de bebidas y consejos de cultivo para amantes de la jardinería, esta obra, fascinante mezcla de biología, química, historia y coctelería, es el invitado imprescindible en cualquier reunión social o familiar, donde no faltan las mejores recetas para preparar los cócteles más especiales, desde un Margarita clásico hasta un Manhattan, un Cóctel de vermut, un Café irlandés de Buena Vista o un Negroni, entre muchos otros.

Considerado uno de los libros más destacados de no ficción del año 2013, traducido a numerosos idiomas y galardonado con varios premios, Botánica para cócteles, ahora en un formato más manejable, se ha convertido, una década después de su publicación original, en un long-seller que no ha dejado de suscitar admiración y ganar nuevos lectores en todo el mundo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The New York Times-bestselling guide to botany and booze celebrates its 10th anniversary with an updated edition--now including a guide to planting your very own cocktail garden to go with more than fifty drink recipes. This fascinating, go-to text about the plants that make our drinks is the ideal gift book for every cocktail aficionado, the perfect drinks book for every plant-lover.

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 charming concoction of biology, chemistry, history, etymology, and mixology--with delightful drawings, tasty cocktail recipes, and fun factoids throughout--will make you the most popular guest at any cocktail party.

"A book that makes familiar drinks seem new again . . . Through this horticultural lens, a mixed drink becomes a cornucopia of plants."--NPR's Morning Edition

"Amy Stewart has a way of making gardening seem exciting, even a little dangerous." --The New York Times

Perfect for laptops, tablets, Remarkables, Kindles - you name it! This dock is perfect!
Color: Black Walnut, Color: Black Walnut
Coming across UPERGO has been a blessing. To find items of this caliber without having to pay a mortgage payment on it is a lifesaver. It truly is, and I have found that based on my desk setups in my office, UPERGO has not let me down with any of their products. I had already previously owned a UPERGO Vertical Laptop stand. I use that one for my productivity desk for my work laptop and my personal gaming laptop. So, I knew its quality was legitimately top notch already. The problem I ran into was a workflow issue. I have four portable devices that I carry every day at some point: Microsoft Surface Pro 13", Remarkable Paper Pro, Remarkable Paper Pro Move, and a Kindle Colorsoft. The problem is that I did not want to keep them inside the desk drawer that I use. So, I need something to help save some space on my desk and sort of dock these items when there were not in use. I set one on each opposite side of my desk and that worked out perfectly. I was able to save desk space but also add a bit of protection for these devices. I could adjust the slots, if needed, but it worked out just fine. And the material inside gripped these devices perfectly. Once again, UPERGO has been able to build a product that fit ideally into my use-case. This time, albeit in a slightly different manner, but it was exactly what I was looking for.

Surprisingly Amazing!
Color: Walnut, Color: Walnut
I bought this expecting it to be a cheaper product I would use until I bought something better. I was very surprised to see how nice it was! Very solid and non slip surface on the bottom. The wood on it looks great and one of the most awesome things about it is you can manually adjust it to fit your laptop. I have a heavy16 inch MacBook Pro with a case on it and it fits perfectly in this stand, after adjusting it, of course. I ended up buying another one for my work office too. I can’t wait to try other products from this company.

INCREASED DESK SPACE - ORGANIZED
Color: Walnut, Color: Walnut
I just received my new Vertical Laptop Stand by UPERGO! I had no idea that this device could free up so much space on my desk! AND, it looks great, very rich & professional with the solid wood, Walnut dividers. It has solid weight so your laptops won't just tumble or slide away either. The dividers that hold up to 2 laptops will also hold your cell phone. What an clever invention by UPERGO! I am now able to keep both of my laptops in the same space which frees up substantial workspace for me. The feature that allows me to adjust the width for different sized laptops is GREAT. I was at wits end how to add ventilation to my laptop as it became so hot. It now runs much, much cooler because the fan/air flow is vertical as opposed to flat on my desk. So many improvements in just one device. Thanks to UPERGO for this fine device which makes my desk look better & so much more functional! I highly recommend to anyone that spends time with laptops at their desk!
