Historia
In Tom Wolfe's hands, the strange saga of American architecture in the 20th century makes for both high comedy and intellectual excitement. This is his sequel to The Painted Word, the book that caused such a furor in the art world five years before. Once again Wolfe shows how social and intellectual fashions have determined aesthetic form in our time and how willingly the creators have abandoned personal vision and originality in order to work a la mode.

Here, Margaret Leslie Davis recounts five centuries in the life of one copy, from its creation by Johannes Gutenberg, through the hands of monks, an earl, the Worcestershire sauce king, and a nuclear physicist to its ultimate resting place, in a steel vault in Tokyo.

Maps have long exerted a special fascination on viewers - both as beautiful works of art and as practical tools to navigate the world. But to those who collect them, the map trade can be a cutthroat business, inhabited by quirky and sometimes disreputable characters in search of a finite number of extremely rare objects.
Once considered a respectable antiquarian map dealer, E. Forbes Smiley spent years doubling as a map thief - until he was finally arrested slipping maps out of books in the Yale University library.

In 1793 William Smith, a canal digger, made a startling discovery that was to turn the fledgling science of the history of the earth - and a central plank of established Christian religion - on its head. He noticed that the rocks he was excavating were arranged in layers; more important, he could see quite clearly that the fossils found in one layer were very different from those found in another. And out of that realization came an epiphany.

"See for yourself!" was the clarion call of the 1600s. Natural philosophers threw off the yoke of ancient authority, peered at nature with microscopes and telescopes, and ignited the scientific revolution. Artists investigated nature with lenses and created paintings filled with realistic effects of light and shadow. The hub of this optical innovation was the small Dutch city of Delft.

It was the most expensive bottle of wine ever sold. In 1985, at a heated auction by Christie’s of London, a 1787 bottle of Château Lafite Bordeaux - one of a cache of bottles unearthed in a bricked-up Paris cellar and supposedly owned by Thomas Jefferson - went for $156,000 to a member of the Forbes family. The discoverer of the bottle was pop-band manager turned wine collector Hardy Rodenstock, who had a knack for finding extremely old and exquisite wines. But rumors about the bottle soon arose.

Like the alphabet, the calendar, or the zodiac, the periodic table of the chemical elements has a permanent place in our imagination. But aside from the handful of common ones (iron, carbon, copper, gold), the elements themselves remain wrapped in mystery. We do not know what most of them look like, how they exist in nature, how they got their names, or of what use they are to us.

Wine and the wine business are at a critical crossroad today, transformed by three powerful forces. Veseth begins with the first force, globalization, which is shifting the center of the wine world as global wine markets provide enthusiasts with a rich but overwhelming array of choices.

Since the Gutenberg Bible first went on sale in 1455, printing has been viewed as one of the highest achievements of human innovation. But the march of progress hasn't been smooth; downright bizarre is more like it. Printer's Error chronicles some of the strangest and most humorous episodes in the history of Western printing. Take, for example, the Gutenberg Bible. While the book is regarded as the first printed work in the Western world, Gutenberg's name doesn't appear anywhere on it.

The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History houses, amid its illustrious artifacts, two bottles of wine: a 1973 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon and a 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay. These are the wines that won at the now-famous Paris Tasting in 1976, where a panel of top French wine experts compared some of France's most famous wines with a new generation of California wines. Little did they know the wine industry would be completely transformed as a result....

Thirty thousand years ago our prehistoric ancestors painted perfect images of animals on walls of tortuous caves, most often without any light. How was this possible? Scholars and archaeologists have for centuries pored over these works of art, speculating and hoping to come away with the key to the mystery. David and Lefrre give us a new understanding of an art lost in time, revealing what had until recently remained unexplainable - the oldest enigma in humanity has been solved.

With this updated edition of his earlier book, A Place of My Own, listeners can revisit the inspired, intelligent, and often hilarious story of Pollan’s realization of a room of his own—a small, wooden hut, his “shelter for daydreams” — built with his admittedly unhandy hands. Inspired by both Thoreau and Mr. Blandings, A Place of My Own not only works to convey the history and meaning of all human building, it also marks the connections between our bodies, our minds, and the natural world.

Bill Bryson and his family live in a Victorian parsonage in a part of England where nothing of any great significance has happened since the Romans decamped. Yet one day, he began to consider how very little he knew about the ordinary things of life as he found it in that comfortable home. To remedy this, he formed the idea of journeying about his house from room to room to “write a history of the world without leaving home.”

Is the archeologist who discovers a lost tomb a sort of hero - or a villain? If someone steals a relic from a museum and returns it to the ruin it came from, is she a thief? Craig Childs's riveting new book is a lyrical ghost story - an intense, impassioned investigation into the nature of the past and the things we leave behind. We visit lonesome desert canyons and fancy Fifth Avenue art galleries, journey throughout the Americas, Asia, the past and the present. The result is a brilliant book about man and nature, remnants and memory, a dashing tale of crime and detection.

brief but still helpful overview/refresher
A decent foundation in transatlantic antiques- geared toward the high end or at least pre-1840s items. Many of the makers are unlikely to appear in the wild but are icons in the history of their respective trades. Do not trust the reader to provide proper pronunciations of names or terms.

Fun Book To Listen To
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to others who like antiquing. It is loaded with all sorts of antique information, more than what I am interested in. However, there is also history involved and the author really knows her stuff.
What did you like best about this story?
The information is very well thought out and presented expertly by Karen Rose Richter who is a delight to listen to. She really sounded like she was very interested in all the aspects of this book. Her voice is very pleasant to listen to and I would definitely listen to her other books.
Which scene was your favorite?
We like watching antiques roadshow on PBS and our interests are focused more on early American oak antique furniture and primitive furniture. This book actually taught us about value and finding pieces that are actual antiques and not reproductions.
What insight do you think you’ll apply from Antiquing Secrets?
Bargain shopping for antiques. Never used that term, but knowing that you can negotiate anything is a good thing to know!!

An Essential Book for an Antique Collector
What did you love best about Antiquing Secrets?
What I loved best about Antiquing Secrets were the tips on differentiating reproductions from originals and original reproductions. Great information. I also loved the blacklight test and have actually used this technique myself several times.
What did you like best about this story?
I really enjoyed all the different types of pottery, their origins and how to spot the real thing. This went into very detailed description. I am curious about some of my pottery now and will look a little closer.
What about Karen Rose Richter’s performance did you like?
Karen Rose Richter has a very pleasant and delightful voice which makes her performance flawless. I can't wait to hear more from her. Very smooth.
What insight do you think you’ll apply from Antiquing Secrets?
The insight I will apply from Antiquing Secrets is that I will look a lot closer and pay more attention in the future when considering purchasing antiques.
Any additional comments?
I was also very interested in the section about furniture. This was very detailed and informative. I only wish it had been longer. I received this audiobook free of charge in exchange for an unbiased review.

Author encourages you to take advantage of people
There is a part in the book where the author suggests that you lie about how much money you brought to a yard sale, or other such sales, to manipulate people into selling something to you. Pretty gross. There is nothing wrong with negotiating a price. But the suggested method is just taking advantage of people's kindness. If you don't want to pay a certain price for something, just engage in an honest negotiation with the person or pass it up, please.
