The moment he was handed a glass of Cockburn 1908 vintage port by his grandfather at 13 years old, Steven Spurrier knew he would make wine his career. He travelled Europe in his red sports car (fitted with a compact wine fridge in the boot), working the vintage in Burgundy, Bordeaux and Champagne, before his first extraordinary move was to set up shop and sell wine to the French. As an Englishman in the heart of Paris, this seemed a remarkably bold (if not foolish) project, but the plan worked. Steven’s adventures in wine did not stop there. In 1976, he went on to mastermind the ‘Judgement of Paris’, the France v California blind tasting that changed the wine world forever. This memoir looks back on Steven’s life charting the incidents, adventures, ideas and discoveries that formed his wine journey. With tributes from Hugh Johnson, Miguel Torres, Oz Clarke, Jancis Robinson MW, Warren Winiarski and many more…

"Steven had a unique perspective, and he wanted to open people’s eyes to the variety and quality of wine available throughout the world " - Tim Modavi Académie du Vin's founder, the late Steven Spurrier, wine connoisseur, critic extraordinaire and instigator of the famed 1976 Judgement of Paris, was a man who in the immortal of words of Hugh Johnson, ‘was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and never stopped stirring’. Back in 1972, Steven founded the Académie du Vin – a series of classes that blended factual information with practical tasting experience, and which were structured so that students could build their knowledge in a gradual, orderly way without becoming ‘swamped’. In the 1980s his Académie du Vin Wine Course became a best-selling book. Now, the Académie du Vin Library is delighted to honour Steven’s legacy by publishing an all-new commemorative edition, handsomely bound in a linen slipcase, and fully revised and updated to reflect the wine world of today. True to the spirit of the original, Steven Spurrier’s Académie du Vin Wine Course takes the reader logically through every aspect of wine appreciation: how to taste wine like the professionals; why the ways grapes are grown and wines are made have such a profound impact on the final taste; the characteristics of the most popular grape varieties and the world’s wine-growing regions; and last, but certainly not least, how to store and collect wine so that you can appreciate it in years to come. Whether you’re a newcomer to fine wine or already an aficionado, there is no more enjoyable, concise way to take your learning to the next level.

Steven Leiber was a pioneering San Francisco art dealer, collector and gallerist who specialized in the dematerialized art practices of the 1960s and 1970s and the ephemera and documentation spawned by conceptual art and other postwar movements. To sell this material, Leiber produced a series of 52 iconic catalogues between 1992 and 2010. Far from your ordinary dealer catalog, Leiber's catalogs paid homage to the kind of historic printed matter that he bought and sold, mimicking iconic publications like Wallace Berman's Semina journal and the exhibition catalog for Documenta V (1972). Leiber's reputation spread via these unique volumes, which included works by John Baldessari, Lynda Benglis, Ray Johnson, Lucy Lippard, Allan Kaprow, Yayoi Kusama, Claes Oldenburg, Ed Ruscha, Lawrence Weiner and many more. Across 252 pages, this book documents the full set of 52 dealer catalogs produced by Steven Leiber between 1992 and 2010. Inspired by Leiber's often humorous borrowing for his catalog designs, the book's format references Sol Lewitt's Autobiography and includes an essay and contextual notes by SFMOMA Head Librarian David Senior. Additional contributors include Ann Butler, Christophe Cherix, Marc Fischer, Tom Patchett, David Platzker, Marcia Reed, Lawrence Rinder and Robin Wright. Steven Leiber (1957 2012) began to buy and sell ephemera while working as a private dealer selling prints, drawings and multiples in the early 1980s. Scrupulously organized and cataloged, Leiber's collection housed in his grandmother's basement became an important resource for scholars, curators and other enthusiasts. The collection included the work of some 1,000 artists and represented basically every major movement within late 20th-century avant-garde practice, including Fluxus, conceptual art, land art, mail art, performance and video.

The work of photographer and Rhode Island School of Design professor Steven B. Smith (born 1963) chronicles the transition of the Western landscape into suburbia. Robert Pinsky, US Poet Laureate, wrote of his work, "Smith's images record not so much a contrast as two violent absences joining as a single force. Landfill, seedling, turnabout, heating coil collude with the sky and mountains in a triumph of disproportion: scale not so much confused or lost as irrelevant." Steven B. Smith: Your Mountain is Waiting documents the accelerating suburbanization of Smith's native Utah. Peeling back the layers of westward expansion with equal parts subtlety and irony, Smith captures the new McMansions springing up against the rocky, rust-red mountains and deep blue skies of the West. Smith is equally attentive to the cast of characters that fill these new landscapes the people that build them, and the people that live in them.

Steven Seagal and Bruce Lee: Martial Arts, from the Fake to the Fantastic: An Africentric Analysis

To refer to Steven Seagal as a "fake" is not an insult once you realize two things: (1) negative publicity is still publicity and he feeds on his "bad boy by any means necessary" persona and (2) the definition of the word "fake." When something is fake it is "not genuine or counterfeit." When you read about how Seagal got to where he got to and the lies he told to make it appear as if he was some kind of "guru," then you realize that the word "fake" fits him like a glove. You can tell when a man is great by this: say his name and everybody recognizes it, smiles and has good memories of him. Bruce Lee, born Lee Jun-fan was considered by many to be one of the most influential martial artists of all time. The fact that he died at age 33 speaks even more to his long-time commitment and work ethic as he is known as the founder of the martial art Jeet Kune Do. These are the types of facts and foundations that justify labeling a man like this as being "fantastic." This book focuses on Bruce Lee and his role in the movie "Enter the Dragon," which may well be the best martial arts movie of all time. In that analysis I concentrate on the racial relationships that the film attempted to portray by adding a white novice, John Saxon and a black martial arts expert, Jim Kelly. It is the view of this writer that the multi-racial experiment was a failure. The saving grace of the movie was the presence and on-going spectacular fight scenes that featured the one-and-only Bruce Lee. Seagal, as this book clearly shows, burst onto the scene with an incredible skill set, mainly consisting of Aikido. This book offers that after his first four mega-hits - "Above the Law," "Hard to Kill," "Marked for Death" and "Out for Justice," Seagal's career petered off even as his waistline increased and his obvious consumption of mayonnaise sandwiches probably reached world record proportions. This book also makes it clear that one man (Lee) was an original, a leader and an iconoclast. The other man (Seagal) is a chameleon, attempting to sound and act Italian at one point, and once he was introduced to black rappers, began to try to sound and even walk "like a black man" (his words). Clad in black gear including oversized black leather coats that he wears even in tropical weather, Seagal has found it easier to cover and hide his girth rather than to work it off. Bruce Lee, on the other hand, viewed the body as a temple and probably had less than 2% body fat. Bruce Lee and Steven Seagal, both martial artists but in almost every other respect, as different as night and day. Seagal has had and has exploited the benefit of "white privilege" and in the process, did what he had to do to get what he wants. Bruce worked hard and struggled and used his skill set to bring attention to Chinese culture in general and the martial art of Kung Fu, in particular. Many say that the comparison is akin to comparing apples and oranges. Perhaps this would be a better argument had not Bruce Lee been the best - ever. And because of that lofty achieved status, the "ascribed" status of Steven Seagal is often mistakenly compared and contrasted with that of the hard-working Lee. Seagal's race, contacts, network and "I'll-do-anything-to-be-a-star" approach to life is the key to his meteoric rise to movie stardom. All Bruce had was his skill set, belief system, cultural commitment and love for people. In America Seagal's way is the typical winner and people like Bruce usually end up finishing last. Most of Seagal's movies are also reviewed and analyzed. Enjoy the book.
