The ultimate visual guide for all things gin, from botanicals and styles to producers, distillation processes, and tastings
Become a gin expert and discover your own gin tasting experience.
A relatively loose definition of gin has allowed for a boom in specialist gin distilleries and an ever-broadening range of floral, citrus, herbal, spiced, fruity, and umami gins. Originally sought after for its host of medicinal properties, curing (almost) everything from the pestilence to malaria, gin has seen many peaks in its popularity. But the spirit's long history has at times been murky, its history firmly rooted in and tied to Empire, a slide into being known as "mother's ruin", and a large part to play in the rise of abstinence movements. It has not always been the carefree spirit we know today.
Join award-winning drinks writer Anthony Gladman as he explores the story of gin, from ancient uses to its present-day renaissance, offers insight into the unique distillation processes, teaches you to establish and develop your own palate and write your own tasting notes, before guiding you through over 100 of the most exciting gins from across the world. Featuring a classic cocktail section and how to make an icon - the G&T - as well as the spirit's impact on the climate and the ways the industry is changing as a result. This is an all-encompassing guide to the ongoing story of gin - its heritage and innovation - and a celebration of the multitude of complex flavours present in the spirit today.

DK's best-selling, richly illustrated encyclopedia series explores the wonderful world of plants and fungi
The ultimate nature book for children, this plant encyclopedia has everything from cacti and carnivorous plants to trees, flowers, and mushrooms.
Why are flowers colourful and fruits sweet? How does a carnivorous plant kill its prey? Why do stinging nettles sting? How do trees turn light into food?

Life on Earth couldn't exist without plants and fungi. Plants create the food we eat and the oxygen we breathe. They regulate the climate, provide habitats for animals, and produce sustainable resources that we can use to make books, clothes, furniture and houses. Fungi are just as important. Nature's great recyclers, they turn the living world's leftovers into essential nutrients that plants and animals can use again. Knowledge Encyclopedia; Plants and Fungi! shows how plants and fungi form the foundations of every ecosystem, making our planet habitable.
Every page is packed with incredible facts and statistics. Did you know that the seeds of the Australian snottygobble plant don't grow until they've been pooed out by emus? Or that the world's oldest tree began growing before the pyramids were built? Or that the world's largest organism is a fungus the size of 1600 football fields? Or that some fungi can take over the brains of insects and turn them into zombies?
Part of DK's hugely successful Knowledge Encyclopedia series, this is the perfect accompaniment to the school curriculum and an essential addition to every family library.
