Whether the world's best truffles are found in Piedmont or Perigord inspires impassioned debate, but the effects of dwindling supply and insatiable demand for the elusive, ultimate mushroom are unquestionable: prices through the roof, intrigue and deception, and ever more intensive efforts to cultivate.

The secrets of when, how, and where to collect truffles have benn passed from generation to generation since ancient times, but artificial cultivation remains the holy grail. Here in the most comprehensive practical treatment of the gastronomic treasure to date, the art and science of the high-stakes pursuit come together.

Their enthusiasm and expertise leavened with wry humor, the authors explore the newest techniques; they describe the commercial species in detail along with their host plants, natural habitats, cultivation and mintenance, pests and diseases, and harvesting with pigs, dogs, truffle flies, and even the electronic nose.

Pursuit of the fungus that costs more than gold is not for the faint of heart nor for those in a hurry, as under ideal conditions, truffle production in artificial truffieres can begin after three years but results may not be seen until a decade after planting, and maximum yields not for another decade still. So there is time to read and prepare, and no better source than this one.

There were, and still are, great restaurants all over Europe, but the greater part of Blue Trout and Black Truffles is devoted to the eating-places and vineyards of France. It is a vicarious experience less enjoyable only than the real thing to read in the pages of this book of the culinary wonders of the notable establishments that have become the last epicurean haven in this materialistic, mechanized world of fast-food chains and frozen-food dinners.

Mr. Wechsberg practiced the art of dining and wining in the greatest of Europe's gastronomic sancta sanctora and proved himself a master. He reaches back to the twilight days of the Habsburg monarchy, when those splendid monuments to the haute cuisine in central Europe, Meissl and Schadn of Vienna and Gundel's of Budapest, were in their prime. At Meissl and Schadn twenty-four varieties of boiled beef could be ordered, and in Vienna a person who couldn't talk learnedly about at least a dozen different cuts of boiled beef was "beyond the pale"-no matter what titles had been conferred on him by the Kaiser.

Almost every chapter in this heart-and-stomach-warming book takes the reader to a place that is worth a special journey-a place where he can savor the great art of graceful living..

"Life is like a box of chocolates You never know what you're gonna get."

Forrest's mama was right. Perhaps today life will offer you some great thrill. Or maybe what will come out of the box is an assortment of heartache—the kind that forever changes the way you live and relate to others. Regardless of the mix, you can always count on each day containing truffles from heaven.

Truffles from heaven are morsels of God's love and comfort that come individually wrapped in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes it may be a person divinely placed at a critical moment in your life. Other times, a penetrating verse of Scripture. Occasionally it is something material, like a favorite flavor of yogurt. Whatever the kind, God's truffles all share this in comon: they are choice gifts personally selected from the riches of His grace and gently placed in the palm of your life.

From the gift box of her own life, author Kali Schnieders offers a selection of truffles wrapped in a heart-felt prayer: that you, too, may "taste and see" God's heavenly truffles and know that He loves you.

In today's world of specialization, people are attempting to protect the Earth's fragile state by swapping limousines for hybrids and pesticide-laced foods for organic produce. At other times, environmental awareness is translated into public relations gimmicks or trendy commodities. Moreover, simplistic policies, like single-species protection or planting ten trees for every tree cut down, are touted as bureaucratic or industrial panaceas.

Because today's decisions are tomorrow's consequences, every small effort makes a difference, but a broader understanding of our environmental problems is necessary to the development of sustainable ecosystem policies. In Trees, Truffles, and Beasts, Chris Maser, Andrew W. Claridge, and James M. Trappe make a compelling case that we must first understand the complexity and interdependency of species and habitats from the microscopic level to the gigantic. Comparing forests in the Pacific Northwestern United States and Southeastern mainland of Australia, the authors show how easily observable species--trees and mammals--are part of a complicated infrastructure that includes fungi, lichens, and organisms invisible to the naked eye, such as microbes.

Eminently readable, this important book shows that forests are far more complicated than most of us might think, which means simplistic policies will not save them. Understanding the biophysical intricacies of our life-support systems just might..
