Kaum eine Heilpflanze ist besser erforscht und heilkräftiger als "die Mutter aller Heilpflanzen". Dank seiner Vielseitigkeit wird Salbei seit alters her bei unterschiedlichsten Krankheiten und Beschwerden verwendet. Besonders bewährt hat sich das aromatische Heilkraut bei Erkältungen, Atemwegserkrankungen und in der Mundhygiene; es kommt aber auch bei übermäßiger Schweißbildung, Diabetes, Zahnfleischentzündungen, Verdauungsproblemen wie Blähungen, Völlegefühl oder Sodbrennen, Menstruationsbeschwerden, Akne und anderen Hauterkrankungen, Konzentrationsschwäche und Nervosität zum Einsatz.

En las ya clásicas memorias del chef Anthony Bourdain, éste nos llevó a través de las puertas giratorias de la cocina y puso patas arriba el oficio culinario. Bourdain lo cuenta todo: desde su primera ostra en la Gironda hasta su humilde puesto de friegaplatos en un restaurante de pescado de Provincetown (donde se enganchó al trabajo de chef de por vida); desde los fogones del Rainbow Room en lo alto del Rockefeller Center hasta los traficantes de drogas del East Village, pasando por Tokio, París y de vuelta en Nueva York.

Russia is famous for its vodka, and its culture of extreme intoxication. But just as vodka is central to the lives of many Russians, it is also central to understanding Russian history and politics. In Vodka Politics, Mark Lawrence Schrad argues that debilitating societal alcoholism is not hard-wired into Russians' genetic code, but rather their autocratic political system, which has long wielded vodka as a tool of statecraft. Through a series of historical investigations stretching from Ivan the Terrible through Vladimir Putin, Vodka Politics presents the secret history of the Russian state itself.

By exposing the root causes of faults in wine, Flawless challenges us to rethink our assumptions about how wine should taste and how we can understand beauty in a glass.
