Publisher's Synopsis
Architect, urban planner, philosopher, artist and composer Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta tells us about wine. What is wine in civilization terms, why it is not simply an alcoholic beverage, what it changes in our brains, what is the medicine of wine, how wine changed Western civilization through the emergence of pathos, what is happening to wine in the world now, are some of the subjects of this adorable book. Pimenta, who researches neurosciences and aesthetics since the early 1980s, gives us a new image of the wine under a neuro-aesthetic approach.
