If you’ve ever thirsted to make your own whisky, rum or tequila, the Alcohol Textbook takes the lid off the science of distillation, from still designs to getting the best from yeast. The book blends chemical engineering, microbiology, botany and art, and the mix should satisfy the needs of most enthusiasts. Edited by K. A. Jaques, T. P. Lyons and D. R. Kelsall, published by Nottingham University Press, £49.50, ISBN 1897766676735.
