Story
Is bourbon the quintessential American liquor? Bourbon is not just alcohol - the amber-colored drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon is a symbol of the United States. This course traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s, with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World, through today's booming resurgence.

Super Easy from Startin' to Garden
I have a garden in my backyard, and it does ok. But after this book, I'm seriously considering starting over! It takes you from the ground up, literally. Step-by-step instructions describe the transformation in great detail. Then, it gets into some serious gardening. I'm getting the paper version, too, just so I can follow along better and slower. Highly recommended for anyone with a green thumb!
