Bourbon is special. So special, in fact, that on May 4, 1964, the United States Congress issued a resolution naming bourbon as America's Native Spirit - the only beverage celebrated in such a fashion. Bourbon is so popular that some rare bottles of bourbon sell for tens of thousands of dollars - and single shots of some highly prized bourbons can be sipped by those willing to pay hundreds of dollars for the experience. Bourbon originated in frontier America and grew with America's expansion west. It survived a national effort to prohibit the sale of all alcohol-based beverages and thrives now as thousands of visitors tour Kentucky's many distilleries every day. Almost as special as sipping a good bourbon are the light-hearted and compelling stories this book provides about bourbon and many of the colorful characters in bourbon's past. The book describes what makes bourbon different from other alcohol-based beverages, explaining how (and why) bourbon spends years (sometimes decades) maturing in charred oak barrels before it is bottled, sold and sipped. The book starts with a section telling the story of the production of bourbon from the ground up - where and how bourbon is made, its remarkably few ingredients, the secrets of what takes place during bourbon's fermentation, distillation and aging processes as well as sharing what the label on a bourbon bottle can tell us about that particular bourbon's birthplace, contents, background and age. The second section of the book is a glossary of bourbon terms - set out alphabetically for ease of access and provided with humor and without technical jargon. Then comes the history section. It deals with how the early growth of the United States affected the early growth of bourbon and how bourbon contributed to America's expansion west, industrial growth, war efforts and bourbon's tremendous impact on the U.S. Treasury. Next are some recommended rules for bourbon buying, gifting, drinking and socializing. Finally, the book arrives at a top shelf discussion of ways to enjoy bourbon - with recipes.
Cheers! It is time to for a drink of bourbon - as we sit back, open the book and get to know bourbon.

Slow Wine US is a new and revolutionary guide to the wines of California, Oregon, New York and Washington. Thanks to the help of a handful of expert contributors, we've selected the best wineries from each state and reviewed their most outstanding bottles.
The idea behind Slow Wine is simple: it acknowledges the unique stories of people and vineyards, of grape varieties and landscapes, and of their wines. The awareness that wine is more than just liquid in a glass helps wine lovers make better, more conscious choices and enhances the very enjoyment of these products.
Since its beginnings in Italy thirteen years ago, Slow Wine has combined its tasting sessions with equally important moments of exchange and debate with producers. The direct contact to winegrowers and winemakers allows for a genuine, authentic and always up-to-date report on what's happening in America's vineyards and cellars.
The contents
Each winery receives a review divided in three sections: the first one dedicated to the people who live and work at the winery, the second to the vineyards and the way they're farmed, the third to the finest wines currently available on the market.
The very best wines are awarded the Top Wine accolade. Among these we have the Slow Wines - which beyond their outstanding sensory quality are of particular interest for their sense of place, environmental sustainability or historical value - and the Everyday Wines, representing excellent value at prices within 30$.
The most interesting wineries on the other hand are awarded the Snail, for the way they interpret Slow Food values (sensory perceptions, territory, environment, identity) while offering good value for money; the Bottle, to wineries whose wines are of outstanding sensory quality throughout the range; the Coin to those estates offering excellent value for money.

Antibiotics can be lifesaving, but they are so often prescribed without good reason that they generate more drug side effects than any other class of medicines. On a personal level, antibiotics can cause mild to deathly side effects.
Antibiotic overuse in the larger society has forced the widespread growth of drug resistant bugs, causing a global health crisis according to the World Health Organization.
In this latest in the series of No-Nonsense Guides, Dr. Dolan describes a rational approach to appropriate antibiotic use or avoidance. This handy reference for many of the most common symptoms and illnesses discusses antibiotic characteristics and side effects in easy-to-understand language. As with Dr. Dolan's other SmartMEDinfo No-Nonsense Guides, this book is not 'anti-drug' but rather 'pro-informed consent' with the goal of empowering consumers to consider the risks and benefits of prescriptions for themselves.

Delta Junction is fiction, and all of the characters are imaginary. The date of October 19, 1987 (Black Monday), is accurate. John D. Fields, known as JD, is a true supporter of the late Sir Winston Churchill's motto Never, Never Give Up.
Delta Junction is evidence of how life can challenge us. This story offers adventure, mystery, romance, and imagination for all who read it. Change for us often seems unpleasant, even scary, but it can also be exciting and even pleasant in the end. We sometimes get caught up in our own lives and create our own small worlds, lock ourselves in, and close the door. For some of us, the door is opened, and we either step out or are thrown out into the big world that's been there all along.
It is time to take that step toward a new and different life with new friends and ideas. The positive part of all of this is that we continue to learn and grow.
