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.

We live in a world of seeds. From our morning toast to the cotton in our clothes, they are quite literally the stuff and staff of life, supporting diets, economies, and civilizations around the globe. Just as the search for nutmeg and the humble peppercorn drove the Age of Discovery, so did coffee beans help fuel the Enlightenment and cottonseed help spark the Industrial Revolution. And from the fall of Rome to the Arab Spring, the fate of nations continues to hinge on the seeds of a Middle Eastern grass known as wheat.

Made Bringing Home My Dog So Much Easier
When I adopted my dog, I honestly wasn’t sure if I was doing everything right. This book gave me clear, practical advice that made the transition so much smoother—for both of us. I learned how to build trust, set routines, and avoid common mistakes that could make my dog anxious. The tips were easy to follow, and I loved that it covered different situations, whether you’re bringing home a puppy or a rescue. Now, my dog is more comfortable, and I feel way more confident as a pet owner. If you’re welcoming a new dog, this is a must-read.

Happy dog, happy home!
We've rescued a few doggies in our later years and it's tougher than you think! I wish I had this book when we first did that, what a lifesaver that would have been. The advice is practical and easy to follow, even if you're a newbie. It helps you understand your dog's anxieties and build trust. I like the step by step approach and also the tips on creating a calm environment. If you're bringing a new furry friend home, this book is a must-have. It will make all the difference in your lives. Highly recommend!

New Little Pup
We have a new little puppy who has been nervous and not really listening. This book gives great advice on helping to meet his needs also while trying to establish some healthy habits. This book has me feeling more confident as we go about training and housebreaking him in. The step-by-step approach feels natural, and I appreciate the focus on patience and understanding. The 3-3-3 rule is in place and working great for us, just knowing we are off to a good start is comforting. I recommend this audio book as a guide to prepare you for a new dog before and after you get them. Valuable insights.
