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.

From the Bible to Benjamin Franklin, from the cuneiform tablets of the ancient Sumerians to the dinner tables of modern bistros, wines have always been a part of civilization, culture, and history. Every country in the world has a special relationship with wine and takes a unique approach to the making, serving, and enjoying of it. Wine is an expression of the hopes, dreams, and cultures of the people who make it, so what better way to learn about the countries of the world than by learning about their wines?

Many horse trainers, even those who espouse the so-called natural horsemanship approach, take the position that horses who fail to obey a human's request are doing so as much out of perversity as ignorance.

Have you ever had that moment where you realize that work and money seem to be the priority and not so much family or even having a life? Do you keep working past exhaustion because of fear? Do you fear getting behind on bills, debt, or a mortgage that is painfully large? This is a common life for most people. Mortgages and rents are too high, wallets are filled with credit cards that are maxed out. The commutes are long and work hours bleed into weekends leaving little time for relationships or basic sleep. This is no way to live. It is not living at all. This book was written after I was ...

Once long ago, I wrote a book with this title and it was a boring little thing. Today I have all kinds of experience with those lean times that come and go. I am a nerd when it comes to homemaking and being frugal, however, frugality has its season. This book is all about that season and how to prepare for it, enjoy it, and have a rich and luxurious life despite small paychecks. And who says being broke is a bummer? In our house, we decided to unplug from the internet and downsize our life. We live with no stress and the days are simple. We focus on learning, playing, and hobbies. I don't ...

I've been a homemaker for seven years and through the plentiful times and the not so plentiful times, I have never returned to work in the mainstream. I'd like to avoid it, to be honest. Currently, we are a little above the poverty line in our salary. And life has never been better. We purchased our first home with a paltry loan and even more meager savings during this housing market boom...in Northern California! My dreams of starting a homestead in town have been actualized and we eat like royalty. Well, maybe upper class. We are thriving and having so much fun with our life even with the...
