    From the author of Whole Beast Butchery, “practical and delicious ways to use the most under-appreciated parts of the animal” (David Chang, chef/owner of Momofuku).   With the rise of the handcrafted food movement, food lovers are going crazy for the all-natural, uniquely flavored, handmade sausages they’re finding in butcher cases everywhere. At San Francisco’s 4505 Meats, butcher Ryan Farr takes the craft of sausage making to a whole new level with his fiery chorizo, maple-bacon breakfast links, smoky bratwurst, creamy boudin blanc, and best-ever all-natural hot dogs.

    There is a hidden agenda in Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos’s space exploration to colonize Mars and the Moon. The media portray them as Americans who are rekindling space exploration that was once dominated by the rivalry between the United States and the extinct Soviet Union. 
    Before you write off what I have just said, hear me out. For more than a decade, I’ve closely studied the lives of Bezos and Musk. I have watched as Jeff Bezos dominated online retailing, and Elon Musk building Tesla and SpaceX. As each spread their wings to critical industries, I began to notice a pattern that only leads to one conclusion, the hidden agenda each harbors. 
    On the surface, it appears each of them is interested in dominating space. However, when you study how they operate in every industry, you cannot help but conclude that there is more to their modus operandi. 
    If you would like to find out what this hidden agenda is, and how Musk and Bezos are dominating the industries they each operate in, then BEZOS vs. MUSK is a book you should read. 
    Here’s more of what you’ll learn in this book: 
    ●	Two dreams that Elon Musk has that’ll take him to the top of the air transportation industry. 
    ●	Discover two images in the conclusion that shows what Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are planning when they’re done with their respective projects. 
    ●	What Jeff Bezos did to force NASA to freeze the Artemis program for a few months. 
    ●	An initiative that Elon Musk is undertaking to help increase the thinking power of human beings and why he’s doing it. 
    ●	Why Elon Musk and Amazon Web Services have funded OpenAI. 
    ●	A potent strategy that Amazon uses to dominate an industry it never operated in before. 
    And much much more! 
    If you want to find out the truth behind the rivalry of Bezos and Musk, get BEZOS vs. MUSK.
