    Over the past three decades, Lew Bryson has been one of the most influential voices in whiskey. In Whiskey Master Class, Lew shares everything he's learned on his journey through the worlds of bourbon, Scotch, rye, Japanese whiskey, and more (yes, there are tasty Canadian and Irish whiskeys!). In this book, you'll find: 
     
     
     
    ● An overview of the different types of whiskeys, including the rules and identities of each. He also includes information on craft whiskeys, which tend to be more creative and freewheeling than the styles made by traditional producers. 
     
     
     
    ● Exploration of the key whiskey ingredients, with a close look at the flavor contributions of malt, peat, corn, rye, wheat—even water matters. 
     
     
     
    ● Distillation for non-distillers and the beauty of barrels: Whiskey is both an art and a science, and what's in the glass is affected by things like pot stills vs. column stills, barrel char, and of course, time. 
     
      
     
    ● Numerous interviews with master distillers, still makers, and other artisans at the top of their field. 
     
     
     
    ● Tasting notes throughout so you can identify the whiskeys you might want to try next. 
     
     
     
    You'll want to do the homework with whiskey as the subject!

    When life gives you lemons, run them over with your dirt bike! 
    After taking the year off to save up money and establish a more portable career, Tiffani Burkett was finally ready to get back on the road and finish her "Round The World" ride that she had started on her 2015 Yamaha FZ-07. Little did she know that getting rid of everything in January of 2020 would be one of the biggest mistakes of her life. Or perhaps one of the biggest opportunities. 
    With her plane grounded, international borders closed, and no home to quarantine in, Tiffani and her travel partner, Hollywood, turned their focus toward the American wilderness, rife with trails and challenges that would entertain even the most advanced dirt bike rider. But, there was just one issue: Despite over a decade of riding on roads and race tracks, Tiffani didn't know the first thing about riding off-road, and learning to ride dirt as an adult presents its own set of mental and physical challenges. But, if she wanted to ride across Siberia one day, it was about time to face her fear, anxiety, and self-doubts that had held her back for all these years by turning the summer into a dirt-bike boot camp. 
    With their old Chevy pickup, a Kawasaki KLX125, a Kawasaki KLX250, and a lot of hope, they set off to the Rocky Mountains to ride some of the greatest trails the USA has to offer, finding dinosaur bones, old mines, beautiful backdrops, and a whole lot of single track and stream crossings along the way. 
    Chronicles of a Motorcycle Gypsy: Dirt Bikes and Dinosaur Bones also includes a full gear list and bike builds for the aspiring dirt bike rider, with lots of pictures for every chapter!

    Now that I’m a mom, I know the most painful part isn’t getting something giant through your hooha. It’s having a real live child. 
    If you are the kind of mom who shapes your kiddo’s organic quinoa into reproductions of the Mona Lisa, do not read this book. If you stayed up past midnight to create posters for your PTO presidential campaign, do not read this book. If you look down your nose at parents who have Domino’s pizza on speed dial, do not read this book. 
    But if you are the kind of parent who accidentally goes ballistic on your rugrats every morning because they won’t put their shoes on and then you feel super guilty about it all day so you take them to McDonalds for a special treat but really it’s because you opened up your freezer and panicked because you forgot to buy more frozen pizzas, then absolutely read this book. 
    I WANT MY EPIDURAL BACK is a celebration of mediocre parents and how awesome they are and how their kids love them just as much as children with perfect parents. Karen Alpert’s honest but hilarious observations, stories, quips and pictures will have you nodding your head and peeing in your pants. Or on the toilet if you’re smart and read it there.
