American grape growing and wine making

George Husmann

Beschreibung

Professor George Husmann, the author of this Volume, is the recognized authority on grape growing and wine making in the United States. His reputation has likewise extended all over Europe. When grape growing met with its disastrous collapse twelve or fifteen years ago, a few bore up under the sad reverses and labored on, hoping for better times. Of this number was Professor Husmann, who had then become prominent in the culture of the grape in that district of which Hermann, Missouri, is the center. Though obliged to give up the vineyards he had established, and to relinquish the publication of the Grape Culturiist, a most excellent monthly journal, he still continued to prosecute his labors and investigations, which have been fitly recognized, among other ways, by his appointment as Professor of Horticulture in the Missouri State University. His first volume, published some years since, attracted wide attention. He now embodies in the present volume the results of all his labors and investigations down to the present time.
(Publisher 1880)

Who Are the Russians?

Alla Sergueeva

“An exceptional study. The author of the book has had the audacity to approach Russian chaos... armed with her desire to prove that the country is by no means a madhouse but simply an immense space, difficult to access for the outsider who is unfamiliar with Russian traditions, history and mentality.” Lyubova Klobukova, Izvestia. 
 
“Alla Sergueeva’s book is highly topical. The author loves Russia, cares about its people, is proud of its history, culture and science.” Vladimir Nogovsky, Russian Thought.
 
Should a foreigner accept an invitation to the Russian baths? How many glasses of vodka should you drink in one go before trying to refuse? Why do Russians endure life at great sacrifice? What is “Russian happiness” made of? And above all, what’s new in 21st-century Russia?
Over the past fifteen years, the “mysterious Slavic soul” has undergone unprecedented metamorphosis. It was time to draw up an exhaustive inventory of the new way of life and psychology of the Russians.

How Marijuana Retail Would Work

Trevor Clinger

With the growing momentum for marijuana legalization, it's important to understand its economic implications in the United States. Washington and Colorado are pioneering states, demonstrating that recreational marijuana can be used responsibly. This concise book explores how these states approach the retail sale of marijuana and what first-time customers can expect when visiting a marijuana store. While I don't use or endorse marijuana due to its current federal illegality, this situation is likely to change soon. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and an Associate's Degree in Management Technology. Enjoy this insightful read on the evolving marijuana market.

GO! The Bettenhausen Story

Carl Hungness

If “Top Gun: Maverick” or “Ford Versus Ferrari” kept your attention, “Go! The Bettenhausen Story” will keep you riveted. What prompts these men to climb into small spaces and propel themselves at death defying speeds? Subtitled “A Race Against A Dream,” this audiobook attempts to answer that question through the eyes of the Bettenhausen family, one of the greatest racing families in the history of the sport of automobile racing. Whether a casual or passionate racing fan, you’ll be fascinated at the closeup of the racing industry as this book chronicles its growth from the 1930s to the 1980s through the eyes of patriarch Tony Bettenhausen and his three racing sons as they conduct “A Race Against A Dream.”As the author Carl Hungness writes, “It’s not the win at Indy the racers want, it’s the challenge. The way of life. It’s the feeling that can’t be conveyed until it’s experienced. What makes the breed of man they call a race car driver tick? Some respect them and others pity them. Don’t pity them; they’ve seen the consequences. They all think they’ll beat the odds. For some, driving in the race is living and everything else is just waiting. They’re more alive inside the car than out of it.”A very small percentage of humans will experience the peril and thrill of the Indy 500, an annual spectacle that fuels the dreams of men and women alike seeking the thunderous adrenaline rush that the race provides. This audiobook dares to drive you close to experiencing “the aura surrounding the fervor for driving a race car.” Buckle up- it’s quite a ride.
