  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "Holes" by Louis Sachar tells the story of Stanley Yelnats, a boy who is sent to a juvenile detention camp called Camp Green Lake for a crime he did not commit. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake; instead, the boys are forced to dig holes in the hot desert. Stanley soon discovers that there is more to this pointless activity than meets the eye, and the past seems to intertwine with the present as he uncovers a mystery involving his family history, a curse, and buried treasure. The book explores themes of fate, justice, and friendship as Stanley navigates the challenges of the camp and forges a strong bond with another camper, Zero.

  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!

Full of funny stories and fascinating facts, Tom Read Wilson knows even the most ordinary-sounding word can have the most surprising story behind it!

Or that the word ‘daisy’ comes from the Old English dæges eage, meaning ‘day’s eye’, because the petals of a daisy open at dawn and close at dusk?  The word 'easel' comes from the Dutch word 'ezel', meaning donkey, because both are depenable and suitable for carrying a load?  Or that English nicknames for police officers, 'bobbies' and 'peelers', both come from the names of Sir Robert Peel, British prime minister in the 1800s and creator of the first modern police force?
