  A Kitchen Confidential for the cocktail profession, Unvarnished is a fly-on-the-wall narrative peek at the joys, pains, and peculiarities of life “behind the stick.” 
   
  When it opened a decade ago, the acclaimed Los Angeles speakeasy The Varnish—owned, designed, and managed by award-winning cocktail aficionado Eric Alperin—quickly became the stylish standard bearer for modern bars. Unvarnished is a candid, voice-driven, no-holds-barred look at the workings of a bar, and the foundation of The Varnish’s success: attention to hospitality and an abiding belief in the nobility of service.  
  Alperin and veteran bartender and writer Deborah Stoll push back against the prevailing conceit that working in the service industry is something people do because they failed at another career. They offer fascinating meditations on ice as the bartender’s flame; the good, the bad, and the sad parts of vice; one’s duty to their community as a local; the obsessive, compulsive deliberations of building a bar (size matters); lessons from Sasha Petraske—Eric’s late partner, mentor, and the forefather of the modern day classic cocktail renaissance—and the top ten reasons not to date a bartender. At the book’s center are the 100 recipes a young Jedi bartender must know before their first shift at The Varnish, along with examples of building drinks by the round, how to Mr. Potato Head cocktails, and what questions to ask when crafting a Bartender’s Choice.  
  A sexy, gritty, honest look at the glamour-less work of a glamorous job, written with the intimate honesty of The Tender Bar, the debauched inside view of Kitchen Confidential, and the social commentary of Waiter Rant, Unvarnished will take its place among these classics of the service set. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  History of Argentina - From the...

  Argentina's history is a rich tapestry that can be divided into four distinct periods: the pre-Columbian or early history (up to the sixteenth century), the colonial period (1530–1810), the nation-building period (1810–1880), and contemporary history (from approximately 1880 to the present). Each phase shaped the region, transforming it from sparsely inhabited land into the modern Argentine Republic. 
  Human presence in what is now Argentina dates back approximately 13,000 years, with evidence of early settlements in Patagonia. Archaeological findings suggest human activity through the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic periods. However, a significant depopulation of large interior areas occurred between 4000 and 2000 B.C., likely due to a prolonged period of drought. Over time, indigenous peoples in the region evolved into diverse cultural groups with varying levels of complexity. 
  Uruguayan archaeologist Raúl Campá Soler categorized Argentina’s indigenous peoples into three groups: basic hunters and food gatherers without pottery; advanced gatherers and hunters; and basic farmers who developed pottery. The Pampas and Patagonia were dominated by the first group, while the second included tribes like the Charrúa, Minuane, and Guaraní. The third group, inhabiting regions such as the Quebrada de Humahuaca, adopted farming practices and pottery.
