  Meet the hostesses who have shaped cocktail history, and learn how to make the drinks they loved. 
   
   
   
  Throughout American history, women have helped propel what we know as classic cocktails—the Martini, the Manhattan, the Old-Fashioned, and more—into popular culture. But, often excluded from private clubs, women exercised this influence from the home, in their cocktail parlors. In The Cocktail Parlor, Dr. Nicola Nice, sociologist and spirits entrepreneur, gives women their long-overdue spotlight in cocktail history and shows how they still impact cocktail culture today. 
   
   
   
  Journeying through the decades, this book profiles a diverse array of influential hostesses. With each historic era comes iconic recipes, featuring a total of forty main cocktails and more than 100 variations that listeners can make at home. Whether its happy hour punch a la Martha Washington or a Harlem Renaissance-inspired Green Skirt, listeners will find that many of the ingredients and drinks they're familiar with today wouldn't be here without the hostesses who served them first.

  From its first use by the Ancient Egyptians, the barrel has left an unmistakable imprint on human history. The Romans used the barrel in all corners of their vast empire, and explorers could not have charted the globe or opened up trade routes without barrels to store their food and water. And in all its thousands of years of use, the barrel's basic design has barely changed at all—a testament to its sheer and simple perfection. 
   
   
    
  Cask Strength is more than a history book. In it, Mike Gerrard, an award-winning travel and drinks writer, investigates the making, buying, and selling of barrels and details how drinks like wine, tequila, rum, cognac, and others are enhanced by specific kinds of barrel production. 
   
    
    
  Today, modern distillers, brewers, and wine-makers continue to use barrels in new, creative ways—with the barrel providing up to 60-70% of their flavors. Without the barrel, we would have no bourbon, no oak-aged chardonnay, no barrel-aged stouts . . . and no tabasco sauce, either. 
   
    
   
  Gerrard's expertise and palpable passion for good beverages interestingly made will ignite the curiosities of booze fans and history buffs alike as Cask Strength traces the simple splendor of the barrel.

  Do you want to start using herbal remedies but don’t know where to begin? This comprehensive guide will teach you everything you need to know about herbalism, from the benefits of using natural remedies to how to make your herbal preparations at home. 
  For centuries, humans have been using herbal remedies to treat a wide variety of ailments. These natural plant-based medicines contain active compounds that can reduce inflammation, ease pain, and promote healing. One of the most well-known types of herbal remedies is tea, made from leaves and flowers steeped in hot water for several minutes to extract their properties. 
  Other popular herbs used for medicinal purposes include ginger, turmeric, and peppermint, all of which are known for their anti- inflammatory effects as well as their ability to settle nausea or upset stomachs. Whether you’re looking for relief from cold symptoms or an extra boost of energy, there’s no doubt that herbal remedies can be highly effective at improving your health and well-being. 
  While herbal remedies are generally safe for most people to use, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before using them, especially if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any other medications. Some herbs can interact with certain medications, so it’s always best to err on the side of caution.
