Sinossi

Tom Bullock's 'The Ideal Bartender' is an influential work in the canon of culinary literature, specifically within the vibrant sphere of mixology. The book is a tableau of pre-Prohibition American cocktail culture, a tome carefully presenting a collection of indispensable recipes, expert techniques, and insights into the convivial art of drink crafting. Within its pages, engrossed readers will find not just the mechanics of mixological skill but also the subtle social interplay that defines a true bartending savant. The literary style is precise yet imbued with the warmth and charm of a bygone era, and the edition by DigiCat Publishing has upheld the reverence for Bullock's original work by ensuring the text is presented with both historical authenticity and contemporary accessibility.

Tom Bullock, the gentleman behind the mixology manifesto, was a heralded African-American bartender who transcended the racial boundaries of his time with his consummate skills behind the bar. Bullock's experiences and prestige in the hospitality industry during the early 20th century make this book an artifact of personal expertise, impassioned instruction, and cultural heritage. His authorial voice embodies the nuances and dedication of a committed artisan, offering sage bar advice that has aged as finely as the spirits he recommends.

'The Ideal Bartender' stands as an essential read for aficionados of cocktail history and practitioners of the bartending craft. This carefully curated edition is ideal for those seeking to reconnect with the foundational elements of mixology, as much a historical document as it is a practical guide. DigiCat Publishing's reissuing of this classic caters to the modern reader's appetite for both tradition and the finer points of hospitality and service. Bullock's work is a testament to the cultural tapestry of American society and an inspiration for the contemporary bartender seeking to evoke the spirit and expertise of a bygone golden age of cocktails.

No Island of Sanity - Paula...

Vincent Bugliosi

In a series called "The Library of Contemporary Thought," top opinion-makers explore the most provocative, fascinating, and momentous issues that have occurred in the United States. In this first volume, famed Los Angeles prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi takes on the Supreme Court. Considered by some to be an island of sanity surrounded by a sea of insanity that is our society, the Supreme Court has increasingly come under scrutiny for some dubious decisions.
In this compelling work, Bugliosi puts the Supreme Court on trial for its handling of Paula Jones vs. Bill Clinton. The author argues that the right of a president to be free of a private lawsuit while in office outweighs a plaintiff's interest in having his or her case brought expediently to trial—regardless of a case's supposed merit.

The Flying Boy 1 & 2

John Lee

The Flying Boy is a record of one man’s journey to find his “true masculinity” and his way out of co-dependent and addictive relationships. It’s for all men and women who grew up in dysfunctional families and are now ready for some fresh insights into their past and their pain.
 
This audio is also about grieving, a very misunderstood process often confused with self-pity. The Flying Boy opens doors to understanding — men will understand themselves and each other, and women will more deeply understand men, learn how to be with wounded men and still take care of themselves.
 
This book combines John's experience, strength and hope with awareness gained from years of working with men's groups and Adult Children. It offers a unique and fresh insight into co-dependency, fears of intimacy, abandonment and commitment and how to overcome them.
 
John Lee has taught Religious Studies at Austin Community College and Literature, Humanities and American Studies at The University of Texas and the University of Alabama. With a private counseling practice specializing in masculine psychology and men’s issues, co-dependency and adult children of alcoholics, he also is the director of the Austin Men’s Center.
