Is bourbon the quintessential American liquor? Bourbon is not just alcohol - the amber-colored drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon is a symbol of the United States. This course traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s, with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World, through today's booming resurgence.

When the two meet, Adam's commanding presence makes a startling but good impression on Susannah. The attraction between them is undeniable, but that is soon followed by wariness. Susannah had planned to marry a man who would do her bidding, not take over everything. It's her ranch, after all! Equally befuddled, Adam thought he'd be marrying a woman who knows her place, not a temperamental brat who could benefit from some time over his knee. Will Susannah learn to accept Adam's firm leadership and expectations?

"When we are happy, we are always good," says Lord Henry, "but when we are good, we are not always happy." Lord Henry’s lazy, clever words lead the young Dorian Gray into a world where it is better to be beautiful than to be good; a world where anything can be forgiven - even murder - if it can make people laugh at a dinner party. Oxford Bookworms Library reader for learners of English, adapted from the Oscar Wilde original by Jill Nevile.

Centuries ago, when Earth's Darkfolk - vampires, werewolves, witches, and other creatures - were threatened by humanity, they departed our planet's dimension and journeyed to a shadowy realm, where they built the great city of Nekropolis. Matt Richter is an Earth cop who came through a portal to Nekropolis on a case, died, and was resurrected as a zombie. Unable to return home, he works as a private investigator on the very mean streets of this shadowy, dark city.

In his second skirmish against the Evil Librarians who rule the world, Alcatraz and his ragtag crew of freedom fighters track Grandpa Smedry to the ancient and mysterious Library of Alexandria. Hushlanders - people who live in the Librarian-controlled lands of Canada, Europe, and the Americas - believe the Library was destroyed long ago. Free Kingdomers know the truth: the Library of Alexandria is still around, and it’s one of the most dangerous places on the planet. For it is the home of the scariest Librarians of them all: a secret sect of soul-stealing Scriveners.

They promised freedom. They delivered a script. When James Johnson signed on to knock doors for Alta Pest Control, he thought he was chasing the American Dream. Sunny neighborhoods, fat commissions, and a taste of entrepreneurial glory. Instead, he found himself inside a high-control sales cult dressed up as a summer job.

St. Thérèse of Lisieux sought a new way to Heaven: "A little way that is quite straight, quite short: a completely new little way.” Blessed with personal limitations that might have discouraged another, Thérèse believed God would not have given her a desire for holiness if He did not intend for her to achieve it. She learned to humbly accept herself as she was and trust completely in God’s love.

In the early 1990’s, Hellboy, Liz Sherman, and Abe Sapien are drawn into a bizarre case in New York, linked both to Hellboy’s 1980 adventure with Anastasia in Brazil and to The Lobster’s encounter with the Proteus Club in 1933. A strange community of bizarre humans has been living in secret beneath Manhattan for more than sixty years. Now, though, someone is stalking them, murdering them one by one—someone who claims to be the ancient goddess Sem-Karul. With aid from the now elderly Cynthia Tynan, Hellboy and the BPRD must face the Goddess of Manhattan, and the monsters who serve her.

I astral projected to cheat at poker and landed myself in witness protection with a brooding fire demon. Oops. Now my family’s hiding out in northern Maine in a busted-up café my brother won in a shady bet. The place is a disaster: cursed sugar jars, haunted espresso machine, and oh yeah… a smoldering Ifrit who runs the interdimensional bar behind the walk-in freezer. He’s all fire, fury, and don’t-touch-my-cups energy, and we clash over everything. We share a dangerously thin veil between realms we’re determined to fix—since we don’t want to see any more of each other than we have to.

Some memories aren't yours. Some enemies are. The dreams started as fragments—glimpses of lives that weren't his, deaths he didn't die, faces he shouldn't recognize. But when he locks eyes with a stranger and feels three centuries of rage, betrayal, and murder flood back, he realizes the truth. They've done this before. Many times before. Friendship. Jealousy. Murder. Rebirth. Repeat. Between lives, there's a place where souls remember everything. Where the patterns become clear.

As a licensed clinical social worker, shaman, mystic, ordained minister, energetic healing master, and structural integration practitioner, Ken Grider has been crafting his healing and teaching art for over twenty-five years.

In a world drowning in noise, we've forgotten how to truly hear each other. We scroll, interrupt, and offer unsolicited advice, mistaking activity for connection. Shut Up is a profound exploration of what happens when we stop trying to fix, impress, or fill the silence, and instead learn to simply stay. Richard Dillon's journey begins in an ordinary café, where a single moment of silence with a grieving friend reveals a truth he'd been missing: real listening isn't about having the right words, it's about being fully present.

This book was written by me to create an environment to teach my Grand Children and Children about The Revelation. I have directed the listener by using Bible verses so he can defined the characters where they are and picture what the future will look like. The Bible states that not until the end times will we know what all these answers are. It is the end times so we should understand how to read with Understanding The Revelation. This is a large world view for the end times.

Written with stark realism and psychological depth, A Devil of a Fellow is a powerful portrait of masculinity, desire, and accountability in early-20th-century coastal New England—where charm can wound as deeply as cruelty, and redemption comes at a price.

Jerry Bird became the 20th century's most widely recognized skydiver during the evolution of sport skydiving in America. This book is a compilation of writings by many who knew and flew with Bird, and by Jerry himself—a skydiving life-and-times of Jerry Bird from 1963 into the 21st century. At the heart of the book are inclusions of Jerry’s own oral storytelling transcribed in his inimitable voice.

The Artesian Affair is a riveting mystery set in the heart of the Chickasaw Nation, where ancient springs rise through red earth and secrets run deeper than the water itself. When a retired Air Force colonel dies mysteriously at the historic Artesian Hotel in Sulphur, Oklahoma, Captain Jack "Hawk" Hawkins of the Chickasaw Lighthorse Police is called to investigate what appears to be a routine death. But the scent of rain and the metallic taste in the air tell him otherwise.

Things aren't always what they seem to be. Sometimes the forger escapes. Sometimes love wins. Sometimes the perfect crime is to disappear completely and find peace in anonymity. This is the story of a man who wanted to be Rembrandt and became himself instead.
