Описание:
Once and for all, America learns the likely inventor of its beloved bourbon.
Bourbon transcends mere liquor. This potent, amber-colored drink is deeply engrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of moonshine to the myriad distilleries that proliferate around the country today, bourbon has come to symbolize American spirits. In "Bourbon: An Illustrated Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of an American Whiskey," award-winning whiskey author Fred Minnick lays out the historical connection between America and bourbon, from Congress passing whiskey-protection laws to consumers standing in long lines just for a glimpse of a rare bottle of Pappy Van Winkle.
"Bourbon: An Illustrated Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of an American Whiskey "begins in the 1700s with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World. Filled with more than 100 illustrations and photos, "Bourbon "unfolds as a sort of loose mystery as Minnick explores who most likely invented the sweet corn liquor we now know as bourbon. Minnick studies the men who've been championed as the inventors over time, from Daniel Boone to Baptist minister Elijah Craig and, based on his new research, definitively answers who most likely invented bourbon.

Описание: Through 50 masterpieces of American painting, this fascinating catalogue chronicles the turbulent economic, political, and aesthetic climate of the 1930s. This decade was a supremely creative period in the United States, as the nation s artists, novelists, and critics struggled through the Great Depression in search of Americanness. Seeking to define modern American art, many painters challenged and reworked the meanings and forms of modernism, reaching no simple consensus. This period was also marked by an astounding diversity of work as artists sought styles ranging from abstraction to Regionalism to Surrealism that allowed them to engage with issues such as populism, labor, social protest, and urban and rural iconography including machines, factories, and farms. Seminal works by Edward Hopper, Grant Wood, Thomas Hart Benton, Georgia O Keeffe, Aaron Douglas, Charles Sheeler, Stuart Davis, and others show such attempts to capture the American character. These groundbreaking paintings, highlighting the relationship between art and national experience, demonstrate how creativity, experimentation, and revolutionary vision flourished during a time of great uncertainty."
