Cayuga's Daughters: 100 Notable Women of Cornell
ISBN: 9781483931852 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 122 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. As late as the 1920s, when Eleanor Roosevelt's daughter Anna enrolled in Cornell's School of Agriculture, her grandmother complained that "Girls who went to college were very apt to be 'old maids' and become 'bookworms, ' a dire threat to any girl's chance of attracting a husband." In today's higher education landscape, when women earn fully half the degrees granted by Cornell in every category, this modest volume reminds readers of those devoted daughters of their Alma Mater whose cumulative strength pushed open the door for women in intellectual life, in politics, in industry - and includes...

Bartender's Handshake: The Cult of Fernet-Branca, with Cocktail Recipes and Lore
ISBN: 9781542723749 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It was Italian immigrants who first carried bottles of Fernet-Branca to the United States in their suitcases, introducing the distinctly bitter digestivo to unexpecting palates. Although most Americans weren't sure what to make of it, Fernet became a rite of passage among bartenders. If a bartender poured a shot for a customer (usually another bartender) and another for themselves, it was called a "bartender's handshake." They began to recognize the spirit as eminently mixable, its bitter notes conspiring to balance sweetness, providing the energy or "bite" which causes a cocktail to sing,...

The John Wayne Code: An American Conservative Manifesto
ISBN: 9781441415233 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Updated and revised, this edition of THE JOHN WAYNE CODE presents a post-Bush perspective of Conservatism, contrasting wisdom and grit from an icon of the Old Right with a movement that's lost its soul. It's not an exaggeration to say that the modern Conservative movement in this country is dominated by propagandists and charlatans, people without intellectual integrity. Conservatives have been fleeced and exploited and lied to by the "Conservative Entertainment Industry." While they have been entrusted to lead the flock, they've led much of it far away from anything that resembles its core...

ITHACA New York: The City with a Cherry on Top
ISBN: 9781537394411 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Sundaes are us, and they have been pleasuring our collective senses ever since 1892, when an enterprising Ithaca, New York soda fountain proprietor accessorized a scoop of ice cream with sweet syrup and candied cherry, then named it after the Sabbath. For well over a century, the ice cream sundae has been a symbol of our abundance and appetite, our ingenuity, and our never-lost youth. In their assembly, sundaes acquire personality not only through their combination of ingredients, but through the history that they witness. Author Michael Turback recounts 125 years of sundae history with a...

ISBN: 9781466389083 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It was a mythological New York, a smoke-filled era in which men were men and women were dames, a period when getting properly inebriated was a sign of character and top shelf was the elixir of life. Between World War II and the end of the Eisenhower era, Manhattan's place to be and to be seen was Toots Shor's, and for those who were part of the inner circle, it sure was fun while it lasted. Toots Shor was a stout, gregarious palooka who reigned over his men's club and served up food and strong drink with a heaping side of insults and put-downs. His gin joint exerted an almost tidal pull on...

Prosecco!: Italy's Iconic Sparkling Wine, with Cocktail Recipes and Lore
ISBN: 9781539010982 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the trattorias and enotecas of Italy, Prosecco is another guest at the beckoning table, sipped liberally to end the workday, to begin a meal, to help digest the meal - with a sense of well-being that other cultures aspire to. Although delicious on its own, Prosecco's effervescence and refreshing acidity make it an ideal partner with a variety of other ingredients. It's gracefully light on the palate, yet Prosecco has enough body to maintain its character when mixed with fruits, berries, herbs, bitters, infusions or liqueurs, as artfully and effortlessly as it's done in Italy. From...

Long, long ago, in the foothills of the Chartreuse Mountains of France, a group of monks set out to lead lives of contemplation and solitude. Far removed from contact with the outside world, they built a monastery and established the Order of the Carthusians. The monks mastered the formula for a medicinal brew of herbs, spices and flowers, promised as "an elixir for long life," selling bottles in nearby villages to support the Order. Over the years, the fame of the venerable liqueur spread far and wide, recognized in the modern era as eminently mixable, versatile, and indispensable in...

ISBN: 9781500662226 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. An irrepressible character actor with a wit as dry as a martini in the Gobi Desert, Charles Butterworth played the leading man's charmingly daffy sidekick in screwball comedies throughout the 1930s - a decade he spent almost constantly inebriated, both on-screen and off. Out of Those Wet Clothes and Into a Dry Martini (the title inspired by his most famous one-liner) provides an intoxicating look at this nearly-forgotten master of the comic quip and cynical aside through his preferred lens - the bottom of a glass. This delicious compendium offers up an entertaining profile of Butterworth,...
