Spirits of America: A Social History of Alcohol
ISBN: 9781592132690 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. American politics and culture have been greatly influenced by alcohol since colonial times. Eric Burns's witty and comprehensive book, The Spirits of America, looks at what he calls "the first national pastime," and details the transformation of alcohol from virtue to vice and back again.

ISBN: 9780982405543 / Angielski / Twarda / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Distillation is an art. And even an ancient one.
