It's a system, a tool kit, a recipe book. Beginning with one irresistible idea--a complete home bar of just 12 key bottles--here's how to make more than 200 classic and unique mixed drinks, including sours, slings, toddies, and highballs, plus the perfect Martini, the perfect Manhattan, and the perfect Mint Julep.
It's a surprising guide--tequila didn't make the cut, and neither did bourbon, but genever did. And it's a literate guide--describing with great liveliness everything from the importance of vermouth and bitters (the "salt and pepper" of mixology) to the story of a punch bowl so big it was stirred by a boy in a rowboat.

Описание: -'Impossible to read these stories without amazement' THE SUNDAY TIMES. -Detailed day-to-day account of seven months Flying over the Western Front in the Royal Flying Corps in 1916. -One of the first memoirs ever published by an RFC airmen. Gone in war are the dash and charge and thunder of galloping horsemen, gone the flashing of naked sabres, the screams of stricken horses, the swooping down upon supply train or camp of the grey horse troop. Here comes the 'Cavalry of the Clouds' - the airmen of the Royal Flying Corps. Into the clouds they go, a dip, a swoop, a dizzy spiral, sometimes dodging shrapnel below the clouds, and sometimes eluding enemy machines above, until the German aircraft drops like a blazing comet into the lines, or until the precious information is safely delivered to headquarters. This is Alan Bott's memoir of his life with 70 Squadron, flying the Sopwith Strutter, a reconnaissance fighter, fitted with the RFC's first forward-firing synchronised machine gun at the dawn of aerial combat. Covering just seven months, June to December 1916, Bott details missions over the Western Front, including the Battle of the Somme, his three aerial victories and winning the Military Cross.

Daniel Cross is a British scientist who is asked to confirm the veracity of a multi-million dollar diamond in Namibia. When his tests prove inconclusive, pandemonium breaks out and a beautiful Russian is assassinated on the streets of Windhoek and dies in his arms.
Determined to seek the killer, Cross unknowingly draws the attention of the CIA. Now deemed expendable, he is contracted to infiltrate criminal organizations and locate their facilities and resources. His travels inadvertently uncover a murderous international plot to take over the world.
Biological Deception is authentic and the adrenaline-induced first chapter sets the tone. Complexity thickens as Cross uncovers a killer virus being developed simultaneously in at least three countries, a vaccine designed for a select few, involvement of a high-ranking US senator, a syndicate wishing to control California's cannabis grow market and a stolen diamond. Wrapped in all this mayhem is an underlying love story that will melt hearts.
Cross pieces it together and with the cooperation of five adversarial governments, the shocking climactic chapters will leave readers breathless and wanting more.
This is a fast-paced, cleverly crafted page-turner that could happen, or is already happening...
