Story
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.

Story
Many horse trainers, even those who espouse the so-called natural horsemanship approach, take the position that horses who fail to obey a human's request are doing so as much out of perversity as ignorance. That's not Mark Rashid's view. In his words, "If we understand that horses can't separate the way they feel from the way they act, then we can start to see that unwanted behavior isn't bad behavior at all. More times than not, it's just the horse expressing the way he feels at that particular moment in time....

Rashid uses humorous, feel-good stories to relate his techniques of teaching horses by examining their view of the world. This book is a must-have for compassionate horse trainers and owners. Tales of Arabs, appaloosas, and paints - mistrusted and mistreated because of their breed - will give listeners a new perspective on these breeds and others.

Lots to discover about dogs
"Fun and Interesting Facts About Dogs" is a delightful book that offers a wealth of knowledge about our beloved canine companions. Suitable for both kids and adults, this book covers a wide range of topics related to dogs, providing fascinating insights into their behavior, health, and unique characteristics.
The Author gives a brief history of dogs going back to when they were first domesticated from wolves. She discusses their anatomy, communication, amazing sense of smell and hearing and the speed they can travel and much more.
Apart from being man’s best friend, the many uses of various dogs are staggering, from search and rescue to sniffing out drugs to having the ability to smell cancer in humans, not forgetting guarding and hunting and as service dogs. As an adult I found it interesting; children would be doubly fascinated.
The audiobook is slightly over 1 hour long, and the narration is excellent when played on 1.2. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in dogs.

Pooch Knowledge
What a great book by Kate Herm and the narrator Marcus Mulenga.
As a dog owner for my entire life i found myself learning things about the history of dogs since their domestication 15000 years ago and how breeds became specialized and used to help society. I just loved this book because of its encylopedic knowledge it dishes out on all things dog.
The physical ability of certain breeds is fascinating. The weird and guinness book of dog records is fun to learn as well. But for me i really enjoyed and learned from some of the tips for feeding, grooming and exercising dogs.
As Kate Herm says it is easy to see why dogs are a man's best friend. I loved this book and highly recommend ti.

Fun and informative book for dog-lovers
This book is about fun facts for dogs to make people love dogs. But it's a great book for dog-lovers too. I am a dog-lover and I learned so many new fun facts about dogs. For example, the book has a brief history of how different breeds fit into human society. My favorite chapter was Chapter 4 where the author shares the dogs with special traits and record-breaking facts. It's so interesting! The book not only gives fun facts, there are also scientific facts on dog behavior to upgrade your knowledge about dogs. In conclusion, this is a fun and informative book about dogs and would be a great gift for dog-lovers. i highly recommend it :)
