    Explore the people, discoveries, and innovations that created the "water of life" in this compelling narrative. 
 
In this beautiful volume, renowned whiskey educator Robin Robinson skillfully chronicles the dynamic evolution of whiskey. In the Middle Ages, monasteries distilled spirits initially to make medicine. After King Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries, production shifted from clergy to farmers, and the route to whiskey began. Over the centuries, taxes and prohibitions took their toll. In the 1700s and 1800s, as the British Empire colonized the globe, waves of European emigrants brought the beverage to Australia, Canada, India, Japan, and elsewhere. Surveying the evolution of Scotch, the birth of bourbon and rye, and the importance of family ties, quality control, corporatization, and marketing, this comprehensive compendium details the global impact of the beverage conglomerates, the world's most expensive Scotch, the 2011 curveball of aging bourbon in ex-port barrels, and more. This is an inviting tribute to your favorite dram.

    Imperial Japan - Expansion World...

    The rise of Imperial Japan is a remarkable story of transformation and ambition. It was a journey from isolation to global power, marked by rapid modernization, industrialization, and an expanding empire. At the start of the 19th century, Japan was still a feudal society, deeply rooted in its traditional ways, with the Tokugawa shogunate governing the country in relative peace for over two centuries. However, Japan’s world would change forever when the United States, under Commodore Matthew Perry, forced the country to open its ports in 1854 after a period of strict isolation. 
This marked the beginning of the Meiji Restoration in 1868, a pivotal event that reshaped Japan’s destiny. The Meiji Restoration was a time of intense reform, where Japan sought to modernize in order to survive and compete with the Western powers. The young Emperor Meiji played a crucial role in transforming Japan from a feudal society into a centralized, modern state. The Japanese government adopted Western methods of governance, education, and technology, while also developing a new sense of national pride and unity. The feudal system was dismantled, and Japan was rapidly industrialized, building a powerful military and a burgeoning economy. 
The Meiji government’s aggressive modernization policies allowed Japan to catch up with the West in terms of technological and military advancements. Railroads, factories, and telegraphs quickly spread throughout the country. The education system was restructured, producing a new generation of skilled workers and intellectuals who were eager to contribute to Japan’s growing power. By the late 19th century, Japan had established a modern, strong economy capable of competing on the world stage.

    Every one of Earth's teeming ecosystems is an evolutionary cauldron 
 
 
 
Christopher Wills's claim has its roots in an insight from Charles Darwin: the interactions between species in an ecosystem are a powerful driver of evolution. In this book Wills describes how, by using the latest genetic techniques, we are probing ecosystems and discovering that even the most apparently barren of them are rich in variety, especially of microbes. Exploring the many ways in which ecosystems have coped with past change, and how rapidly an ecosystem can develop complexity, Wills illuminates a pathway of hope for the natural world that we have so damaged and depleted. Our new genetic knowledge can help these evolutionary cauldrons to continue brewing richness and diversity, the better to heal our living world and to enable our own survival.
