  Prohibition - A Very Short...

  Americans have always been a hard-drinking people, but from 1920 to 1933 the country went dry. After decades of pressure from rural Protestants such as the hatchet-wielding Carry A. Nation and organizations such as the Women's Christian Temperance Union and Anti-Saloon League, the states ratified the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Bolstered by the Volstead Act, this amendment made Prohibition law: alcohol could no longer be produced, imported, transported, or sold. 
   
    
   
  This bizarre episode is often humorously recalled, frequently satirized, and usually condemned. The more interesting questions, however, are how and why Prohibition came about, how Prohibition worked (and failed to work), and how Prohibition gave way to strict governmental regulation of alcohol. This book answers these questions, presenting a brief and elegant overview of the Prohibition era and its legacy. 
   
    
   
  With his unparalleled expertise regarding American drinking patterns, W. J. Rorabaugh provides an accessible synthesis of one of the most important topics in US history, a topic that remains relevant today amidst rising concerns over binge-drinking and alcohol culture on college campuses.

  “Pannunzio approaches the topic of tea drinking as a state of meditation . . . a great gift for any tea lover.” —Emily Slonina, author of Anywhere, Anytime, Any Body Yoga  Tea-spiration aims to create a quiet movement where one can experience devotions, comfort, inspiration, and the simple joys of life. Tea drinkers know that tea, the wonderful drink, can help them slow down and savor life’s moments.   In her debut book, Lu Ann Pannunzio uplifts and inspires readers in a way that does more than just telling them a story about tea and its history. As in life, tea is about the little things we need to experience (devotions, inspiration, reflection, comfort). Each page of Tea-spiration is filled with feelings and moments (big or small) that tea enhances; simple joys that not everyone may notice or take the time to savor. Sometimes all you really need is a cup, water, and some leaves to create your own wonderful cup of tea experience.   So, take pleasure in this tea lover’s book, along with that special cup of tea, and stop and appreciate the simple joys of life!   “Where will your next cup of tea take you? A trip down memory lane? Or, swept away to another region of the world? Allow yourself to experience tea as described within and you just may find Tea-spiration to live a more meaningful life thanks to this healthful, delicious beverage (tea) and our affini-tea for it.” —Gail Gastelu, publisher, The Tea House Times
