Jim Murray's Whiskey Bible: The World's Leading Whiskey Guide from the World's Foremost Whiskey Authority
Author: Jim Murray
This established market leader is published well in time for the Christmas whiskey-buying surge and takes account of all the latest developments in the world of the wee dram. What makes this book such a tour de force, however, is the tasting notes on hundreds and hundreds of different brands. The author has traveled around the world checking out whiskey from distilleries as far-flung as Argentina and Thailand, as well as the world-leaders in Scotland, Ireland, the United States and Japan. In terms of whiskey, this is the gospel!

The Hungry Soul: Eating and the Perfecting of Our Nature
Author: Leon Kass
The Hungry Soul is a fascinating exploration of the natural and cultural act of eating. Kass brilliantly reveals how the various aspects of this phenomenon, and the customs, rituals, and taboos surrounding it, relate to universal and profound truths about the human animal and its deepest yearnings.
"Kass is a distinguished and graceful writer. . . . It is astonishing to discover how different is our world from that of the animals, even in that which most evidently betrays that we too are animals—our need and desire for food."—Roger Scruton, Times Literary Supplement

[A]n intellectual feast, soup to nuts.
Times Literary Supplemen - Roger Scruton
Kass is a distinguished and graceful writer and his message and his example are of the first importance. It is astonishing to discover how different is our world from that of the animals, even in that which most evidently beetrays that we are animals—our need and desire for food.
