第1章 Dedication

The 20th century has been one of the most unique in human history. It has seen the rise of some of humanity's most important advances to date, as well as many of its most violent and terrifying wars. This is a condensed version of renowned historian Martin Gilbert's masterful examination of the century's history, offering the highlights of a three-volume work covering more than 3,000 pages.From the invention of aviation to the rise of the Internet, and from events and cataclysmic changes in Europe to those in Asia, Africa, and North America, Martin examines art, literature, war, religion, life and death, and celebration and renewal throughout the world, and throughout this turbulent and astonishing century.

A new generation of urban bootleggers is distilling whiskey at home, and cocktail enthusiasts have embraced the nuances of brown liquors. Written by the founders of Kings County Distillery, New York City's first distillery since Prohibition, this spirited illustrated book explores America's age-old love affair with whiskey. It begins with chapters on whiskey's history and culture from 1640 to today, when the DIY trend and the classic cocktail craze have conspired to make it the next big thing. For those thirsty for practical information, the book next provides a detailed, easy-to-follow guide to safe home distilling, complete with a list of supplies, step-by-step instructions, and helpful pictures, anecdotes, and tips. The final section focuses on the contemporary whiskey scene, featuring a list of microdistillers, cocktail and food recipes from the country's hottest mixologists and chefs, and an opinionated guide to building your own whiskey collection.

This book moves us beyond our all-too-often hidden lives, where we are easily encouraged to forget that we are whole humans having whole human experiences in our bodies alongside others.

时间，真的可以让我们忘记彼此吗？枫叶闪过枫红爱恋，划过心伤的痕迹，你看见了吗？不是怨恨，不是仇视，仅仅默默的注视着你。一个游戏结束了，你还会记得我吗？我漫步着走过你的生命，一滩血迹混合着心脏的跳动，无声的爱情划上了心伤的句号。你，在哪里呢？我拥有了所有，而唯独没有你。过去，曾经。我们一起走过。现在，未来。只剩下了我们，而没有你。站在高层楼塔，俯瞰地下成千上万的人群，而他们中，没有你。燕，飞鸣过无数的夏天；蝉，知了了一整个夏日。夏日的悲寂，融化了冰激凌，死亡，铺天盖地…P：因为建立作品的时候出现了内容重复因此添加了一个灬的标点符号，原文名字《血祭》
