Forgotten Origin is the third in a series of books dedicated to the first Homo sapiens: the Australian Aboriginal people. Steven Strong and Evan Strong continue in their investigation into the global impact of Aboriginal people sailing from; never to; Australia no less than 50;000 years ago; paying particular attention to the shared principles found within many Gnostic scriptures and the Dreaming. As radical as this theory may appear; the rigor applied; whether through mtDNA; Y Chromosomes; skull morphology or historical accounts; and the religious ancestry upon which this hidden history is founded; demands serious consideration.This is not their story. Steven Strong and Evan Strong make no claim to speak on behalf of anyone. They do; however; have the right to relay that which Aboriginal culture-custodians insist is true. The First Australians are unique; and in no way descended from Africans or any other race. Forgotten Origin is merely another reminder of this hidden truth.

Interesting with lots of little touchesBy BIn Bourbon the author connects the political history of America to bourbon; discussing the recent failed "Bourbon Summit" with Obama and McConnell and outlining why Thomas Jefferson's Whiskey Tax Repeal was not a popular move. Bourbon is every bit of an American history book as it is a bourbon history book. There are no tasting notes; but the photography; illustrations; and sidebars break up the narrative into an easy-to-read book. You can as easily flip through it and read the captions and sidebars to get the gist of the book. It's extremely interesting. I pre-ordered the hardcover and was offered the Kindle edition for a few dollars more. For a couple of extra bucks you get both (bonus to have on hand for the beach and one for the coffee table).3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Absolutely Fantastic! Pour a dram and get to reading!By J. VictorFred Minnick has compiled in one volume an erudite approach to the history of bourbon. Impeccably researched; he is not afraid to blaze new trails of discovery in things like "who is the father of Bourbon". The book is dense; rich; and demands to be read and reread. It is a must for anyone interested in getting the advanced course in bourbon whiskey and the people who have shaped it into what it is today. I recommend the hard cover book as it is beautifully put together. Something gets lost in translation to the kindle version. Its not as pretty to look at. Keep up the great work Fred!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Enjoyable and educational.By Barrie LaxAlways interested in Bourbon; since discovering J.R.
