[Read by Corey Snow]Dane Huckelbridge charts the surprisingly fascinating history of Americans' relationship with their most popular alcoholic beverage. Huckelbridge shows how beer has evolved along with the country-- from the time when every American city has its own brewery and iconic beer brand to the rise of global mega-brands like Budweiser and Miller that are synonymous with US capitalism. We learn about nineteenth-century beer barons like Captain Frederick Pabst, Adolphus Busch, and Joseph Schlitz, and how their brewing empires tied in the with American immigrant experience, as well of brewing and bottling technology that allowed beer to flow in the saloons of the Wild West.

American Sniper meets Jaws in this gripping true account of the deadliest animal of all time, the Champawat Tiger--responsible for killing more than 400 hundred humans in northern India in the first decade of the twentieth century--and the legendary hunter who finally brought it down.
At the turn of the twentieth century, in the forested foothills of the Himalayas between India and Nepal, a large Bengal tiger began preying on humans. Between 1900 and 1907, the fearsome beast locals called the Champawat Man-Eater claimed 436 lives. Successfully evading both hunters and soldiers from the Nepalese army and growing bolder with its kills, the tiger--commonly a nocturnal predator--prowled settlements and roadways even in broad daylight. Entire villages were virtually abandoned.
Desperate for help, authorities appealed to Jim Corbett, an Indian-born officer in the British Indian Army and local hunter intimately familiar with the Champawat forest. Like a police detective on the trail of a human killer, Corbett questioned villagers who had encountered the tiger and began tracking its movements in the dense, hilly woodlands--while the animal began to hunt Corbett in return. When the big cat attacked a teenager and dragged her away, Corbett followed the blood trail deep into the forest--a harrowing, dramatic chase that would ultimately end the maneater's long reign of terror.
In this rip-roaring adventure and compelling natural history, Dane Huckelbridge recreates one of the great adventure stories of the twentieth century, bringing into focus a principled, disciplined soldier, hunter, and conservationist--who would later earn fame for his devotion to saving the Bengal tiger and its habitat--and the beautiful, terrifying animal he patiently pursued. Written with the thrilling immediacy of John Vaillant's The Tiger, Susan Casey's The Devil's Teeth, and Nate Blakeslee's American Wolf, No Beast So Fierce is an enthralling depiction of a classic battle between man and animal, human encroachment and wild nature that resonates today.
