Detective Zack - Secrets in the Sand by Jerry D Thomas

The importance of intuition in aromatherapy blending, essential and base oil selection and bodywork is the focus of Gill Farrer-Halls' authoritative new book. Drawing on her extensive experience as a practicing aromatherapist and aromatherapy teacher, she explores ways of increasing intuitive awareness of the nature and depth of individual essential oils, and takes the reader through meditative techniques that can help practitioners deepen their practice. She goes on to show how an intuitive and meditative approach can, with time, transform clinical practice, and help practitioners create original, effective, synergistic and holistic blends as well as develop and enhance on-going work with clients.

An important resource on the use of intuitive inner wisdom in aromatherapy practice, this book will be of interest and practical use to aromatherapists, bodywork practitioners, students of aromatherapy and all who are interested in essential oils.

Jeremiah (Jerry) Thomas was a pioneering American bartender who is known as the Father of American Mixology for popularizing cocktails in the United States. His showmanship cemented the bartender's reputation as a creative professional. He studied his trade in the East, but during the gold rush in California, he worked as a bartender, St. New York, St. Louis, Chicago, Charleston, and New Orleans Thomas even went on tour in Europe, demonstrating his intricate, showy mixology techniques while juggling bottles, glasses, and mixers.

He eventually returned to New York, where he established his most famous tavern between 21st and 22nd Streets on Broadway. He was once paid $100 each week, which was more than the vice president of the United States. When he died of apoplexy in 1885, he was remembered with a large number of obituaries published across the country. Thomas was formerly better known to club men and men about town than any other bartender in the city, according to the New York Times, and he was immensely popular among all classes.
