By Christopher Blake. 2017
Linville Gorge was the first Wilderness Area on the East Coast, approved by Congress in 1964. “The Grand Canyon of…
the East” was named for William Linville, a member of a party of long hunters in 1766 who fell victim to a Shawnee attack. The difficult terrain made early settlements nearly impossible and logging unprofitable, and it remains one of the few examples of old-growth forest in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Unique rock formations, from Table Rock to the Chimneys, and miles of trails attract thousands of climbers, hikers and adventure seekers each year. In this revised edition, author Christopher Blake draws on American colonial reports, travel writings, diaries, fiction and numerous archival records to weave a narrative fabric of an American treasure.Marco Island (Images of America)
By Austin J. Bell, The Marco Island Historical Society. 2017
Marco Island projects prominently from Florida�s mainland at the peninsula�s southwestern fringe, where the waters of the Everglades and the…
Gulf of Mexico commingle. Its tropical climate, verdant landscape, unique topography, and abundant wildlife sustained prehistoric Native American cultures for centuries. The first pioneer settlers arrived in 1870, carving out a niche on the harsh Florida frontier. Bustling villages soon sprang up on the island, bolstered by strong leaders and economies centered around farming and fishing. The crash of Florida�s land boom, along with the Great Depression, devastating hurricanes, and a series of failed developments, ultimately stunted the island�s growth. Most of Marco Island was sold to the Deltona Corporation in 1964, which transformed the island into a place its early residents might find unrecognizable. Despite Marco Island�s common distinction as the largest of Florida�s Ten Thousand Islands, there are only 12 square miles of land upon which to wander�making the enormity of its history all the more remarkable.New England House Museums: A Guide To More Than 100 Mansions, Cottages, And Historical Sites

By Alex Berenson. 2003
With a new Afterword by the author and a new Foreword by Mark Cuban In this commanding big-picture analysis of…
what went wrong in corporate America, Alex Berenson, a top financial investigative reporter for The New York Times, examines the common thread connecting Enron, Worldcom, Halliburton, Computer Associates, Tyco, and other recent corporate scandals: the cult of the number. Every three months, 14,000 publicly traded companies report sales and profits to their shareholders. Nothing is more important in these quarterly announcements than earnings per share, the lodestar that investors--and these days, that's most of us--use to judge the health of corporate America. earnings per share is the number for which all other numbers are sacrificed. It is the distilled truth of a company's health. Too bad it's often a lie. Alex Berenson's The Number provides a comprehensive, brutally factual overview of how Wall Street and corporate America lost their way during the great bull market that began in 1982. With wit and a broad historical perspective, Berenson puts recent corporate accounting (or accountability) disasters in their proper context. He explains how the wheels came off the wagon, giving readers the information and analysis they need to understand Enron, Tyco, WorldCom, Halliburton, and the rest of the corporate calamities of our times.American vertigo

de l'eau et des siècles, on lui donnera d'autres noms encore : le Père des Fleuves, le Grand Boueux, le Nil d'Amérique, le "Vieil Homme" chanté par les bluesmen de Memphis - Old Man River... Creuset de culture et berceau de la civilisation américaine, le Mississippi, avec ses 4 000 kilomètres de long, ses 250 affluents prenant leur source dans 31 des Etats de l'Union et son fameux delta, est sans doute le monument naturel le plus grandiose de l'Amérique, qu'il coupe en deux telle une immense artère liquide, tantôt majestueuse, tantôt furieuse, charriant un foisonnement de paysages, d'histoires et de légendes. Depuis les guerres de colonisation jusqu'aux ravages de l'ouragan Katrina, sur les traces de Mark Twain ou de Faulkner, en compagnie des griots cajuns et des magiciens vaudous, Mario Maffi raconte les mille et une circonvolutions d'un fleuve à la richesse inépuisable. Aussi poétique qu'érudit, entre carnet de route littéraire et rêverie géographique, Mississippi s'inscrit dans la lignée du Danube de Claudio Magris ou du Radeau de la Gorgone de Dominique Fernandez." -- 4e de couvA Perfect Pint's Beer Guide to the Heartland
