House of Gold by Natasha Solomons Pdf

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER From the New York Times bestselling author of The House at Tyneford, an epic family saga about a headstrong Austrian heiress who will be forced to choose between the family she's made and the family that made her at the outbreak of World War I. The start of a marriage. The end of a dynasty. It's 1911 and Greta Goldbaum is forced to move from glittering Vienna to damp England to wed Albert, a distant cousin. The Goldbaum family are one of the wealthiest in the world, with palaces across Europe, but as Jews and perpetual outsiders they know that strength lies in family. At first defiant and lonely, slowly Greta softens toward Albert, and as the wild paths and untamed beauty of Greta's new English garden begin to take shape, so too does their love begin to blossom. But World War I looms and even the influential Goldbaums cannot alter its course. For the first time in two hundred years, the family will find itself on opposing sides, and Greta will have to choose: the family she's created, or the one she left behind.

The Gold House by John Clarence,Thomas G. Whittle Pdf

The Gold House, The Lies, The Thefts proves that millions of dollars in gold were stolen from the Noss treasure shortly after 1958, thefts carried out with the knowledge of certain individuals in the military at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. These thefts were cloaked with a top-secret classification to mask the criminal nature of the military’s activities. This highly documented investigation provides overwhelming evidence that should be known to every American who cares about their country and the ideals upon which this nation was founded. The most highly documented account that gold was illegally removed from the Noss treasure occurred during the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend in November 1973 when 36.5 tons of gold was stolen from the treasure; evidence points to President Richard Nixon’s involvement. As startling as Nixon’s alleged connection to the mega-million-dollar theft was, so too was the elaborate cover-up in 1974 by Major General Arthur H. Sweeney, Jr., White Sands’ commanding general at the time. Evidence that the 1973 extraction occurred include: 1) An FBI document regarding the theft disclosed, “...two individuals at The First National Bank in Albuquerque were handling the sale of the gold and that Handy & Harman’s secondary refinery in El Monte, California, was handling the sale of the gold overseas.” 2) Warehouse receipts describing a large number of steel drums containing the stolen gold, backed up by an FBI report describing the contents of the drums as “ingots.” On four of the seventy-two steel drums the “Warehouse Receipt Holder” was “FIRST NATIONAL BANK IN ALBUQUERQUE.” 3) A series of nine money-laundering agreements used to convert the stolen gold and disguise its origin. 4) Evidence that a CIA operative was used as the courier to move the stolen gold out of the United States. 5) The involvement of top Nixon aide John Ehrlichman. 6) The cover-up of the theft by agent Herb Greathouse of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. These allegations are supported by a large number of letters, official government documents, affidavits, money-laundering agreements, and many interviews.

The Gold House by John Clarence Pdf

The Gold House Trilogy is a highly documented account of never-before-known historic facts concerning Victorio Peak, a small mountain located on White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The story begins in the 1930s at a place called the Hembrillo Basin, a rugged desert area in New Mexico at a time when Doc and Ova Noss discovered a vast treasure there, a discovery unmatched in the northern hemisphere. The events that took place from the early days of the discovery until Doc Noss was murdered in 1949, up to and including 1955 when the military at White Sands Missile Range evicted Ova Noss from the treasure site are told in great detail. Ova Noss' eviction was followed by a string of thefts by the military, a windfall for select individuals at White Sands Missile Range who helped themselves to the gold, a never-ending payday for those who plundered it.

Making Gray Gold by Timothy Diamond Pdf

This first hand report on the work of nurses and other caregivers in a nursing home is set powerfully in the context of wider political, economic, and cultural forces that shape and constrain the quality of care for America's elderly. Diamond demonstrates in a compelling way the price that business-as-usual policies extract from the elderly as well as those whose work it is to care for them. In a society in which some two million people live in 16,000 nursing homes, with their numbers escalating daily, this thought-provoking work demands immediate and widespread attention. "[An] unnerving portrait of what it's like to work and live in a nursing home. . . . By giving voice to so many unheard residents and workers Diamond has performed an important service for us all."—Diane Cole, New York Newsday "With Making Gray Gold, Timothy Diamond describes the commodification of long-term care in the most vivid representation in a decade of round-the-clock institutional life. . . . A personal addition to the troublingly impersonal national debate over healthcare reform."—Madonna Harrington Meyer, Contemporary Sociology

Leaving the Pink House by Ladette Randolph Pdf

Ladette Randolph understands her life best through the houses she has inhabited. From the isolated farmhouse of her childhood, to the series of houses her family occupied in small towns across Nebraska as her father pursued his dream of becoming a minister, to the equally small houses she lived in as a single mother and graduate student, houses have shaped her understanding of her place in the world and served as touchstones for a life marked by both constancy and endless cycles of change. On September 12, 2001, Randolph and her husband bought a dilapidated farmhouse on twenty acres outside Lincoln, Nebraska, and set about gutting and rebuilding the house themselves. They had nine months to complete the work. The project, undertaken at a time of national unrest and uncertainty, led Randolph to reflect on the houses of her past and the stages of her life that played out in each, both painful and joyful. As the couple struggles to bring the dilapidated house back to life, Randolph simultaneously traces the contours of a life deeply shaped by the Nebraska plains, where her family has lived for generations, and how those roots helped her find the strength to overcome devastating losses as a young adult. Weaving together strands of departures and arrivals, new houses and deep roots, cycles of change and the cycles of the seasons, Leaving the Pink House is a richly layered and compelling memoir of the meaning of home and family, and how they can never really leave us, even if we leave them.
