Winter at Death's Hotel by Kenneth Cameron Pdf

Where madness and murder await you ... A Louisa Conan Doyle mystery. New York, January 1896. Arthur Conan Doyle, the renowned creator of Sherlock Holmes, arrives at the Britannic Hotel with his wife, Louisa, ready to begin his first American tour. While he prepares his lectures, Louisa becomes mesmerised by this brash, vibrant, dangerous city, especially when a woman's brutally butchered corpse is found in a Bowery alley and Louisa is convinced from the artist's sketch in the paper that she'd seen the victim at the hotel. Arthur is patronisingly sceptical about her womanly 'fantasies' but when she sprains her ankle and is forced to remain at the hotel while Arthur goes on tour, Louisa cannot resist pursuing her intuitions. And when more bodies start appearing, she's convinced that she holds the key to the killings. With the help of the hotel's hard-bitten detective and an ambitious female news reporter, Louisa starts to piece together a story of madness, murder and depravity - a story that leads inexorably back to the hotel itself, the strange story of its unique construction and a madman who is watching her every move.

Mr. Flagler’s St. Augustine by Thomas Graham Pdf

Florida Book Awards, Bronze Medal for Florida Nonfiction Florida Historical Society Charlton Tebeau Book Award Arguably no man did more to make over a city—or a state—than Henry Morrison Flagler. Almost single-handedly, he transformed the east coast of Florida from a remote frontier into the winter playground of America’s elite. Mr. Flagler’s St. Augustine tells the story of how one of the wealthiest men in America spared no expense in transforming the country’s “Oldest City” into the “Newport of the South.” He built railroads into remote areas where men feared to tread and erected palatial hotels on swampland. He funded hospitals and churches and improved streets and parks. The rich and famous flocked to his invented paradise. In tracing Flagler’s life and second career, Thomas Graham reveals much about the inner life of the former oil magnate and the demons that drove him to expand a coastal empire southward to Palm Beach, Miami, Key West, and finally Nassau. Graham also gives voice to the individuals history has forgotten: the women who wrote tourist books, the artists who decorated the hotels, the black servants who waited tables, and the journalists who filed society columns in the newspapers. Filled with fascinating details that bring the Gilded Age to life, this book will stand as the definitive history of Henry Flagler and his time in Florida.

The Skeptical Environmentalist by Bjørn Lomborg Pdf

The Skeptical Environmentalist challenges widely held beliefs that the environmental situation is getting worse and worse. The author, himself a former member of Greenpeace, is critical of the way in which many environmental organisations make selective and misleading use of the scientific evidence. Using the best available statistical information from internationally recognised research institutes, Bjørn Lomborg systematically examines a range of major environmental problems that feature prominently in headline news across the world. His arguments are presented in non-technical, accessible language and are carefully backed up by over 2500 footnotes allowing readers to check sources for themselves. Concluding that there are more reasons for optimism than pessimism, Bjørn Lomborg stresses the need for clear-headed prioritisation of resources to tackle real, not imagined problems. The Skeptical Environmentalist offers readers a non-partisan stocktaking exercise that serves as a useful corrective to the more alarmist accounts favoured by campaign groups and the media.

The Fassbind Family (2019) by Fridolin J. Fassbind Pdf

Starting in the Late Middle Ages, the Fassbind family history spans across almost a millennium until present day. Family trees go back to the 14th century and serve as orientation. Images and illustrations of personalities show the exponents of the individual Fassbind generations. Postcards of the hotel palaces during the Belle Époque reflect the pioneering spirit of the family and honors from a wide range of European royalties represent its business success. Ancestors’ achievements and notable positions in politics and military once brought influence and prestige to the family. The aforementioned appears in the first part of the book («The Golden Age»). With the outbreak of World War I, the Belle Époque ended and turbulent times dawned upon the family. The hotel business, in particular, faced lean years. These lasted until the end of World War II and put a lot of strain upon the family enterprises. The family eventually found economic relief in post-war years. At the same time, however, rapid social and technical change arose, which also took a grip of the Fassbind family and their companies. Family members had to adapt and opened a new chapter with new life and business models. Throughout this period, family ties loosened, and some branches lost contact altogether. Others continued to cultivate their relationships and met each other on a variety of family gatherings. This is especially true for the descendants of the Fassbind family in Arth and Lugano, who kept in touch throughout the decades and corresponded frequently. The second part of the book («Changing Times») focuses on these two branches. The third part of the book («A New Beginning») addresses the latest development of the Fassbind branch in Vitznau. It is the starting point for the further development of my history and that of my siblings and cousins.
