Download or read book Rock Springs written by Russel L. Tanner and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10-06 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ancient inland sea, surrounded by lush vegetation and inhabited by dinosaurs, helped create the mineral-rich landscape where Rock Springs, Wyoming, now sits. French trappers first encountered American Indians who were traveling via a natural corridor that traverses the region, and eventually pioneer trails used this same route in the great westward expansion. The First Transcontinental Railroad arrived in 1868, and the national demand for energy in the form of fossil fuels turned everyones attention to the vast coal deposits. Thus the frontier outpost of Rock Springs became an important energy center, and immigrants from around the world came to work in the mines and make this land their home. As local businessman Leonard Hay used to say, All wealth comes from the earth. Today other minerals have joined coal as new sources of wealth for Rock Springs, and plans are being made to harness the wind that carved out this unique landscape.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A modern classic of true crime, set in a most beguiling Southern city—now in a 30th anniversary edition with a new afterword by the author “Elegant and wicked . . . might be the first true-crime book that makes the reader want to book a bed and breakfast for an extended weekend at the scene of the crime.”—The New York Times Book Review Shots rang out in Savannah’s grandest mansion in the misty, early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. In this sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative, John Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case. It is a spellbinding story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman’s Card Club; the turbulent young gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the “soul of pampered self-absorption”; the uproariously funny drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young people dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight. These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else. Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a sublime and seductive reading experience.

Download or read book Googie Redux written by Alan Hess and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2004-10-14 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book that helped spark the retro craze for fifties architecture and introduced the term googie to the world is back! First published by Chronicle in 1986, this key survey of mid-century coffee shop and commercial architecture is still the standard work on the subject Googie Redux is a thoroughly revised and expanded edition of the classic and perennial top-selling book that rekindled the craze for 1950s coffee shop and commercial architecture. Long derided by critics as popular folly, the style - so named after John Lautner's eccentric Los Angeles coffee shop - was emblematic of Southern California's car-oriented architecture. By the time of the first edition's debut, these buildings were being demolished by the score. Alan Hess' 1985 Chronicle book did much not only to educate, legitimize, and popularize the style that characterized this endangered architecture, but it helped spark a resurgence of interest into midcentury modern design. Completely revised and significantly expanded in both text and images (some of them recently unearthed for this edition), this redesigned package features is still an entertaining and informative look at the rise, fall, and resurgence of the commercial architecture that changed the American landscape. Includes a greatly expanded guided tour of the iconic buildings in Southern California.

Download or read book Preserving the Great Plains & Rocky Mountains written by Elaine Freed and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we approach the end of the century, we are all too familiar with the look of modern America: the suburbs, the strip malls, the glass office towers, and especially in the West--the prevalence of urban sprawl. The area covered by this book includes New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, North and South Dakota, Illinois, Nebraska, and Wyoming, a vast and varied section of the country with remarkably diverse geography. Elaine Freed has covered huge amounts of territory to present this lively and well-illustrated study of the architecture and the preservation history of the Great Plains and Rocky Mountain West. The book is divided into five sections. The first part focuses on the vernacular architecture of the region, the traditions of Native American and Spanish dwellings that Anglo settlers found, and the first makeshift, sometimes mobile structures they built, including trading posts, mills and mining camps, forts, and ranches. The author discusses the railroads and how they made possible the urbanization of the West, and how the automobile has altered the landscape. The second part focuses on historic preservation as an organized movement in the West, using different kinds of preservation to illustrate successes. There are chapters on farms and ranches, ghost towns, main streets, neighborhoods, and downtowns. For anyone concerned with preserving our environment and its architectural and archaeological history, this book is an indispensable guide.
