Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing numerous themes, including leisure, state-promoted tourism, citizenship, and business investment, Godefroy Desrosiers-Lauzon considers advertisements, movies, policymakers, and the behaviour of snowbirds in Florida to provide the most thorough study of the vacation state to date. He also looks at the temporary communities of Canadians, Québecois, New Englanders, and Mid- Westerners that develop, showing how they blur the lines that usually divide national and regional identities, and youth and age. An insightful work full of amusing details, Florida's Snowbirds pieces together a complete cultural atlas of Florida Snowbirds that goes far beyond the familiar postcards they send home

Download or read book Your Fondest Annie written by Annie O'Donnell and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annie O'Donnell left her native Galway for America in 1898, one of 15,175 Irish women who left that year; they far outnumbered the men, and most of them went into domestic service. She became friends with Jim Phelan on the ship to Philadelphia. He was a 22-year-old farmer from Co. Kilkenny who had run away from home during Sunday mass to join his uncle, a tilesetter in Indianapolis. Annie went to work as a children's nurse for the W. L. Mellon family of Pittsburgh. Her letters to Jim Phelan, published here for the first time, are a unique contribution to the growing literature on women's emigration: they provide a sustained three-year narrative of her life as a children's nurse. Annie O'Donnell had been well educated in Ireland and her letters are lively and enjoyable to read. Maureen Murphy has provided an introduction and notes to the letters.

Book excerpt: An Instant New York Times Bestseller “A first-rate financial thriller . . . Lucky Loser is one of those rare Trump books that deserve, even demand, to be read.” –Alexander Nazaryan, The New York Times From the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters behind the 2018 bombshell New York Times exposé of then-President Trump’s finances, an explosive investigation into the history of Donald Trump’s wealth, revealing how one of the country’s biggest business failures lied his way into the White House Soon after announcing his first campaign for the US presidency, Donald J. Trump told a national television audience that life “has not been easy for me. It has not been easy for me.” Building on a narrative he had been telling for decades, he spun a hardscrabble fable of how he parlayed a small loan from his father into a multi-billion-dollar business and real estate empire. This feat, he argued, made him singularly qualified to lead the country. Except: None of it was true. Born to a rich father who made him the beneficiary of his own highly lucrative investments, Trump received the equivalent of more than $500 million today via means that required no business expertise whatsoever. Drawing on over twenty years’ worth of Trump’s confidential tax information, including the tax returns he tried to conceal, alongside business records and interviews with Trump insiders, New York Times investigative reporters Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig track Trump's financial rise and fall, and rise and fall again. For decades, he squanders his fortunes on money losing businesses, only to be saved yet again by financial serendipity. He tacks his name above the door of every building, while taking out huge loans he’ll never repay. He obsesses over appearances, while ignoring threats to the bottom line and mounting costly lawsuits against city officials. He tarnishes the value of his name by allowing anyone with a big enough check to use it, and cheats the television producer who not only rescues him from bankruptcy but casts him as a business savant – the public image that will carry him to the White House. A masterpiece of narrative reporting, Lucky Loser is a meticulous examination spanning nearly a century, filled with scoops from Trump Tower, Mar-a-Lago, Atlantic City, and the set of The Apprentice. At a moment when Trump’s tether to success and power is more precarious than ever, here for the first time is the definitive true accounting of Trump and his money – what he had, what he lost, and what he has left – and the final word on the myth of Trump, the self-made billionaire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Land Remembered has become Florida's favorite novel. Now this Student Edition in two volumes makes this rich, rugged story of the American pioneer spirit more accessible to young readers. Patrick Smith tells of three generations of the MacIveys, a Florida family battling the hardships of the frontier. The story opens in 1858, when Tobias and Emma MacIvey arrive in the Florida wilderness with their son, Zech, to start a new life, and ends in 1968 with Solomon MacIvey, who realizes that his wealth has not been worth the cost to the land. Between is a sweeping story rich in Florida history with a cast of memorable characters who battle wild animals, rustlers, Confederate deserters, mosquitoes, starvation, hurricanes, and freezes to carve a kingdom out of the Florida swamp. In this volume, meet young Zech MacIvey, who learns to ride like the wind through the Florida scrub on Ishmael, his marshtackie horse, his dogs, Nip and Tuck, at this side. His parents, Tobias and Emma, scratch a living from the land, gathering wild cows from the swamp and herding them across the state to market. Zech learns the ways of the land from the Seminoles, with whom his life becomes entwined as he grows into manhood. Next in series > > See all of the books in this series

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1940s, once the full impact of World War II was assessed, the world witnessed major legal developments in both modern trade and human rights. Since then, volumes have been written about modern trade law, and human rights law has seen an equal amount of attention. While these topics constitute two of the most active spheres in international law, follow similar intellectual trajectories, and often feature the same key actors and arenas, neither field has actively engaged with the other. They co-exist in relative isolation at best, peppered by occasional hostile debates. It has come to be a given that pro-trade laws are not good for human rights, and legislation that protects human rights hampers vibrant international trade.In a bold departure from this canon, "Just Trade" makes a case for reaching a middle-ground between these two fields, acknowledging their co-existence and the significant points at which they overlap. Using actual examples from many of the thirty-five nations of the Western Hemisphere, the authors - one a human rights scholar and the other specializing in trade law - carefully combine their expertise to examine human rights policies involving conscripted child labor, sustainable development, promotion of health, equality of women, human trafficking, indigenous peoples, poverty, citizenship, and economic sanctions, never overlooking the very real human rights problems that arise from international trade.However, instead of viewing the two kinds of law as isolated, polar, and sometimes hostile opposites, Berta Esperanza Hernandez-Truyol and Stephen J. Powell make powerful suggestions for how these intersections may be navigated to promote an international marketplace that embraces both liberal trade and liberal protection of human rights.

Book excerpt: Religions of this world in its history, would number as many as the stars. Religion has been central in forming nations from antiquity. In the beginning there was one God, one faith. After the Flood of Noah, in short time Nimrods babylonish religious teachings eventually infiltrated every religion known to man its apostate religion, even to Christendom. Religions of this world have failed mankind miserably, with Christendom at the forefront. The scandelouse expose of homosexual and pedophile priest and ministers is an outrage and is only the tip of the ice burg. They shall reap what they have shown. Matthew 7:22:23; Titus 1:6. Religion Needs Truth and Purity We must obey God as Ruler rather than men New Book exposes corruption existing in Christendom Philadelphia, PA Religions of this world in its history, would number as many as the stars. Religion has been central in forming nations from antiquity. In the beginning there was one God, one faith. After the Flood of Noah, in short time Nimrods Babylonish religious teachings eventually infiltrated every religion in its apostate teachings, including Christendom. The teachings of Christendom are at opposite ends of the pure teachings of Christianity that Christ taught to his early disciples. Christendom has always persecuted the true Christians over the centuries, even to death. The harlots meddling in the politics of the world has brought on untold misery and suffering on mankind for almost 1700 years now. This book exposes her harlotry and false teachings that have misled, and are misleading those that wish to please God. Concerning this harlot they shall reap what they have sown. Revelation 17:1,2,5,6,18 and18:3. Xlibris releases Ron C. Kimreys compelling new book Mea-Culpa. The text is a comprehensive realization of how religion has played the major role in the development of government and society in the main, from Eden until our present time. Readers will discover how precisely the philosophy and traditions of man had taken over the daily movements of mankind whether we are aware of it or not. The book looks at false teachings and how they crept into Christendom, which is a very far cry from the Christianity that Jesus Christ first taught, and at the same time it exposes Apostate Christendom as the Harlot of Revelation. Interestingly, this book also explores some details about the homosexual and pedophile scandals of the Catholic Church and her priesthood, which reveals the harlots corruption within. With its daring views and in-depth details, Mea-Culpa is a striking book to read as it reveals just how corrupt Christendom has always been since its inception from the time of the death of Christs apostles, and how religion has failed because It has not practiced the truth of Gods INSPIRED WORD, THE HOLY BIBLE. Furthermore, Kimreys book shows that Christendoms hatred of the truth has caused unmentionable suffering on true Christians and mankind itself. Mea-Culpa is now available for ordering online at Xlibris.com and at your local book retailer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art Deco design is a jazzy celebration of the Machine Age, mass production, geometry, and the straight line. In Palm Beach County, sleek themes are seen representing tropical, nautical, masculine, and stylized motifs that reflect speed and technology. Elements include eyebrows, flat roofs, porthole windows, rounded corners, columns, glass blocks, bandings, multiples of three, and Zig-Zag steps. Palm Beach County has dozens of Art Deco treasures built throughout the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, which are located in the downtowns of Delray Beach up through West Palm Beach. Art Deco architecture found in Palm Beach County is spread out rather than concentrated in one location. These buildings are significant to the history of South Florida because they represent some of the earliest structures ever built in the area. These remarkable gems are in danger of being demolished due to the ever-increasing amount of development throughout the county.
