DOWNLOAD EBOOKEarly in the 1900s, one-time oil baron Henry Morrison Flagler took interest in the Southern coast of Florida and began developing an exclusive resort community. Establishing a railroad that would allow easier access to the area, he went on to build two hotels—his hope was that America’s first families would come to populate the area. This modest community would later evolve into an iconic American destination, hosting British royalty, American movie stars, and becoming the home-away-from-home to some of the country’s leading families. As the century continued, Palm Beach established itself as a luxury hideaway synonymous with old-world glamour and new-world sophistication. In this splendid volume, longtime resident and Palm Beach social fixture Aerin Lauder takes us through her Palm Beach. From favorite restaurants like Nandos and Renatos, to favorite houses like La Follia and Villa Artemis, she takes us to the elite shopping of Worth Avenue and the scenic walkways of the Lake Worth trail, all the while relating to us the histories, faces, and places that have become so identified with Palm Beach.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPoetry. Moving from the Enlightenment science of natural history to the contemporary science of global warming, LIGHT LIGHT is a provocative engagement with the technologies and languages that shape discourses of knowing. It bridges the histories of botany, empire, and mind to take up the claim of "objectivity" as the dissolution of a discrete self and thus explores the mind's movement toward and with the world. The poems in LIGHT LIGHT range from the epigrammatic to the experimental, from the narrative to the lyric, consistently exploring the way language captures the undulation of a mind's working, how that rhythm becomes the embodiment of thought, and how that embodiment forms a politics engaged with the environment and its increasing alterations."LIGHT LIGHT puts the hive back in the archive, the source in the resource. Through Joosten's miraculous mode of attending, through this mind that 'grounds sound to seed, ' we are elemented--'The mind is a mood of electricity, warmth, water, and wind.' We are given a mode of attending that is precarious, is an enactment of the precariousness we are and, with consequence, institute. Each thing this attention falls upon 'is a source of thought, not its object.' So everything is light once we learn to see by it. To honor the field we should 'leave the field, ' but this book we should never leave."--Jane Gregory"A concordance that emerges as material, thought, and material thought, Julie Joosten's LIGHT LIGHT is a most beautiful and rare breed: as if H.D.'s Sea Garden mated with Erasmus Darwins The Loves of the Plants. 'I was to guard the valley, name it, speak to it by name, ' Joosten writes. Hers is a haunting lament. It is what love is. What could be more necessary at this time on this planet?"--Cara Benson
