In this entertaining cultural history, Moss explores the circumstances that led to the establishment of the country club as an American social institution and its inextricable connection to the ancient, imported game of golf. Moss traces the evolution of country clubs from informal groups of golf-playing friends to "country estates" in the suburbs and eventually into public and private daily-fee courses, corporate country clubs, and gated golfing communities. The book shows how these developments reflect shifts in American values and attitudes toward health and sport, as well as changing social dynamics.

The art of the deal was perfected at the Las Vegas Country Club. For fifty years, the movers and shakers-among them bankers, attorneys, entertainers, business leaders, and, yes, mobsters-have been drawn to "the Beverly Hills of Las Vegas" to play golf, eat lunch, and chart the future of this world-renowned city. From Dean Martin to Kirk Kerkorian, the club's members have been key players in the building of Las Vegas into the major international force that it is today. The brainchild of maverick entrepreneur Marvin Kratter, The Las Vegas Country Club became an iconic community force under the visionary guidance of Las Vegas legends Irwin Molasky, Merv Adelson, Moe Dalitz, and Allard Roen. And it also evolved into the social mecca of a young Las Vegas. The club has a glorious sports history, having hosted many high-profile professional golf tournaments and provided court time for tennis greats. A who's who of celebrities has reveled in the club's lush grounds, including Frank Sinatra, Bill Clinton, Andre Agassi, Bill Cosby, and many more.

ONE OF THE GRAND EXPERIMENTS OF AMERICAN URBAN PLANNING lies tucked within the heart of Kansas City. J.C. Nichols prized the Country Club District as his life's work, and the scope of his vision required fifty years of careful development. Begun in 1905 and extending over a swath of six thousand acres, the project attracted national attention to a city still forging its identity. While the district is home to many of Kansas City's most exclusive residential areas and commercial properties, its boundaries remain unmarked and its story largely unknown. Follow LaDene Morton along the well-appointed boulevards of this model community's rich legacy.

The Donald Ross-designed golf course at the Elks and Wyandot Country Clubs was celebrated as one of Ohio's best from its ballyhooed beginnings in 1923 until its closing in 1952. During its too-short history, the course and the two clubs associated with it overcame many obstacles, including a lack of money and resources during the Great Depression and lack of materials and manpower during World War II. Home to the 1931 Ohio Amateur and the 1948 Columbus Invitational, its membership roll included three-time major champion Denny Shute. Author Bill Case covers the birdies, bogeys and pars in this long-overdue chronicle of a lost jewel from golf's golden age.

The Hidden Face of Terrorism raises serious questions about the contentions of self-anointed terrorist experts that populate orthodox academia. From ancient Rome to the WTC, Paul Collins presents largely ignored or understated facts to show that the majority of terrorist acts throughout history have been state- sponsored enterprises. In turn, the national governments that sponsor terrorism are merely implementation instruments of a criminal elite suffering from Olympian delirium. The final objective of this ruling class conspiracy is the completion of an enormous social engineering project, the outcome of which could hold serious ramifications for human civilization as we know it.
