The Hard Sell of Paradise examines how mid-twentieth-century Hollywood, negotiating the rhetoric of the tourism industry, offered a complex and contradictory vision of "Hawai'i" for its audiences. From the classic studio system and elite tourism of the 1930s to a postwar era of mass travel, TV, and new leisure markets, the book explores how an eclectic group of populist media reflected the language of tourism not only through its narratives of leisure, but also through its complex engagement with larger cultural and historical questions, such as colonialism, world war, and statehood. Drawing on rare archival research, The Hard Sell of Paradise also explores the valuable role that tourism partners such as United Airlines, Matson Cruise Lines, and the Hawaii Tourist Bureau played in directly and indirectly influencing such films and television shows as Waikiki Wedding, Diamond Head, Blue Hawaii, The Endless Summer, and Hawaii Five-O.

Originally published in 1979: This is an unusual history of a small town in the once heavily forested hills and valleys of the upper Hudson River. The story starts in pre-glacial times, follows through when white men discovered the great timber lands and when the place was an outlying area of Queensbury called Westfield. It continues through its birth as a town called Fairfield, then Luzerne, and later, Lake Luzerne. It tells of a great tannery and other industries and its surge of popularity as a summer resort. It mentions names from the first loggers to the first town council, and down to the present day (1979).Exploited for its timber by British loyalists, settled by soldiers of Scotch, Irish, Welsh, and English ancestry, infused with French from Canada and seaports near Manhattan, and strengthened with occasional Germanic and Italian immigrants, the new town became a small melting pot of home-seeking folk from the old country. This typical American mix is reflected in the birth and growth of the town.
