Book Description
Featured in films and on television and used as a backdrop to countless photos, the Brooklyn Heights Promenade offers the public a view that is usually reserved for the rich at the top of a tower. From this one-third-mile stretch, locals and tourists take in the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and New York Harbor. But its history is less harmonious. Plans by the powerful Robert Moses to run the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway through a resistant neighborhood led to contention and an unforeseen eventual compromise. In this volume, Brooklyn Heights Press editor Henrik Krogius presents this history, along with his articles that document the fate of the Promenade over the years.

Book Description
It begins with a woman's search to find her husband, who disappears after watching a TV show. She enlists the aid of her husband's best friend, and together they discover that the famous female personality of the TV show disappeared after the same evening's broadcast as well. The duo's search leads to a battle within a religious cult. Each answer brings only more questions, until the story's stunning final solution is revealed. Promenade of the Gods is a parallel piece to Koji Suzuki's successful Ring series and even contains some sl nods to his famous work. Its theme of planet-wide subjugation via technology echoes that in Ring, and like Ring, the way in which the pieces of the mystery in Promenade come together only materialize in the book's final moments, culminating in a most unsettling conclusion.

ANNOUNCING “MADISON AVENUE MAGIC PROMENADE,” A MEMOIR BY INFLUENTIAL BUSINESSWOMAN AND FASHION DESIGNER ALICE SCHWEITZER *** The glamour of haute couture, the thrill of international travel and the remarkable achievements of an unflappable businesswoman and humanitarian come to life in “Madison Avenue Magic Promenade,” a memoir by award-winning fashion designer Alice Schweitzer. Now age 87, the French–born Ms. Schweitzer spent years chronicling a life spent in Europe, Africa and America. A gifted fashion designer with a head for business, Ms. Schweitzer tells how she became the first woman to open a clothing boutique on New York City’s Madison Avenue. She also instituted the Madison Avenue Promenade, an annual outdoor public fashion show that helped seal the fate of Madison Avenue as New York’s premiere fashion center. New York’s Mayor Lindsay honored Ms. Schweitzer for her contributions to the city, and the French Embassy Commerce Department gave her a medal for her role in bringing haute couture to America. Fashion designers Vittorio Missoni and Valentino, as well as hair designer Vidal Sassoon were among her friends and professional admirers. Facing countless personal and societal obstacles, Ms. Schweitzer triumphed as an influential fashion designer and independent businesswoman. She ran boutiques in Manhattan and Beverly Hills from the 1950s through the 1970s, and regularly received attention from celebrities and the press. At the same time, she pursued her humanitarian ideals and used her influence to actively campaign against hunger in Africa. “Madison Avenue Magic Promenade” is a touching and inspiring story of one woman’s creativity, intelligence and passion. Originally written for her family, Ms. Schweitzer's memoir provides a personal look at a remarkable life. The book is a compelling autobiography, and confirms Ms. Schweitzer’s prominent place in the history of American fashion.

Book Description
Alexander York’s plot revolves around a stolen prized Munkácsy Mihály painting, with all the leading characters involved in the saga for entirely different reasons. One wants possession of it, one apprehends it and one – who actually had no part – takes the blame. Obsessed by the artistic spirit of the painting, they all realise they have taken on a venture beyond their grasp. Sir Edward finally realises this as he loses his mind over a desire he must fulfil. Can he afford to abandon his societal position for what he really wants? Will the less fortunate Ruby Rouge surrender her love for the painting and move on from Sir Edward and her peaked singing career? Finally, after being left with no choice, good faith takes her to “Munkácsy territory” in Ukraine. The once privileged Percy Lloyd, a champagne socialist and small-time criminal, discovers he is Europe’s most wanted man and needs a friend to bail him out. But there is one thing he must do before getting free from the Munkácsy affair, or so he hopes. The story swings from a Camford graduating ceremony to industrial Newcastle, then to art galleries in Paris and Budapest before rounding off in a Munkácsy exhibition in Talanok Castle, Ukraine, with its Shakespearian atmosphere. Eventually the painting returns to the same home as before. But what is no longer the same is all those involved. This prized illicit booty has changed their lives, some for better, some for worse. Who will succeed beyond this particular promenade?
