| houdini south amazon: Lake Union: The Public Face of Prosperity Marques Vickers, 2019-01-09 This edition is an ongoing architectural pictorial survey of Seattle’s Lake Union district. Documenting the city’s explosive growth downtown, the profiled mid-rise and high-rise developments cover the period of 2016-2024. The photography captures the projects from a variety of completion stages and perspective angles. The Lake Union sector was historically composed of single storied shops, residential dwellings, light industry and boatyards. Lake Union is a freshwater passage contained entirely within Seattle’s city limits. It was originally formed by the melting of the Vashon Glacier waters and officially named by Seattle pioneer Thomas Mercer in 1854. Mercer correctly forecasted that with effective damming and canals, the eventual union of Lake Washington and Puget Sound could be completed. The Duwamish and Chinook native tribes called the body small waters. The Boeing Corporation initiated production facilities in 1916. The shoreline for decades remained principally shipyards, wharfs, sawmills and diminutive restaurant and retail outlets. The high technology industry has completely altered the commercials emphasis. The chronic Seattle housing shortage has accentuated a similar boom for elevated residential properties. The city of Seattle appears to be playing infrastructure catch-up. Numerous additional developments under construction and in the planning stages will test the resiliency of the boom era. Optimistic visions towards a vibrant downtown core continue forward. With each subsequent monolith downtown, Seattle solidifies its claim as a building showcase of twenty-first century architecture design, credibility, and stature. Growth has remained an insatiable surge for the high technology industry to maintain its frenetic pace. Perhaps soon, Seattle and such a volatile industry will arrive at a crossroad where sustaining such expansion becomes problematic and difficult to sustain. The Lake Union shoreline has become forever changed. Most of the completed high-rise buildings featured in this edition are less than twenty years old. More are anticipated and currently in diverse stages of planning and completion. With the nature of commercial and remote employment evolving, can the occupancy rates maintain the financial equilibrium necessary the keep these projects solvent and profitable? The contemporary project designs are primarily compositions of steel, glass, and concrete creating innovate structural geometry and exterior skins. The most notable shift within in Lake Union district has occurred since the beginning of this illustrated directory. In the area of Seattle’s Denny Triangle, larger monolithic structures have begun to tower over the more modest Lake Union shoreline mid-rises. Amazon has expanded their corporate growth and base, but in some instances to the detriment of Seattle. Their demand for office space has shifted to Bellevue with several completed projects and others nearing completion. The future is less certain for the Lake Union district than four years ago, but at the present time, still generally optimistic. |

| houdini south amazon: The Secret Life of Houdini William Kalush, Larry Sloman, 2008-09-04 Using exclusive access to newly uncovered archives, Kalush and Sloman reveal the clandestine agreements in which the British and Americans recruited Houdini to be an active secret agent. In exchange for his cooperation, the governments of these two countries facilitated his rise to the top of the world stage. The authors give thrilling accounts of his assignments, such as his participation in early aerial surveillance and his use of his own magic magazine to communicate espionage-related information. After the war, Houdini embarked upon what became his most dangerous mission when he took on the Spiritualist movement. Convinced that Spiritualist mediums were frauds, he became obsessed with exposing them. But the Spiritualists were a powerful adversary. An organized network of fanatics, led by Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle, worked relentlessly to orchestrate a campaign that would silence Houdini forever. Grounded in solid research, but as exciting and dramatic as a good thriller, THE SECRET LIFE OF HOUDINI traces the magician's long and circuitous route from struggling vaudevillian to worldwide legend. |

| houdini south amazon: The Magician and the Spirits Deborah Noyes, 2017-08-22 “Noyes makes history accessible and irresistible . . . Excellent.”* A century ago, the curious idea that spirits not only survive death but can be contacted on the “other side” was widespread. Psychic mediums led countless séances, claiming to connect the grieving with their lost relations through everything from frenzied trance writing to sticky expulsions of ectoplasm. The craze caught Harry Houdini’s attention. Well-known by then as most renowned magician and escape artist, he began to investigate these spiritual phenomena. Are ghosts real? Can we communicate with them? Catch them in photographs? Or are all mediums “flim-flammers,” employing tricks and illusions like Houdini himself? Peopled with odd and fascinating characters, Houdini’s gripping quest will excite readers’ universal wonderment with life, death, and the possibility of the Beyond. *School Library Journal, starred review of Ten Days a Madwoman |

| houdini south amazon: Seattle La città, la musica, le storie Valeria Sgarella, 2021-01-04 Una guida sentimentale di Seattle, città americana che vive all’ombra di altre e più note metropoli come San Francisco, New York e Chicago, ma che, nell’ultimo decennio, ha giocato un ruolo fondamentale nel mondo tecnologico, tanto da meritare la definizione di “Silicon Valley del Nord”, nonché un posto nella top ten delle città più ricche degli Stati Uniti. Si parte dai luoghi che hanno accompagnato la nascita della musica grunge, ripercorrendo strade, locali, sale d’incisione e parchi, e si arriva ai giorni nostri, raccontando la genesi di imprese e grandi marchi che a Seattle sono nati, e che dominano l’economia mondiale: Microsoft, Starbucks e Amazon tra gli altri. Un percorso che si propone di trovare un filo conduttore tra la Seattle oscura ma gloriosa di ieri e la Seattle stravagante ma selettiva di oggi, e lo fa avvalendosi di voci che questa città la conoscono bene. Non solo: l’autrice ha percorso questi luoghi a più riprese, accompagnata da persone che hanno fatto parte integrante della scena grunge e che sono state delle vere e proprie guide, nonché fonti di prima mano. Il comune denominatore tra passato e presente, come si vedrà presto, è la natura. Seattle è una città in cui acqua, aria, terra e fuoco hanno giocato un ruolo fondamentale nella storia. Una storia che spesso è passata dalla morte per ritrovare la vita. Valeria Sgarella , giornalista e scrittrice milanese, ha svolto attività radiofonica per oltre vent’anni come autrice e speaker, e ha lavorato a MTV Italia nel settore produzione. Ha scritto di musica per una serie di riviste musicali e non. Ha pubblicato la biografia del cantautore americano Andy Wood e la storia della casa discografica Sub Pop Records. |
| houdini south amazon: Adventures of a Young Naturalist David Attenborough, 2018-05-01 A GREAT BOOK. --THE NEW YORK TIMES MARVELOUS. --THE TELEGRAPH A RARE GLIMPSE OF A FLEDGLING DAVID ATTENBOROUGH IN THE WILD. --VANITY FAIR Living legend and presenter of BBC's Planet Earth series Sir David Attenborough tells the story of his early career as a broadcaster and a naturalist in his own words. In 1954, David Attenborough, a young television presenter, was offered the opportunity of a lifetime--to travel the world finding rare and elusive animals for the London Zoo's collection, and to film the expedition for the BBC for a new show called Zoo Quest. This is the story of those voyages. Staying with local tribes while trekking in search of giant anteaters in Guyana, Komodo dragons in Indonesia, and armadillos in Paraguay, he and the rest of the team contended with cannibal fish, aggressive tree porcupines, and escape-artist wild pigs, as well as treacherous terrain and unpredictable weather, to record the incredible beauty and biodiversity of these regions. Written with his trademark wit and charm, Adventures of a Young Naturalist is not just the story of a remarkable adventure, but of the man who made us fall in love with the natural world and taught us the importance of protecting it--and who is still doing so today. |

| houdini south amazon: The Amazing Adventures of Bob Brown Craig Saper, 2016-05-12 Contemporary publishing, e-media, and writing owe much to an unsung hero who worked in the trenches of the culture industry (for pulp magazines, Hollywood films, and advertising) and caroused and collaborated with the avant-garde throughout the first half of the twentieth century. Robert Carlton Brown (1886–1959) turned up in the midst of virtually every significant American literary, artistic, political, and popular or countercultural movement of his time—from Chicago’s Cliff Dweller’s Club to Greenwich Village’s bohemians and the Imagist poets; from the American vanguard expatriate groups in Europe to the Beats. Bob Brown churned out pulp fiction and populist cookbooks, created the first movie tie-ins, and invented a surreal reading machine more than seventy-five years ahead of e-books. He was a real-life Zelig of modern culture. With The Amazing Adventures of Bob Brown, Craig Saper disentangles, for the first time, the many lives and careers of the intriguing figure behind so much of twentieth-century culture. Saper’s lively and engaging yet erudite and subtly experimental style offers a bold new approach to biography that perfectly complements his multidimensional subject. Readers are brought along on a spirited journey with Bob and the Brown clan—Cora (his mother), Rose (his wife), and Bob, a creative team who sometimes went by the name of CoRoBo—through globetrotting, fortune-making and fortune-spending, culture-creating and culture-exploring adventures. Along the way, readers meet many of the most important cultural figures and movements of the era and are witness to the astonishingly prescient vision Brown held of the future of American cultural life in the digital age. Although Brown traveled and lived all around the world, he took Manhattan with him, and his New York City had boroughs around the world. |
