Download or read book Clearwater written by Lisa Coleman and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clearwater, situated on Florida's Gulf Coast, is a progressive city that is rife with history and known for its breathtaking landscape. The city that has become one of the state's prime destinations was once inhabited by Timucuan, Calusa, and Apalachee tribes. Early settlers called the area that had plentiful fresh springs along its shore Clear Water Harbor from the Native American word "Pocotopaug," and early developers and speculators drew tourists and residents touting Clearwater as a resort community with a comfortable climate. Opportunity and adventure brought many pioneering families, citrus farmers, railroad barons, and land developers to the area. Today, Clearwater is a locality that continues to move forward while preserving its distinct past. Images of America: Clearwater is a unique collection of vintage photographs and facts that brings to life the history of this thriving city. Photographs culled from a variety of sources, including the Clearwater Historical Society and Hillsborough County Public Library's archives, showcase the people, places, and events that have contributed to the history of this special Florida community. Readers can take a visual journey to the unincorporated town of yesteryear to see how James Stevens, "the father of Clearwater;" Rev. C.S. Reynolds; and Henry Plant's grand hotel, the Belleview Biltmore, turned Clearwater into a prosperous city.

Book excerpt: Clearwater Beach, Florida conjures up a picture of happy people sunbathing and romping in the surf. It's not the kind of place where you'd expect an old-time Western gunfight. But, according to local legend, that's exactly what happened there! According to the author, "The basis for this book is purported to be a true story. It was told to me by an old gentleman I met years ago while living on Clearwater Beach on Florida's West Coast. I searched old newspaper reports but never found another word about the "gunfight," or the 'drifter' who shot the police chief. But it's still a good story!" The gunfight happened in 1978, but the story spans years, involving characters in the present as well as those who were there when it actually happened. Or did it? No matter if they're fired in 1978 or 2020, bullets are real and can do serious damage.

Download or read book Insatiable written by Shary Hauer and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-05-20 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her professional life, Shary Hauer was a confident, successful, high-caliber executive coach who advised big-time corporate leaders around the globe—but her personal life was an entirely different matter. When it came to love, she was insecure, clingy, desperate, willing to do anything and everything to win and keep a man. Because without a man by her side, what good was she? In Insatiable, Hauer fearlessly chronicles her emotional journey from despair to hope, rejection to redemption, and self-hate to self-love, one man at a time. In candid detail, she relates what it is like to be trapped in the torturous cycle of love addiction—what it’s like to be forever searching, needing, obsessing, scheming, and agonizing for love, suffering from a hunger that never ceases—and what it takes to break free of that cycle. An intimate, soul-baring tale that sheds much-needed light on one of the least understood and talked about addictions, Insatiable is the story of one woman’s journey through the hellish, the humiliating, and the humbling in her single-minded pursuit of the most addictive drug of all: love.
