Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Conspiracy: Legends, David Gardner delves into the world of celebrity to investigate legendary stories that continue to fascinate and intrigue to this day. If people famously remember where they were when JFK was assassinated, many also recall where they were and what they were doing when Elvis, Princess Diana and John Lennon died. As for Marilyn Monroe, the candle flickered out long ago, but only now can the truth be told about how and why she died. After combing through thousands of recently declassified FBI files, interviewing key witnesses, crime analysts and forensic experts during years of research, investigative writer David Gardner has unearthed new information that will transform the way we look at these iconic tragedies as well as include new insights on the conspiracy theories that surround the deaths of Bob Marley, Kurt Cobain and even the Queen. For the first time, Conspiracy: Legends provides many of the answers that have been so elusive for so long, while explaining what it was about these enduring legends that made them so memorable.

Download or read book Legends of the Tribe written by Morris Eckhouse and published by Taylor Trade Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legends of the Tribe: An Illustrated History of the Cleveland Indians is the first lavishly illustrated history of the entire 100 years of the franchise, which in the last five years has experienced an incredible rebirth. The 1990s have become the golden era of Cleveland Indians baseball. Beginning with their 1994 move to Jacobs Field, a transformation has occurred that finds the Indians one of baseball's premier franchises. With five straight division titles, two World Series appearances and four seasons of consecutive sellouts, "The Tribe" is the toast of Ohio. It is perhaps the most dramatic turnaround in major league history. For much of the more than three decades prior to 1994, the Indians were a bottom-dwelling franchise, both on the field and at the gate. But in the mid- to late '90s, the Indians enjoyed four seasons of consecutive sellouts and Indians baseball remains the hottest ticket in town. Although the expectation level has risen for Tribe fans -- they no longer accept just "making it" to,the playoffs -- their optimism, patience and enthusiasm remain intact. And with little or no serious competition in the American League Central, the fans know the Tribe will likely get another shot in 2000 at their first World Series title in more than 50 years.

Download or read book Man of the Century written by John Ramsden and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man of the Century is the often surprising story of how Winston Churchill, in the last years of his life, carefully crafted his reputation for posterity, revealing him to be perhaps the twentieth century's first, and most gifted, "spin doctor." Ramsden draws on fresh material and extensive research on three continents to argue that the statesman's force of personality and romantic, imperial notion of Britain has contributed directly to many of the political debates of the last decades--including American involvement in Vietnam and the role of the Anglo-American alliance in promoting and protecting a certain vision of world order.

Book excerpt: When visitors to the nation's capital embark on a day of museum visits at the National Mall, the most striking building in their midst is undoubtedly the Smithsonian Castle. Its iconic architecture has come to symbolize the Smithsonian. Today the Castle is both central administration building for the entire Smithsonian Insititution and the public doorway to all of its museums and galleries.

The newly designed second edition of The Castle explores the architectural details of turrets and tomb, and layers that with the stories of the people who have served inside this beloved, nineteenth-century medieval revival landmark.
