Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tony, leafy neighborhood of Georgetown along the Potomac river in Washington, D.C. has been influential in American history since the 18th century when it was a thriving seaport. But during the Cold War, following World War II and up until the end of the 20th century, it was home to the Capitol's most influential players in government, spycraft, journalism, and the arts. Within less than a square mile were located the red brick Federal era homes of the best and the brightest, most of them close friends and frequent dinner companions. They came to be known as the "Georgetown Set", despised by Richard Nixon for their Ivy League, patrician clannishness, their secret "old boy" arrogance, and their unfettered access to the highest levels of power in the city. The inner circle included Phillip and Katharine Graham, owners of the Washington Post; the columnists Joe and Stewart Alsop; The Bundy brothers; powerbroker and railroad scion Averrill Harriman; Secretary of State John Foster Dulles; Jack and Jackie Kennedy; and many more spooks, G men, Senators, and Supreme Court Justices were members of this elite club. Now, for the first time, author Richard Massimo takes us on a walking tour of the neighborhood where the Georgetown Set lived, including a map, recent photos of each house, and sketches of each inhabitant. Spend an afternoon walking the brick sidewalks of Georgetown and you'll see where these historic figures resided. “The hand that mixes the Georgetown martini is time and again the hand that guides the destiny of the Western world.” –Henry Kissinger

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning visual record of England's most spectacular and scenic country estates that were broken up for sale and lost for ever. A sweeping country estate, with grand house and spectacular gardens and park, would not be the first impression of a visitor to modern suburban Watford. But well into the twentieth century that was exactly what was there – the magnificence of the Cassiobury estate, of which only a modest municipal park survives. Underneath the expanse of Rutland Water lies the once splendid Normanton estate, while Deepdene in Surrey is now memorialised only by an ugly office block. Fortunately, at least photographs live on to remind us of how the landscape looked before death duties, mining subsidence and sometimes the plain impecuniousness of the black sheep in the family took their toll and forced the break-up of all too many historic landed estates. In this elegiac book, a successor to Aurum’s Lost Victorian Britain, John Robinson surveys 20 of the most egregious losses, from Costessy in East Anglia to Lathom in Lancashire, and shows how the deer park, the home farm, the parterre and the cottage garden gave way to the power station, the motorway and the caravan park.

Book excerpt: Oaks Estate is an urban village in the ACT, 12 km from Canberra City centre, directly across the NSW border from Queanbeyan. The estate covers an area of approximately 40 hectares and is bound by the Molonglo River to the north, 'The Oaks' to the east and the Queanbeyan-Cooma railway to the south. It takes its name from 'The Oaks', an outstation of Duntroon established about 1835. The adjacent burial ground, in use from 1838 to 1846, is the oldest general, if unofficial, cemetery in the ACT. In the second half of the 19th century and into the early Canberra development period, Oaks Estate housed several Queanbeyan industrial properties including a flour mill. The area was formally included in the Federal Capital Territory from 1911, but developmentally the Estate remained in a kind of No Man’s Land until the 1950s, with several unsuccessful attempts to return it to NSW, and even a petition to the Queen for improvement in basic services. The Oaks Estate Living Memory Project began in 1991 as a seed project of the Arts Council of the ACT to document the history of the Oaks Estate Community. This initial grant produced the document What I’m Telling You Now is What I’m Going Through Now... Further grants from the Australia Council, Australian Folk Trust Inc and the ACT Heritage Grants helped develop the Oaks Estate Festival 1992, and further collection of information and recording of memories, and several exhibitions and presentations, such as Oaks Estate – A Portrait, December 1992 and June/July 1993 at Gorman House. A book, No Man’s Land was published in 1997 following a period of research by Karen Williams. The collections consists of research papers, transcriptions and notes of oral history interviews and copies of photographs loaned for the project.
