Synopsis
Presents the world's most luxurious cars, such as the Duesenberg, Rolls-Royce, Stutz, Packard, Bugatti, Chrysler, Alfa-Romeo, Delahaye, Delage, Murphy, and Saoutchikall. Along with interviews with designers and hundreds of photographs, this book traces the history of these machines, starting from the first sports cars in Europe and America., Dazzling words and pictures celebrate the early automakers--from Cadillac and Chrysler to Duesenberg, Stutz, and Packard--as they create rolling works of art for the world's wealthiest and most powerful figures., Traveling back over 100 years of automotive history, this book brings to dazzling life the dawning age of the automobile--a time when the early promise of personal transportation inspired great feats of design and engineering, resulting in some of the most remarkable vehicles the world would ever know. From Detroit and Indianapolis to Paris and Stuttgart, the story of the automobile's first half-century unfolds on two continents, as automakers and coachbuilders--well-known American names like Cadillac and Chrysler as well as the now-ghostly Duesenberg, Stutz, and Packard; Bentley and Rolls-Royce of England along with the Bugatti and Alfa Romeo of Italy, Delahaye and Delage, Murphy and Saoutchik--create rolling works of art for the world's wealthiest and most powerful figures. Drawing together more than 20 years of research, interviews with legendary designers, and hundreds of fabulous photographs, author Dennis Adler traces the history of these magnificent machines--more than 100 great cars made for monarchs and presidents, and for stars of stage and screen. From the first sports and luxury cars built in America and Europe to the last spectacular models to leave the ateliers of France's most celebrated carrosserie" at the onset of World War II, this book tells the story of these great cars with all the artistry and style of their era., John Searles's Help for the Haunted is an unforgettable story of a most unusual family, their deep secrets, their harrowing tragedy, and ultimately, a daughter's discovery of a dark and unexpected mystery. Sylvie Mason's parents have an unusual occupation-helping "haunted souls" find peace. After receiving a strange phone call one winter's night, they leave the house and are later murdered in an old church in a horrifying act of violence. A year later, Sylvie is living in the care of her older sister, who may be to blame for what happened to their parents. Now, the inquisitive teenager pursues the mystery, moving closer to the knowledge of what occurred that night-and to the truth about her family's past and the secrets that have haunted them for years. Capturing the vivid eeriness of Stephen King's works with the compelling quirkiness of John Irving's beloved novels, Help for the Haunted is that rare story that brings to life a richly imagined and wholly original world.
