Book Description
Deep in the concrete canyons of even the largest cities, nature lurks. Its unpredictable energies animate not only squirrels and microorganisms, not only ginkgoes, roots, and rivers, but also the engines of human desire. Urban Nature captures the many faces of wildness in the city with poems by more than 130 emerging and recognized poets.Rather than just lamenting the loss of paradise, these poems celebrate nature's resiliency. They memorialize a salamander's last stand in a parking lot, link the cosmos to the consumer ethos (The Pleiades / you could probably get downtown), evoke horses galloping between skyscrapers, and track geological time in a pothole.

Book Description
You may ask why Michelin is launching a Michelin Guide for New York City in November 2005 ? and why it has taken us so long to do so. New York City is an international gourmet dining center, with many attractions and unique neighborhoods. It was impossible for us not to take an interest in the city. As a dining center, New York is now on par with cities such as London, Madrid and Paris. That's why we felt now was the best time to acknowledge the achievements and the talent of these people who are making New York an undisputed leader in fine hotels and restaurants. And whether by chance or coincidence, it was exactly 100 years ago, in 1905, that Michelin opened its first offices in the United States, at 132-142 West 27th Street, Madison Square. Key features: Approximately 500 restuarant and hotel selections Two restaurant listings per page Detailed descriptions for every establishment Receipes from chefs at star-rated restaurants Neighboorhood maps highlight the locations

Book Description
Here is the new, completely updated and expanded edition of the indispensable handbook used throughout the hospitality industry since The Laws of Innkeepers first appeared in 1972. Containing all the legal information essential to the successful operation of modern hotels, motels, inns, bed-and-breakfasts, clubs, restaurants, and resorts, the book has been extensively revised by John E. H. Sherry to accomodate the far-reaching changes that have occured since the publication of the revised edition in 1981. Sherry, a practicing lawyer and professor of hotel administration, carries over from the highly praised earlier editions detailed information on the rights and responsibilities of host and guest alike. He cites actual cases--ranging from the amusing and the bizarre to the tragic--as examples, and spells out in precise and readily understandable terms exactly what state and federal law says. Broadening the scope of the book to keep up with recent legal developments, the author includes many new case decisions and sumamries from various jurisdictions. Three chapters devoted to employment law, environmental law and land use, and catastrophic risk liability are among the highlights of the new material. These new sections present recent rulings and case law on such timely topics as age, disability, and AIDS discrimination, as well as sexual harassment; government regulation of toxic and hazardous substances and hotel and resort development; and acts of God and the Public Enemy and terrorism.

Book Description
"For most of the state's existence, Florida's economy has been driven by tourism and tourists. And after a carefree day on the beach, they need a place to sleep and eat. Wish You Were Here is a nostalgic look back at the days when a clever slogan ("Sleep to the Song of the Surf"), a pink-and-aqua paint job, a swimming pool, and air-conditioned rooms--combined with aggressive advertising through postcards, brochures, magazines, billboards, placemats, and neon signs--were the keys to capturing the tourists' dollars. Tim Hollis began collecting this memorabilia in the 1960s, when he travelled with his parents on vacation in Florida. Arranged like a scrapbook, his lighthearted review of the most interesting and unusual hotel, motel, and restaurant advertising will make you remember childhood vacations fondly--or wonder why anyone would have ever eaten or slept there. The nearly five hundred color images are accompanied by humorous captions. They depict unique mom-and-pop motels, early advertising from hotel chains, and countless pirate-themed seafood restaurants. The book is organized around the traditional tourism regions of the state, from the Gulf Coast's Miracle Strip to the Keys' Paradise Islands. So sit back, enjoy the trip, and please don't kick the back of the driver's seat"--

Book Description
In the mid-1800s, wealthy farmers and businessmen began bringing their families to North Carolina's Outer Banks to escape the blistering inland summer heat. Soon after, the region's first hotel was built with accommodations for 200 guests. By the mid-1900s, hotels such as the Carolinian, the Nags Header, and the Arlington as well as smaller motels and cottage courts like Journey's End, the Sea Foam, and the Cavalier dotted the coastline. Most motels were independent, family-run operations. Many guests returned yearly, reuniting with the motel owners and other visitors. However, by the end of the 20th century, many of these mom-and-pop establishments had become a distant memory, lost to wrecking balls and replaced by large beach houses. This book recalls these hotels and motels and their impact on the Outer Banks and its visitors.
