The Sunshine Coast
Discover what makes the Sunshine Coast a special place to live, holiday, fulfill one's dreams or, simply put, to be! This book introduces readers to the resourceful people who settled in the once-isolated seaside villages and infused them with community spirit through their dedication to the environment, history, arts, sports and recreation.
Bright Seas, Pioneer Spirits
'For the people who live on the Sunshine Coast, and for the people who are thinking about coming here, this book is invaluable.'-"Going Coastal Magazine" Every year, the Sunshine Coast attracts thousands of visitors to the waterfront resorts, fishing lodges and beaches between Howe Sound and the spectacular Princess Louisa Inlet. But this rugged coastline was a different world for the few courageous pioneers who settled in the area and carved out a living on the mountains that rise from the deep inlets. Newly revised and updated, "Bright Seas, Pioneer Spirits" tells the stories of the homesteaders, loggers, prospectors and fishermen who made their homes on this treacherous edge of the continent north and west of Vancouver. These folk came with nothing in their pockets and founded logging empires, shingle mills and sawmills, fish canneries, a glue plant and even a well-known jam factory. Many of the original names have endured-Gibson, Roberts, Whitaker, Donley, Silvey and Griffiths-as a reminder that their pioneering spirits still ride the bright seas of the Sunshine Coast today.
Cornwall
Cornwall was founded in 1737 after a tremendous amount of iron ore was discovered in three hills. Mining started in earnest in 1742 when a charcoal furnace was constructed in Cornwall to smelt the iron ore. Operations of open pit and underground mining continued for more than 230 years until June 1972 when Hurricane Agnes flooded the mine. The iron ore was used to cast cannon and shot for the Continental army and later to construct our country's buildings, bridges, and infrastructure. Vintage images culled from area archives illustrate the mining history, community culture, and development of the borough of Cornwall.

Suicide in the Entertainment Industry
This work covers 840 intentional suicide cases initially reported in Daily Variety (the entertainment industry's trade journal), but also drawing attention from mainstream news media. These cases are taken from the ranks of vaudeville, film, theatre, dance, music, literature (writers with direct connections to film), and other allied fields in the entertainment industry from 1905 through 2000. Accidentally self-inflicted deaths are omitted, except for a few controversial cases. It includes the suicides of well-known personalities such as actress Peg Entwistle, who is the only person to ever commit suicide by jumping from the top of the Hollywood Sign, Marilyn Monroe and Dorothy Dandridge, who are believed to have overdosed on drugs, and Richard Farnsworth and Brian Keith, who shot themselves to end the misery of terminal cancer. Also mentioned, but in less detail, are the suicides of unknown and lesser-known members of the entertainment industry. Arranged alphabetically, each entry covers the person’s personal and professional background, method of suicide, and, in some instances, includes actual statements taken from the suicide note.
