Holding Back the Tide
Concerned Citizens of Montauk was formed in 1970 as an organized response to block plans by developers to build 1,400 houses near Big Reed Pond. As a direct result, Theodore Roosevelt County Park was created. Building on successes such as this first one, CCM evolved to become one of the most effective citizens' groups on the East End over the next 35 years, working to preserve the unique and fragile environment and ecology of Montauk. Today it boasts a membership of over 800 residents. In celebration of the 35th anniversary of the organization, this book tells the story of Concerned Citizens of Montauk, its evolution, history, and struggles to preserve the natural beauty of the town on the very east end of the East End.
Great Restaurants of the Hamptons
The Hamptons are blessed - as few other locales in the world are - with a bounty of local food sources. Montauk and Shinnecock are home to two prodigious fishing fleets. Baymen provide world-class shellfish. Thriving local farms produce an ever-expanding variety of vegetables (as well as long-time staples like potatoes and sweet corn.) Local artisans make cheeses, honey, preserves, even chocolate. Add to this cornucopia the thirty vineyards that comprise the redoubtable Long Island wine industry and it's easy to see why the area is irresistible to restaurateurs and foodies alike. Great Restaurants of the Hamptons brings together over 75 reviews originally published in The East Hampton Star.
The Life and Crimes of Don King
A new, updated edition of Jack Newfield's hard-hitting unauthorized biography of boxing kingpin Don King, source of the Emmy-winning film starring Ving Rhames. With a new epilogue. Working his way out of a life of street crime and numbers running - and jail time for manslaughter - King rose to become a powerhouse in the fight game, outnegotiated corporate giants, fleeced the treasuries of entire countries, and amassed a vast personal fortune while ruining the lives and careers of some of boxing's greatest champions. The dying words of the man King stomped to death on the streets of Cleveland in 1966 - Don, I'll pay you the money! - became the motif for Don King's ascendancy.
