Soft cover. Condizione: New. No Jacket. First Edition, First Printing. Signed and dated May 30, 2008 by author on title page in blue fountain ink. Author's debut novel. Anna Trevor, a young American scholar, has the kind of mind Mary Shelley must have foreseen. During waking hours Anna is preparing a controversial paper on FRANKENSTEIN. When asleep, she falls into alarmingly realistic dreams, meeting Mary and learning the truths that only the author herself could know. Are Anna's dreams 'real' experiences capable of influencing both present and past? Is this a ghost story? A tale of mystical encounters in a state of consciousness where all time is present time? REQUIEM offers an impeccably researched portrait of the brilliance and daring of the author of FRANKENSTEIN. It is a tribute, a philosophical novel that embraces the Romanticism of Mary Shelley's day. It is a symbolic unfolding of the recovery of the creative genius of the feminine, and a literary fiction that, like its namesake, rides the thin edge betweeen the rational and the irrational. Pictorial bookmark laid in. New PBO in pictorial wraps. 576 pp. L50. Signed by Author(s).…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. [16], 440, [8] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Fisher was the creator of the Indy 500, Miami Beach & The Lincoln Highway. Jerry Fisher never imagined the consequences of writing what is widely recognized as the premier biography of his relative, Carl Graham Fisher when his book, "The Pacesetter," was published in 1998. His original objective was to pay tribute to a truly remarkable man whose contributions to shaping the American way of life in the 20th Century have never been appreciated on a broad scale. Known to some as "Mr. Miami Beach," Carl was an indomitable entrepreneur whose accomplishments ranged from delivering the first viable automobile headlight to founding the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, developing Miami Beach, establishing New York's Montauk resort community and leading the effort to build the first transcontinental highways - leading some to call him "the father of our modern freeway system." Those were just his biggest ideas. David McCullough wrote him a two page handwritten letter about my book "as author to author". "The Pacesetter" was recognized and received awards from two distinctive organizations. The Society of Automotive Historians Cugnot Award of Distinction, "In recognition of particular merit in the field of automotive history in 1998" was the first. Also in 1998 he became a recipient of the National Award of the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA), "Thomas Mckean Memorial Award". Carl Graham Fisher (January 12, 1874 July 15, 1939) was an American entrepreneur in the automotive industry, highway construction and real estate development. Carl G. Fisher was born in Greensburg on January 12, 1874. Fisher became a bicycle enthusiast and opened a modest bicycle shop with his brothers. He became involved in bicycle racing, and many activities related to the emerging American auto industry. In 1904, he and friend James A. Allison bought an interest in the U.S. patent to manufacture acetylene headlights, a precursor to electric models that became common about ten years later. Soon, his firm supplied nearly every headlamp used on automobiles in the United States as manufacturing plants were built all over the country to supply the demand. The headlight patent made him rich as an automotive parts supplier when Allison and he sold their company, Prest-O-Lite, to Union Carbide in 1913 for $9 million (equivalent to $268 million in 2022). Fisher operated in Indianapolis what is believed to be the first automobile dealership in the United States, and also worked at developing an automobile racetrack locally. He helped develop paved racetracks and public roadways. Improvements he implemented at the speedway led to its nickname, "The Brickyard." In 1912, Fisher conceived and helped develop the Lincoln Highway, the first road for the automobile across the entire United States. A convoy trip a few years later by the U.S. Army along Fisher's Lincoln Highway was a major influence upon then-Lt. Col. Dwight D. Eisenhower years later in championing the Interstate Highway System during his presidency in the 1950s. Following on the success of his east-west Lincoln Highway, Fisher initiated efforts on the north-south Dixie Highway in 1914, which led from Michigan to Miami. Under his leadership, the initial portion was completed within a single year, and he led an automobile caravan to Florida from Indiana. At the south end of the Dixie Highway in Miami, Florida, Fisher saw another opportunity. Fisher, with the assistance of his partners John Graham McKay and Thomas Walkling, became involved in the real-estate development of a largely unpopulated barrier island near Miami. They invested in land and dredging and provided much-needed working capital to the earlier Lummus and Collins family pioneers to develop Miami Beach. For example, Fisher funded completion on the first bridge to link Miami to Miami Beach. The new Collins Bridge crossed Biscayne Bay directly at the terminus of the Dixie Highway. Car.
