(This book has never been replaced as the definitive biogr...)
This book has never been replaced as the definitive biography of this fabulous dynasty, and is a major source for the media. It tells of triumphs, tragedies, and scandals. The Astors became landlords of New York, established society's "400," and joined the British nobility. The Titanic drama of their lives is given a new perspective. Reviewers have called this book wonderfully entertaining, and a Horatio Alger story for the very adult reader.

(This superb book does for fungi what Audubon did for bird...)
This superb book does for fungi what Audubon did for birds and Freud for the psyche, wrote the New Haven Register. Time Magazine called it "Fascinating" in a lead review. The little-known kingdom of fungi is revealed as never before or since-from the potato blight to the hallucinogenic mushroom, the bread mold that produced penicillin and the prized truffle. Mushrooms, Molds, and Miracles proves that a book about fungi can be compulsively readable. Sales soared the moment it reached the bookstores, and it has become a classic. Hard to put down, it is exciting from beginning to end.

(A sophisticated novel about the excesses and lifestyle of...)
A sophisticated novel about the excesses and lifestyle of the fabulously rich in 1895 New York and Newport. A scandalous newspaper story creates a crisis for the unconventional heroine, forcing her to choose between her tycoon husband, the British marquess who seduced her at fifteen, and her latest very young lover. The contrasts between rich and poor are stunning: she plans to ride a camel into her ballroom while a sweatshop burns and a mob invades the grounds of her mansion. Reviewers say: unforgettable and provocative, successor to Wharton and Auchincloss, first-rate historical fiction.
