The last resort : a chronicle of paradise, profit, and peril at the beach / by Stodola, Sarah,author.;: Includes bibliographical references."With its promise of escape from the strains of everyday life, the beach has a hold on the popular imagination as the ultimate paradise. In The Last Resort, Sarah Stodola dives into the psyche of the beachgoer and gets to the heart of what drives humans to seek out the sand. At the same time, she grapples with the darker realities of resort culture: strangleholds on local economies, reckless construction, erosion of beaches, weighty carbon footprints, and the inevitable overdevelopment and decline that comes with a soaring demand for popular shorelines. The Last Resort weaves Stodola's firsthand travel notes with her exacting journalism in an enthralling report on the past, present, and future of coastal travel. She takes us from Monte Carlo, where the pursuit of pleasure first became part of the beach resort experience, to a village in Fiji that was changed irrevocably by the opening of a single resort; from the overdevelopment that stripped Acapulco of its reputation for exclusivity to Miami Beach, where extreme measures are underway to prevent the barrier island from vanishing into the ocean. In the twenty-first century, beach travel has become central to our globalized world-its culture, economy, and interconnectedness. But with sea levels likely to rise at least 1.5 to 3 feet by the end of this century, beaches will become increasingly difficult to preserve, and many will disappear altogether. What will our last resort be when water begins to fill the lobbies?"--; Subjects: Stodola, Sarah; Beaches; Outdoor recreation; Outdoor recreation; Seaside resorts.; Outdoor recreation;; Available copies: 1 / Total copies: 1; unAPI
All that glitters : a story of friendship, fraud, and fine art / by Whitfield, Orlando,author.;: "A dazzling insider look at the contemporary art world and the meteoric rise and fall of the seductive, charismatic, utterly amoral young, American art dealer, Inigo Philbrick, told through the eyes of his former partner and set in London, New York, Miami and Vanuatu Orlando Whitfield and Inigo Philbrick met in 2006 at Goldsmiths University where, though total opposites, they became best friends. By 2007, they were art dealing together having formed I&O Fine Art and two years later, upon graduation, were looking for a gallery space. While they continued to work together, Inigo was also taking on work for the prestigious London Gallery, White Cube. Orlando would set up his own gallery with a partner and watch as Inigo quickly immersed himself in a world of private jets, lavish trips, and close multimillion-dollar deals for major clients. To those who did not know, Inigo seemed a brilliant art world hotshot. But underneath the extravagant façade, his complicated financial schemes were unraveling. Monthly interest installments of $150k were left unpaid; calls were dodged; letters from auction houses faked. With debt, lawsuits, and court summons piling up, Inigo went into an inescapable tailspin of lies and subterfuge. By 2019, things had spiraled enough out of control for Inigo to flee to the remote island of Vanuatu, 300 miles off Fiji. There, in 2020, he was arrested by US Marshals and flown to Guam where he was arraigned in a military court and eventually moved to Brooklyn where he was denied bail and sentenced to seven years in prison for over $86 million in fraud. This unique, shocking, and page-turning story is compulsively readable as it sweeps you up in both adventure and downfall. A close-up of two very young players in the contemporary art world who would each pay a big price, in very different ways, make it an irresistible cautionary tale"--; Subjects: Biographies.; True crime stories.; Personal narratives.; Philbrick, Inigo.; Whitfield, Orlando.; Art and society; Art dealers; Art; Fraud;; Available copies: 1 / Total copies: 1; unAPI
