Book Description
A prominent star in both pre-Revolutionary Russia and New York, Lina Cavalieri, described as "the most beautiful woman in the world," was one of the most frequently photographed personalities of her time. The cabaret performer, courtesan, and international star is documented in this, her first English-language biography. Researched from Russian archive sources, the book details her career from her early experiences in cafe-chantant and variety theatre in Paris, London, and St. Petersburg, through a highly successful operatic career in which she sang in many of the world's leading opera houses with such celebrities as Caruso and Ruffo. In 1914, Cavalieri became the first great opera singer to appear in silent movies, making her debut in Manon Lescaut and continuing with a series of successful films. Her life was ended by an Allied air raid in World War II. The book includes excerpts from period reviews, programmes, posters, and many previously unseen photographs. Appendices include a bibliography, filmography, discography, and chronology of stage performances (dates, venues, work, cast, conductor).

Book Description
This is an epic drama about unlimited energy, the realignment of international power in a truly new world order unlike anything envisioned before, and deadly conflict between political and military centers of power. Controlled laser fusion energy ignites a firestorm of competing interests from within the top levels of government to the oil patch to the United Nations and ultimately to the world. How is it that a visionary physicist/entrepreneur was able to achieve the technological breakthrough of the century? What does the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff really want? What flaws in the laws of presidential succession empower his plans? How does a young, black scientist find herself in a pivotal role in the new world order? What replaces a failed United Nations and who gets in and who doesnt? How is the worldwide addiction to fossil fuels finally broken and at what cost? These are just some of the questions raised and answered in this story that is part Ayn Rand and part Robert Ludlum. On Deception Watch paints a plausible future of global confrontation, unforgettable characters, and a stunning resolution that takes you out of this world. "The story is a good one...compelling..." Robert Thixton, Pinder Lane & Garon-Brooke Associates
