Book Description
David R. Stoecklein's latest book showcases the Sun Valley, Idaho area and its stunning surroundings. Readers will enjoy a photographic tour through the mountains and valleys, along the rivers and streams, among the aspen groves and pine forests. Of course, Sun Valley is famous for its historic ski resort, but there is much more to the area that makes it such a rich and inspiring environment. The town of Ketchum and the nearby Sawtooth, Pioneer, and Boulder mountain ranges provide locals and visitors alike with a seemingly endless playground. Many first-time visitors come to this area and realize that they want to stay longer. It is not surprising. There is so much to explore here, even more than what David has captured in his beautiful photographs. Waiting for a fish to rise at twilight on Silver Creek, carving wide turns through fresh powder on Bald Mountain, camping next to a chilly alpine lake in the Sawtooths, rafting through the churning rapids on the Salmon River, snowshoeing into a yurt to have dinner under a full moon - these are only a few of the many and varied activities that the area has to offer. The town itself is nestled between several mountain ranges, which present us with spectacular views, sunsets, and weather. Each day and each season bring new colors and new scenery, a veritable treasure for any photographer. David has sought out all the hidden spots where the light is magical and the colors are dazzling. Enjoy this heartfelt tribute to one of the world's most picturesque places.

Book Description
On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Sun Valley's founding, respected journalist, distinguished television executive, and renowned raconteur Van Gordon Sauter tells the remarkable story of the transformation of a remote Idaho mountain valley into America's first luxury ski resort and, eventually, one of the country's most beloved year-round vacation retreats. His fascinating anecdotal history is constructed around the personal passions and signal contributions of the resort's three successive owners: New York aristocrat and Union Pacific Railroad chairman Averell Harriman, Los Angeles land developer and Olympic skier Bill Janss, and self-made Salt Lake City oil man and hotel magnate Earl Holding. Sauter lavishes special attention on recounting how Harriman's founding vision was, with breathtaking alacrity over eleven months in 1936, translated into the unique, opulent, and acclaimed reality that formed the enduring base for the spectacular resort we know today.Splendidly endowed by both nature and culture, Sun Valley and its environs are surrounded by four magnificent mountain ranges (one incorporating Bald Mountain, regarded by many as the premier ski mountain in the world) that are watered by four diverse, revered fishing streams, their beauty protected forever by virtue of their abiding largely on federal lands. It possesses a colorful history that includes Native Americans, fur trappers, late-19th century miners and railroaders, early-20th century sheep barons, and, since the 1930's, a low key but glamorous life that has drawn not only the top European and domestic figures in the sport of skiing but also the rich, the celebrated, and the accomplished-among them Ernest Hemingway and Marilyn Monroe, the founders of Facebook and Microsoft, and the author of this book's foreword, Clint Eastwood, to name a few-to this exceptional place. Complementing Sauter's lively text is an offering of stunning vintage and contemporary images, many of them fresh to print, that capture the landscape, the history, and the individuals that have and continue to make Sun Valley an American original.

Book Description
“With its behind-the-scenes views of the newspaper world during the first half of the twentieth century, the book is a valuable historical record of a time prior to seismic journalistic shifts. On-point descriptions impart Hannagan’s keen understanding of what stories appeal most to editors and readers. Accounts of his agility at straddling the sometimes fine line between journalism and publicity deliver insights into navigating this complex territory.” Foreword Reviews Steve Hannagan, a highly successful pioneer of public relations, built groundbreaking publicity campaigns for Coca-Cola, the Indy 500, Miami Beach, Sun Valley, Las Vegas, Union Pacific Railroad, and the 1940 presidential campaign. Yet Hannagan, whose personal friends included the likes of Ann Sheridan, Ernest Hemingway, Eddie Rickenbacker, Gloria Swanson, Gene Tunney, Morton Downey, Pop Myers, and Toots Shor, feared he was an abject failure who had contributed little and would leave the world forgotten. With Steve Hannagan: Prince of the Press Agents and Titan of Modern Public Relations, Michael Townsley seeks to put the man back on the map, introducing readers to the gregarious, charming, whipsmart press agent who never pulled a phony deal while becoming the toast of Hollywood, Broadway, and executive suites across America. Learn how an Irish kid from Bloody Plank Road rose to become a major power broker who shaped the history of marketing, public relations, and business—and how his commonsense approach to press relations, called the Hannagan Way, became deeply embedded in the ethics of modern advertising.

Book Description
Growing up on either side of the Iron Curtain, David Scott and Alexei Leonov experienced very different childhoods but shared the same dream to fly. Excelling in every area of mental and physical agility, Scott and Leonov became elite fighter pilots and were chosen by their countries' burgeoning space programs to take part in the greatest technological race ever-to land a man on the moon. In this unique dual autobiography, astronaut Scott and cosmonaut Leonov recount their exceptional lives and careers spent on the cutting edge of science and space exploration. With each mission fraught with perilous risks, and each space program touched by tragedy, these parallel tales of adventure and heroism read like a modern-day thriller. Cutting fast between their differing recollections, this book reveals, in a very personal way, the drama of one of the most ambitious contests ever embarked on by man, set against the conflict that once held the world in suspense: the clash between Russian communism and Western democracy. Before training to be the USSR's first man on the moon, Leonov became the first man to walk in space. It was a feat that won him a place in history but almost cost him his life. A year later, in 1966, Gemini 8, with David Scott and Neil Armstrong aboard, tumbled out of control across space. Surviving against dramatic odds-a split-second decision by pilot Armstrong saved their lives-they both went on to fly their own lunar missions: Armstrong to command Apollo 11 and become the first man to walk on the moon, and Scott to perform an EVA during the Apollo 9 mission and command the most complex expedition in the history of exploration, Apollo 15. Spending three days on the moon, Scott became the seventh man to walk on its breathtaking surface. Marking a new age of USA/USSR cooperation, the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project brought Scott and Leonov together, finally ending the Cold War silence and building a friendship that would last for decades. Their courage, passion for exploration, and determination to push themselves to the limit emerge in these memoirs not only through their triumphs but also through their perseverance in times of extraordinary difficulty and danger.
