Dream Houses: Historic Beach Homes and Cottages of Naples

Dream Houses: Historic Beach Homes and Cottages of Naples Review



Captures the magic and charm of these beach hideaways

"Wilson and Taylor’s Dream Houses brings Old Naples to life, providing both fascinating stories and wonderful photographs of the historic Florida city."--Rodney Kite-Powell, Tampa Bay History Center

Naples, Florida, is known internationally for its stunning beaches, cosmopolitan ambience, and captivating architecture. Originally settled in the late nineteenth century, the seaside resort town is blessed with abundant historical architecture. One of the Sunshine State’s first "planned communities," the city is consistently recognized as one of the top growth areas in the United States. As a result, the original beach homes, most built between 1895 and 1950, are today threatened by land development and new construction.

Dream Housesis the visually inspiring record of the private homes in the historic district of this iconic Florida beach town. It captures the visual, factual, and familial history of these homes as they have, over the course of decades, survived hurricanes, commercial development, architectural evolution, real estate upheaval, and frenzied economic growth.

Joie Wilson and Penny Taylor were given privileged access to these houses; together they reveal the beauty, anonymity, and privacy these homeowners have discovered. This once-in-a-lifetime glimpse into these charming homes is an architectural and interior design delight; a unique look at some of the most distinctive beach cottages remaining in Florida.

UWF: University of West("Worst")Florida Exposed!

UWF: University of West("Worst")Florida Exposed! Review



UWF: University of West("Worst")Florida Exposed! is the stark but timeless cautionary tale about a lone disadvantaged student's triumphant struggle-against the entire corrupt good old boy network of one imperious and puritanical state institution of lower learning-to preserve his First Amendment rights of free speech and expression. For several years in the late 1970s and early 1980s the justice-seeking convictions of a single student, who took a defiant stand against censorship and bureaucratic oppression, were pitted against the whole machinery of bureaucratic coercion mobilized against him in a combative war of conspiratorial plots and dirty tricks. Exposed are an era's vilest bureaucratic knaves and villains: Bennett, Byrkit, Campbell, Committe, Clark, Curtis, Doerr, Dye, Elebash, Ellsworth, Henderson, Hopkins, Hudnall, Latham, Maygarden, Miklovich, Miller, Ranelli, Robinson, Waltrip. Because the struggle for justice against evil-minded, malicious and vicious men is universal this true account is relevant and vital to the academic and educational careers of university students of any age.
