Vienna, 1911. Greta Goldbaum has always hungered after what's forbidden: secret university lectures, unseemly trumpet lessons, and most of all, the freedom to choose her life's path. United across Europe by unsurpassed wealth and power, Goldbaum men are bankers, while Goldbaum women marry Goldbaum men to produce Goldbaum children. Greta moves to England to wed Albert, a distant cousin. The marriage is not a success, but when Albert's mother gives Greta a garden, she falls in love with her garden, then with England, and finally with her husband. But when World War I begins, her family is splintered: Albert is at the front lines for the Allies; Greta's brother Otto is fighting for the Central Powers. -- adapted from publisher info.

Book Description
In 1406 a young Venetian nobleman, Marin Contarini, married into another ancient patrician clan. His wife's family owned an old palace on the Grand Canal. Contarini demolished the old palace and, in 1421, he began to build the C... d'Oro, his 'House of Gold'. This 1993 book tells the history of the building of the palace over a period of nearly twenty years. After a general introduction to the city of Venice at the beginning of the quattrocento, Dr Goy discusses the background to the building of the palace. There follows a discussion of the building industry in Venice in this flourishing period, and of the functions of the three chief building crafts. In the latter half of the study, the whole building process is recreated in detail; the relationships between Contarini and his craftsmen are analysed, as is the pivotal role of Contarini himself, the architect manqué whose monument this was to become.

Book Description
The Gold House, The Lies, The Thefts proves that millions of dollars in gold were stolen from the Noss treasure shortly after 1958, thefts carried out with the knowledge of certain individuals in the military at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. These thefts were cloaked with a top-secret classification to mask the criminal nature of the military’s activities. This highly documented investigation provides overwhelming evidence that should be known to every American who cares about their country and the ideals upon which this nation was founded. The most highly documented account that gold was illegally removed from the Noss treasure occurred during the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend in November 1973 when 36.5 tons of gold was stolen from the treasure; evidence points to President Richard Nixon’s involvement. As startling as Nixon’s alleged connection to the mega-million-dollar theft was, so too was the elaborate cover-up in 1974 by Major General Arthur H. Sweeney, Jr., White Sands’ commanding general at the time. Evidence that the 1973 extraction occurred include: 1) An FBI document regarding the theft disclosed, “...two individuals at The First National Bank in Albuquerque were handling the sale of the gold and that Handy & Harman’s secondary refinery in El Monte, California, was handling the sale of the gold overseas.” 2) Warehouse receipts describing a large number of steel drums containing the stolen gold, backed up by an FBI report describing the contents of the drums as “ingots.” On four of the seventy-two steel drums the “Warehouse Receipt Holder” was “FIRST NATIONAL BANK IN ALBUQUERQUE.” 3) A series of nine money-laundering agreements used to convert the stolen gold and disguise its origin. 4) Evidence that a CIA operative was used as the courier to move the stolen gold out of the United States. 5) The involvement of top Nixon aide John Ehrlichman. 6) The cover-up of the theft by agent Herb Greathouse of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. These allegations are supported by a large number of letters, official government documents, affidavits, money-laundering agreements, and many interviews.
