Book Synopsis Cornell Iron Works by : Katharine Cornell Gorka

Book excerpt: One day in 1819, a twelve-year old boy named George Cornell left his family’s farm on Long Island and traveled to New York City to become an apprentice blacksmith. By the 1870s, the company he created, and that was carried on after him by his brothers, became the largest iron works in the United States. The J.B. & W.W. Cornell Iron Works, and later the J.B. & J.M. Cornell Iron Works, worked with the leading architects of their day to take New York’s buildings from four stories in the 1850s to thirty stories by 1899. Drawing on a wealth of sources from historic company archives and New York City architectural history, this book tells the story of Cornell Iron Works, from its origins and rise to prominence in the 1800s, to the challenges it faced in the early 1900s, to its reemergence and renewed success in the 20th and 21st centuries. With Cornell now in its 8th generation of family leadership, this story has unique insights for family businesses and for American business more generally. It also fills an important gap in New York City’s architectural and business history. The role played by the iron works as New York went from being a city of wood and brick to a city of iron and steel has been largely untold until now. Most importantly, this is the story of a company in which an ethos of integrity and concern for others that originated in 19th century America provides a foundation for success today.

Book Synopsis A History of Architecture and Trade by : Patrick Haughey
Download or read book A History of Architecture and Trade written by Patrick Haughey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Architecture and Trade draws together essays from an international roster of distinguished and emerging scholars to critically examine the important role architecture and urbanism played in the past five hundred years of global trading, moving away from a conventional Western narrative. The book uses an alternative holistic lens through which to view the development of architecture and trade, covering diverse topics such as the coercive urbanism of the Dutch East India Company; how slavery and capitalism shaped architecture and urbanization; and the importance of Islamic trading in the history of global trade. Each chapter examines a key site in history, using architecture, landscape and urban scale as evidence to show how trade has shaped them. It will appeal to scholars and researchers interested in areas such as world history, economic and trade history and architectural history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few aspects of American military history have been as vigorously debated as Harry Truman's decision to use atomic bombs against Japan. In this carefully crafted volume, Michael Kort describes the wartime circumstances and thinking that form the context for the decision to use these weapons, surveys the major debates related to that decision, and provides a comprehensive collection of key primary source documents that illuminate the behavior of the United States and Japan during the closing days of World War II. Kort opens with a summary of the debate over Hiroshima as it has evolved since 1945. He then provides a historical overview of thye events in question, beginning with the decision and program to build the atomic bomb. Detailing the sequence of events leading to Japan's surrender, he revisits the decisive battles of the Pacific War and the motivations of American and Japanese leaders. Finally, Kort examines ten key issues in the discussion of Hiroshima and guides readers to relevant primary source documents, scholarly books, and articles.

Download or read book On the High Line written by Annik LaFarge and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most comprehensive, up-to-date, and acclaimed guide to the High Line by the leading expert on the history of the park—now in a fully revised edition Built atop a former freight railroad, the “park in the sky” is regularly cited as one of the premiere examples of adaptive reuse and quickly became one of New York’s most popular destinations, attracting more than 8 million visitors a year. This updated Third Edition of On the High Line— published to coincide with the fifteenth anniversary of the park’s opening—remains the definitive guide to the park that transformed an entire neighborhood and became an inspiration to cities around the globe. In short entries organized by roughly two city block sections, the guide provides rich details about everything in view on both sides of the park. Illustrated with more than 110 black & white photographs, it covers historic and modern architecture; plants and horticulture; and important industries and technological innovations that developed in the neighborhoods the park traverses, from book publishing and food distribution to the introduction of cold storage and the development of radar, the elevator, and talking movies. Updated to include newly opened sections of the park, this edition also features a new conversation pertaining to the more controversial side of the High Line’s story and how it became a poster child for the most grievous manifestations of gentrification and inequity in public spaces. Author Annik LaFarge provides a frank discussion on how the park’s leadership created a platform for discussing these issues and for advising other projects on how to work more inclusively and from a social justice and equity perspective. On the High Line serves as an educated travel companion, someone invisibly perched on a visitor’s shoulder who can answer every question, including what was here before, moving back in time through the early 20th century, the Industrial Revolution, and the colonial and pre-European times when this stretch of what we call Manhattan was home to the Lenape people and much of it was covered by the waters of the Hudson River. A companion website with more than 650 photos—historic, contemporary, rooftop and aerial—can be viewed at HighLineBook.com.
