Book excerpt: Caught in a whirlwind of adventure and the supernatural, it’s up to sisters Alex and Elizabeth Riley to save all of New York from succumbing to the legions of the undead! Wonder City tells the story of two combative teenage sisters coping with the sudden loss of their father in New York City, 1984. As the mysteries surrounding their father's untimely demise start to pile up and veer toward the supernatural, the Riley sisters must confront the terrible truth about their tension fraught relationship before the past literally rises from the dead. Taking cues from The Goonies, Indiana Jones, and Stranger Things, Wonder City captures the joyous, adventurous tones of Amblin era 1980s films in a love letter to the can-do attitude of young teenagers with guts beyond their years and an independent streak longer than their common sense. Set in the crime-ridden, synth-heavy, neon-filled streets, alleyways and subway tunnels of Manhattan, Wonder City digs deep into New York's wild history to test the Rileys' bonds of sisterhood.

Download or read book Fading Ads of New York City written by Frank Jump and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11-21 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York City is eternally evolving. From its iconic skyline to its side alleys, the new is perpetually being built on the debris of the past. But a movement to preserve the citys vanishing landscapes has emerged. For nearly twenty years, Frank Jump has been documenting the fading ads that are visible, but less often seen, all over New York. Disappearing from the sides of buildings or hidden by new construction, these signs are remnants of lost eras of New Yorks life. They weave together the citys unique history, culture, environment and society and tell the stories of the businesses, places and people whose lives transpired among them the story of New York itself. This photo-documentary is also a study of time and space, of mortality and living, as Jumps campaign to capture the ads mirrors his own struggle with HIV. Experience the ads shot with vintage Kodachrome film and the meaning they carry through acclaimed photographer and urban documentarian Frank Jumps lens.

Download or read book The Encyclopedia of New York City written by Kenneth T. Jackson and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 4282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering an exhaustive range of information about the five boroughs, the first edition of The Encyclopedia of New York City was a success by every measure, earning worldwide acclaim and several awards for reference excellence, and selling out its first printing before it was officially published. But much has changed since the volume first appeared in 1995: the World Trade Center no longer dominates the skyline, a billionaire businessman has become an unlikely three-term mayor, and urban regeneration—Chelsea Piers, the High Line, DUMBO, Williamsburg, the South Bronx, the Lower East Side—has become commonplace. To reflect such innovation and change, this definitive, one-volume resource on the city has been completely revised and expanded. The revised edition includes 800 new entries that help complete the story of New York: from Air Train to E-ZPass, from September 11 to public order. The new material includes broader coverage of subject areas previously underserved as well as new maps and illustrations. Virtually all existing entries—spanning architecture, politics, business, sports, the arts, and more—have been updated to reflect the impact of the past two decades. The more than 5,000 alphabetical entries and 700 illustrations of the second edition of The Encyclopedia of New York City convey the richness and diversity of its subject in great breadth and detail, and will continue to serve as an indispensable tool for everyone who has even a passing interest in the American metropolis.

For four decades the 16mm and 8mm film products of Castle Films were sold in every department store and hobby shop. Castle had big-screen movies for everybody: comedies with Abbott & Costello, The Marx Brothers, and W. C. Fields...monster movies with Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Wolfman...cartoons with Woody Woodpecker, Chilly Willy, and Mighty Mouse...westerns with Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, and James Stewart...travelogues of the world's picturesque places...newsreels of major headline stories...musicals with top singers and bandleaders. Collectors have always wanted a reference book detailing the total output of Castle Films. Here it is. Castle Films: A Hobbyist's Guide is a complete filmography of every title printed between 1937 and 1977. For handy reference, there are separate indexes by title, subject, and serial number, a listing of Castle's color film releases, and a special section "decoding" Castle's various pseudonym titles and disclosing the "true identities" of many films. Castle Films: A Hobbyist's Guide is a fascinating, nostalgic look at one of the pioneers of home entertainment.

Download or read book Delirious New York written by Rem Koolhaas and published by The Monacelli Press, LLC. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its original publication in 1978, Delirious New York has attained mythic status. Back in print in a newly designed edition, this influential cultural, architectural, and social history of New York is even more popular, selling out its first printing on publication. Rem Koolhaas's celebration and analysis of New York depicts the city as a metaphor for the incredible variety of human behavior. At the end of the nineteenth century, population, information, and technology explosions made Manhattan a laboratory for the invention and testing of a metropolitan lifestyle -- "the culture of congestion" -- and its architecture. "Manhattan," he writes, "is the 20th century's Rosetta Stone . . . occupied by architectural mutations (Central Park, the Skyscraper), utopian fragments (Rockefeller Center, the U.N. Building), and irrational phenomena (Radio City Music Hall)." Koolhaas interprets and reinterprets the dynamic relationship between architecture and culture in a number of telling episodes of New York's history, including the imposition of the Manhattan grid, the creation of Coney Island, and the development of the skyscraper. Delirious New York is also packed with intriguing and fun facts and illustrated with witty watercolors and quirky archival drawings, photographs, postcards, and maps. The spirit of this visionary investigation of Manhattan equals the energy of the city itself.
