Editorials

From Barnes & Noble

New York isn't just the city that never sleeps; it's also the metropolis that is constantly remaking itself in new and exciting ways. Jake Rajs's New New York refreshes our sense of this world hub with a fitting large-scale celebration of recently created buildings and parks. Among the landmarks showcased are the Time Warner Center, Hearst Tower, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and The High Line, "New York's park in the sky." Both the photographs and an essay by noted architecture critic Philip Nobel place these new wonders within the context of the complex environment of the city. A gift for any Gotham lover.
