"The maps themselves are things of beauty...a document of its time,
of our time." -Sadie Stein, New York Times "One is invited to
fathom the many New Yorks hidden from history's eye...thoroughly
terrific." -Maria Popova, Brain Pickings Nonstop Metropolis, the
culminating volume in a trilogy of atlases, conveys innumerable
unbound experiences of New York City through twenty-six imaginative
maps and informative essays. Bringing together the insights of
dozens of experts-from linguists to music historians,
ethnographers, urbanists, and environmental journalists-amplified
by cartographers, artists, and photographers, it explores all five
boroughs of New York City and parts of nearby New Jersey. We are
invited to travel through Manhattan's playgrounds, from polyglot
Queens to many-faceted Brooklyn, and from the resilient Bronx to
the mystical kung fu hip-hop mecca of Staten Island. The
contributors to this exquisitely designed and gorgeously
illustrated volume celebrate New York City's unique vitality, its
incubation of the avant-garde, and its literary history, but they
also critique its racial and economic inequality, environmental
impact, and erasure of its past. Nonstop Metropolis allows us to
excavate New York's buried layers, to scrutinize its political
heft, and to discover the unexpected in one of the most iconic
cities in the world. It is both a challenge and homage to how New
Yorkers think of their city, and how the world sees this capital of
capitalism, culture, immigration, and more. Contributors: Sheerly
