New York: An Illustrated History Revised and Expanded Burns Ric
A revised and expanded edition of the landmark, ravishing history of New York City--the companion volume to the acclaimed PBS series--that begins in 1624 and brings its 400-year-long story up to the current moment.This edition of the biography of this great and ever-evolving city includes two new chapters that deliver a sweeping portrait of New York since September 11, 2001. Yet, here too is a city challenged--indeed, sometimes shaken to its core--by a series of profound crises: the aftermath of 9/11, the continual struggle with racial injustice, the financial crisis of 2008, the devastation of Superstorm Sandy, the still unfolding cataclysm of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here is the city at the dawn of the 21st century, having emerged from decades of decline to assert its place at the very center of a new globalized culture.
