Hardback. Condición: Very Good. How has America's most expensive and progressive city helped its residents to live? Since the nineteenth century, the need for high-quality affordable housing has been one of New York City's most urgent issues. Affordable Housing in New York explores the past, present, and future of the city's pioneering efforts, from the 1920s to the major initiatives of Mayor Bill de Blasio. The book examines the people, places, and policies that have helped make New York livable, from early experiments by housing reformers and the innovative public-private solutions of the 1970s and 1980s to today's professionalized affordable housing industry. More than two dozen leading scholars tell the story of key figures of the era, including Fiorello LaGuardia, Robert Moses, Jane Jacobs, and Ed Koch. Over twenty-five individual housing complexes are profiled, including Queensbridge Houses, America's largest public housing complex; Stuyvesant Town; Co-op City; and recent additions like Via Verde. Plans, models, archival photos, and newly commissioned portraits of buildings and tenants put the efforts of the past century into social, political, and cultural context and look ahead to future prospects for below-market subsidized housing. A richly illustrated, dynamic portrait of an evolving city, this is a comprehensive and authoritative history of public and middle-income housing in New York and contributes significantly to contemporary debates on how to enable future generations of New Yorkers to call the city home. Contributors include: Matthias Altwicker, Hilary Ballon, Lizabeth Cohen, Andrew S. Dolkart, Peter Eisenstadt, Richard Greenwald, Christopher Klemek, Jeffrey A. Kroessler, Nancy H. Kwak, Nadia A.

Hardbound. Condición: Good. 1st Edition. Description: Includes a double page map plus a section of color photo plates. From the jacket blurb: ''Against a background of crisis and corruption, journalist Nicholas Gordon criss-crossed Tanzania's ivory trail by jeep, plane and through the bush on foot, hunting down the jangili, the ivory poachers. Poor and illiterate, far out in the bush, and living by their wits from camp to camp, the jangili are the shadow masters of Ivory Knights. Their skill is bushcraft, their weapon stealth, their strength an immemorial atavistic magic of animal powers. As the once great herds make their last stand in the vastness of Tanzania's Selous reserve, understanding the jangili is the key to the future. This book is about a war we must not lose.''
