The post-World War II era witnessed New York's reign as the unofficial but undisputed economic and artistic capital of the world. By the mid-1970s, the city had experienced a profound reversal, and both its economy and its reputation were at a historic nadir. The architectural history of the period offered an exceptionally abundant and varied mix of building styles and types, from the faltering traditionalism of the 1940s through the heyday of International Style modernism in the 1950s and 1960s to the incipient postmodernism of the 1970s.

Organized geographically, New York 1960 provides an encyclopedic survey of the city's postwar architecture as well as relating a coherent story about each of its diverse neighborhoods. Primary sources are emphasized, including the commentaries of the preeminent architecture critics of the day; the text is illustrated exclusively with a rich collection of period photographs.]]> 120936 4.47 40 3 16832 4.38 13 1 171164 4.36 14 1 1995 1569425 0847818381 9780847818389 0 <![CDATA[New York 1930: Architecture Between the Two World Wars]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185326372m/1569425.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185326372s/1569425.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1569425.New_York_1930_Architecture_Between_the_Two_World_Wars 4.67 6 </div>]]> 120936 4.47 40 3 171164 4.36 14 1 1988 763275 1892041537 9781892041531 0 <![CDATA[Changing Paris: A Tour Along the Seine]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178140300m/763275.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178140300s/763275.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/763275.Changing_Paris_A_Tour_Along_the_Seine 0.0 0 Documenting the remarkable structures and spaces of Paris, photographer Philip Trager traveled along the river Seine, eloquently juxtaposing the ancient and modern, austere and ornate, and ethereal and urbane. Among the structures and sites that Philip Trager photographs are the "Grand Projets," the new Bibliothque Nationale, Opra Bastille, Grande Arche de la Dfense, and I.M. Pei's monumental glass pyramid additions to the Louvre, as well as the Place de la Concorde, Muse d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Eiffel Tower, Muse d'Orsay, and the beautiful gardens and magnificent bridges of the city. Changing Paris displays Trager's profound mastery of light and unique, contemporary vision, and is a vital record of the continued transformation of Paris in the 90s. Included are insightful essays by Pierre Borhan and Diane Johnson and informative commentary by Thomas Mellins on the architectural history and significance of "the City of Light."

"These views of Paris can truly be called haunting. It is the true, sad, glorious magic of Paris along the river, in which the Louvre and Notre-Dame and even the new national library all pass from matter into light" , Vincent Scully

In the pre-television era, the editors of Look recognized the great demand for photographs of all kinds—politicians, titans of industry, and unsung heroes, glamorous events and intimate moments, society matrons and showgirls, violent crime and courtroom drama—that provided entertainment and diversion to voyeuristic subscribers to the magazine. Reaching a peak circulation of nearly 8 million in the late 1960s, Look was a national publication with a focus on the fascination and allure of New York.

The magazine's New York images—more than 200,000 in all—were donated to the Museum of the City of New York. Only in New York draws from that astonishing archive to present the tapestry that was New York in the 1940s and 1950s.]]> 39251 4.13 53 7 171164 4.36 14 1 2009 3106636 0847830969 9780847830961 0 <![CDATA[New York 1930: Architecture Between the Two World Wars]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3106636.New_York_1930_Architecture_Between_the_Two_World_Wars 0.0 0 1328042 0.0 0 0 729489 0.0 0 0 171164 4.36 14 1 2008 1569428 3822877417 9783822877418 0 <![CDATA[New York Architecture and Urbanism]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185326374m/1569428.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185326374s/1569428.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1569428.New_York_Architecture_and_Urbanism 0.0 0 120936 4.47 40 3 171164 4.36 14 1 37865 3.99 96 7 1998
