Описание:
An exploration of the contemporaneous birth of the safety bicycle and box camera in the 1890s in New York City, by way of 9 illustrated historical bike tours. The routes include: a run up the Hudson River Greenway following the route of Wilbur Wright on his record-making 1909 flight; a circumnavigation of Central Park while considering the epic battles to make the park legal for bikes; a cruise around the canyons of the Financial District, to see the places which figured so prominently in the "first wave" of the bicycle craze; a cruise down Broadway from midtown to Battery Park, and then across to Clear Comfort on Staten Island, following pioneer urban social photographer Alice Austen; from Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn through Prospect Park to Coney Island, on America's first dedicated cycle path; an exploration of the last springs and wells in Manhattan, from Central Park up to Inwood, thanks to photographer James Reuel Smith; an eccentric ramble from the Fulton Ferry Landing, through Park Slope, Prospect Heights, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, considering the intersection of various forms of "clairvoyance" in fin de si cle Brooklyn; a cinematic odyssey from the nickelodeon Kinetoscope parlors of midtown Manhattan up across the Queensboro Bridge to Astoria to the Museum of the Moving Image; and a ferry-borne escape to the Rockaway boardwalk, Fort Tilden, and the embryonic landscape of Jamaica Bay. Illustrated with historic photographs and maps, as well as guide maps, the book aims to bring more New Yorkers and visitors onto bicycles to see the city and discover its "silver" past.

Описание: The author of The Age #1 bestselling novel The Memory Cathedral returns to Renaissance Italy with a transcendent vision of the ultimate battle between good and evil. In Shadows in the Stone Jack Dann creates a fully-realized, living, breathing universe, a universe where the Vatican is in Venice, Jehovah is really a lesser god known as the Demiurge, and the magus John Dee's experiments with angels are true and repeatable. Here you'll discover a nun who has the expertise and agility of a Ninja warrior, the reincarnated snake goddess known as the Daughter of Light, the famed Florentine magician Pico Della Mirandola, a young magus who is part stone, the Knights Templar of the Crimson Cross, the sapphire tablet: the most secret of the Dead Sea scrolls, and a 15th Century dirigible kept aloft by imprisoned souls. Here you'll find wild adventure and Machiavellian subtlety, treason and heroism, love and carnality, joy and loss, magic, machines, the cosmic machinations of angels, demons, gods, and half-gods; and the absolutely breathtaking vistas that are their battle grounds. New York Times bestselling author Kim Stanley Robinson has compared Shadows in the Stone with Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, calling it "such a complete world that Italian history no longer seems comprehensible without Dann's] cosmic battle of spiritual entities behind and within every historical actor and event." Join Jack Dann's protagonists--Louisa Morgan and Lucian Ben-Hananiah--and the fellowship of The Dark Companions in their apocalyptic battle against the Demiurge--described in the forbidden Gnostic texts as the demon god Yaldabaoth... and known to us as Jehovah.
