Winner of the 2017 Brendan Gill Prize from the Municipal Arts Society of New York "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." --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.

When I looked up the book on other sites and first learned about it and other cities, it was presented as a book of quirky maps of the city with significant historical events marked on the map. Maps in this book include Crash, Songs, Carbon, Water and others. But, in between the maps are essays and information about the maps and back ground for some of the sites marked n the map. I was surprised by the thickness of the book when I got it, and the price, but the contents explain those things. This is not a good/bad review. If you want a book about some aspects of New York and its history, you might like it. If you have seen that it is just a book of maps about a city, it is more than that.
