Book Description
During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. The WPA Guide to New York provides a total of 45 excellent tours, taking the reader across the Empire State, from Niagara Falls and the Adirondacks to the five boroughs of New York City. In addition to the nation’s center for culture and industry, New York also contains rich Native American, Revolutionary, and immigration history—all detailed in this diverse guide for a diverse state.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Progress of the Empire State, Vol. 1: A Work Devoted to the Historical, Financial, Industrial, and Literary Development of New York; New York State and City The predominance of New York in the American Union at the beginning of our history would not have signified much in comparison with larger cities in other countries. When Wall Street marked the upper limits of the thickly settled portion of the city, and aristocratic farms were found in the neighborhood of Washington Square, New York was a negligible factor in the finance of the world. She was over shadowed by London, Paris, Berlin, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Vienna, Frankfort, and other centers of the ten century old civilization of Europe. To-day, only one city in the world surpasses New York in population; only two compete with her in the magnitude of their enterprises, the completeness of their commercial machinery, and the ac cumulation of wealth which is reflected in their brilliant cosmopolitan life.

Book Description
New York City boasts one of the most famous skylines in the world, and the Empire State Building is undeniably the focal point of this incredible view. At 102 stories, the structure was no small feat. In fact, its construction coincided with the onset of the Great Depression, and so progress was met with numerous setbacks. Still, because of the efficiency that went into the building's development, it only took a year and forty-five days to complete! In this informative, easy-to-read account, Janet B. Pascal describes the rise of skyscrapers in the United States, the intricacies of the groundbreaking construction process, and the effect the iconic Empire State Building continues to have today.
Author: John Tauranac Publisher: Cornell University Press ISBN: 0801471095 Category : Architecture Languages : en Pages : 408
Book Description
The Empire State Building is the landmark book on one of the world’s most notable landmarks. Since its publication in 1995, John Tauranac’s book, focused on the inception and construction of the building, has stood as the most comprehensive account of the structure. Moreover, it is far more than a work in architectural history; Tauranac tells a larger story of the politics of urban development in and through the interwar years. In a new epilogue to the Cornell edition, Tauranac highlights the continuing resonance and influence of the Empire State Building in the rapidly changing post-9/11 cityscape.
