Sinossi

Streets of New York examines the vibrant history of New York City through its most fundamental element: its streets. Rather than just corridors for traffic, these streets are vital public spaces that reflect and shape the city's social, economic, and cultural identity.

The book traces the evolution from early colonial paths to the modern grid system, revealing how urban planning and historical events transformed these routes. It explores how immigration and industrialization have influenced the streets, highlighting the impact of transportation from horse-drawn carriages to the complex subway system.

The book uses diverse sources like historical maps, photos, and personal stories to illustrate its points. For instance, the implementation of the grid system in the early 19th century dramatically altered the city's landscape and social interactions.

The book further investigates how these paved routes became stages for social movements and cultural expressions, analyzing the impact of urban planning philosophies on the streets. The narrative progresses chronologically, addressing modern challenges like traffic and environmental concerns, offering a framework for understanding how streets reflect the city's character across all five boroughs, focusing primarily on Manhattan. This approach offers a unique perspective on urban development and social dynamics.

The book aims to reveal how a city's thoroughfares are living archives that reflect its past, define its present, and shape its future.

Adoption Unfiltered -...

Sara Easterly, Lori Holden,...

Adoption Unfiltered authors Sara Easterly (adoptee), Kelsey Vander Vliet Ranyard (birth parent), and Lori Holden (adoptive parent) interview dozens of adoptees, birth parents, adoptive parents, social workers, therapists, and other allies—all sharing candidly about the challenges in adoption. While finding common ground in the sometimes-contentious space of adoption may seem like a lofty goal, it reveals the authors' optimistic aim: working together with truth and transparency to move toward healing. 
 
 
 
Healing isn't possible, though, without first uncovering the hurts—starting with adoption's central players: adoptees, who are so often in pain, suffering from what the latest brain science validates as the long-term emotional effects of separation trauma. By encouraging others to vulnerably share their stories, the authors discover that adoptees aren't the only ones in the adoption constellation who are hurting. Birth parents regularly shut down after being shut out by adoptive parents. Adoptive parents often struggle with unique parenting challenges and hidden insecurity, feeling the need to hide the fact that they are not the Super Parents they led the agency to believe they would be. Across the industry as a whole, misinformed and unethical practices abound. This book models the importance of adults in adoption working together in the spirit of empathy.

I Bought A Female Robot Companion

Don Cronk

When I mentioned to my friends my desire to own a female robot, I got the most peculiar responses from them. Firstly, their eyes would light up from the shock. Then they whinnied like a horse laughing. And would slowly back away from me regarding me suspiciously as they did so. 
A man like me must be careful when he enters old age because people treat you like an imbecile who’s trying to relive his youth by having the audacity to let ideas wander around aimlessly in his head. To some people, old age is frowned upon as a disability. 
When the day came for me to decide to purchase the robot online, people send my wife wouldn’t allow me to have such a toy. She gave me a lecture on how retired people should act and bringing a female robot into her house was not the act of a sane old fart. “I forbid you having such idle nonsense.” 
I pressed down hard on the “order now” button and awaited the outcome…
