Beschreibung

Subway Facts explores the intricate world of underground transportation, revealing the technological and architectural marvels that shape our cities. It delves into the engineering feats required to construct these essential arteries, highlighting how subway systems are more than just transportation; they are complex ecosystems reflecting and influencing urban life. Did you know that early subways pioneered solutions for ventilation and tunneling that continue to influence modern construction? Or that architectural choices in station design significantly impact passenger flow and user experience?

 
The book progresses from the historical roots of subway construction, detailing tunneling methods and architectural designs, to examining the broader impact on urban life. It analyzes the effects on traffic, property values, and social equity, concluding with future trends like automation and smart technologies. Case studies of cities such as New York and Tokyo provide concrete examples of the concepts discussed, making the book valuable for students, professionals, and anyone interested in the hidden workings of urban environments.

 
The book uniquely combines technical details with an analysis of the human element, examining how subways are experienced and how they shape urban communities. Diagrams and photographs complement the text, enhancing understanding of concepts from civil engineering to urban design. This approach allows for a comprehensive understanding of subway systems as vital components of urban infrastructure.

    A powerful history of Jewish art collectors in France, and how an embrace of art and beauty was met with hatred and destruction 
     
     
     
    In the dramatic years between 1870 and the end of World War II, a number of prominent French Jews—pillars of an embattled community—invested their fortunes in France's cultural artifacts, sacrificed their sons to the country's army, and were ultimately rewarded by seeing their collections plundered and their families deported to Nazi concentration camps. 
     
     
     
    In this rich, evocative account, James McAuley explores the central role that art and material culture played in the assimilation and identity of French Jews in the fin-de-siècle. Weaving together narratives of various figures, some familiar from the works of Marcel Proust and the diaries of Jules and Edmond Goncourt—the Camondos, the Rothschilds, the Ephrussis, the Cahens d'Anvers—McAuley shows how Jewish art collectors contended with a powerful strain of anti-Semitism: they were often accused of "invading" France's cultural patrimony. The collections these families left behind—many ultimately donated to the French state—were their response, tragic attempts to celebrate a nation that later betrayed them.

    Let's say you want to know which famous Canadian poet lived in the Waverley Hotel for seven years, constantly changing rooms in fear of RCMP bugs. Or you live at 44 Walmer and want to know what on earth they were thinking with those balconies. Or you want to know what's behind (or underneath!) that giant O hanging over Harbord at Spadina. These things were troubling us, too, so we assembled East/West: A Guide to Where People Live in Downtown Toronto.
       
    East/West is a guided tour of old stories and fresh perspectives on the architecture and planning of housing and urban development in central Toronto – including both success stories and perennial problems. With specially prepared maps and over 120 photos, and essays – written by 65 of our best architects, historians and planners – exploring the history and development of neighbourhoods and of the individual buildings within them, East/West is a portrait of Toronto like no other.
       
    East/West is not your average city guide. It'll take you down alleyways you've never heard of, show you buildings you've never seen, offer you that bit of history you've never been able to access. It tells you how Toronto has tried to house the homeless over the years, how the waterfront evolved (or devolved, depending on how you look at it), and the character of different neighbourhoods has changed. FromAnnex abodes to Rosedale residences, this book will introduce you to a Toronto you only thought you knew.
