Download or read book A History of New York in 101 Objects written by Sam Roberts and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Delightfully surprising….A portable virtual museum…an entertaining stroll through the history of one of the world’s great cities” (Kirkus Reviews), told through 101 distinctive objects that span the history of New York, almost all reproduced in luscious, full color. Inspired by A History of the World in 100 Objects, Sam Roberts of The New York Times chose fifty objects that embody the narrative of New York for a feature article in the paper. Many more suggestions came from readers, and so Roberts has expanded the list to 101. Here are just a few of what this keepsake volume offers: -The Flushing Remonstrance, a 1657 petition for religious freedom that was a precursor to the First Amendment to the Constitution. -Beads from the African Burial Ground, 1700s. Slavery was legal in New York until 1827, although many free blacks lived in the city. The African Burial Ground closed in 1792 and was only recently rediscovered. -The bagel, early 1900s. The quintessential and undisputed New York food (excepting perhaps the pizza). -The Automat vending machine, 1912. Put a nickel in the slot and get a cup of coffee or a piece of pie. It was the early twentieth century version of fast food. -The “I Love NY” logo designed by Milton Glaser in 1977 for a campaign to increase tourism. Along with Saul Steinberg’s famous New Yorker cover depicting a New Yorker’s view of the world, it was perhaps the most famous and most frequently reproduced graphic symbol of the time. Unique, sometimes whimsical, always important, A History of New York in 101 Objects is a beautiful chronicle of the remarkable history of the Big Apple. “The story [Sam Roberts] is telling is that of New York, and he nails it” (Daily News, New York).

Book excerpt: "The New-York Historical Society" takes a probing look behind the headlines to reveal the truth concerning the difficulties that have plagued the Society. This fascinating account is not an expose but an effort to understand why scores of well-intentioned and competent people have been unable to correct problems that have roots in decisions made by the Society over the course of its two-hundred-year existence. Kevin Guthrie's examination of the New-York Historical Society and its efforts to overcome a tradition of mismanagement and elitism serves as an example not only for those concerned about the survival of the Society, but also for those concerned about the continued well-being of museums, libraries, and other nonprofit organizations.
