Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Organizes the city in an array of beautiful and cohesive shades . . . One of the best books about New York City by way of vibrant and striking images.” —New York Simply This photographic portrait of New York captures the city as never before, in a vibrant visual tour, color by color. From Staten Island Ferry orange to taxicab yellow, photographer and writer Nichole Robertson brings New York’s quintessential shades into focus, seeking out the city’s hiding-in-plain-sight treasures: bananas sold streetside for a dollar, bright red “no parking” signs, stacks of delicious golden-brown pretzels, gleaming Art Deco gold archways. Arranged by color, these striking views portray the spirit of the city across every borough. A unique love letter to the iconic metropolis, this celebration of the city will charm locals as well as everyone who loves—or dreams of—visiting the Big Apple. Praise for Nichole Robertson’s Paris in Love “A beautiful ode that will leave you pining for Paris.” —Lindsey Tramuta, author of The New Paris “That magic feeling you get when you are falling in love with a person or place—in this case Paris!—is encapsulated in this stunning gem of a book.” —Samantha Hahn, author of Well-Read Women “We’re smitten by Nichole Robertson’s Paris in Love, which celebrates all things Parisian—especially crimson things, from raspberry tarts to scarlet mopeds, rosy begonias and glossy, berry-hued cafe chairs—in glorious photographs.” —San Jose Mercury News

Download or read book Karachi Vice written by Samira Shackle and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fast-paced, hair-raising journey around Karachi in the company of those who know the city inside out - from an electrifying new voice in narrative non-fiction. Karachi. Pakistan’s largest city is a sprawling metropolis of twenty million people, twice the size of New York City. It is a place of political turbulence in which those who have power wield it with brutal and partisan force. It takes an insider to know where is safe, who to trust, and what makes Karachi tick. In this powerful debut, Samira Shackle explores the city of her mother’s birth in the company of a handful of Karachiites. Among them is Safdar the ambulance driver, who knows the city’s streets and shortcuts intimately and will stop at nothing to help his fellow citizens. There is Parveen, the activist whose outspoken views on injustice repeatedly lead her towards danger. And there is Zille, the hardened journalist whose commitment to getting the best scoops puts him at increasing risk. Their individual experiences unfold and converge, as Shackle tells the bigger story of Karachi over the past decade as it endures a terrifying crime wave: a period in which the Taliban arrive in Pakistan, adding to the daily perils for its residents and pushing their city into the international spotlight. Writing with intimate local knowledge and a global perspective, Shackle paints a vivid portrait of one of the most complex and compelling cities in the world, a city where the borders blur between politicians and gangsters and between lawful and unlawful, as dangerous new forces of violent extremism are pitted against old networks of power.
