DESCRIPTION:celebrating the release of\n\nNonstop Metropolis: A New York City 
 Atlas\n\nby Rebecca Solnit and Joshua Jelly-Schapiro\n\nfrom University of 
 California Press\n\nNonstop Metropolis, the culminating volume in a trilogy 
 of atlases, conveys innumerable unbound experiences of New York City 
 through twenty-six imaginative maps and informative essays. Bringing 
 together the insights of dozens of experts—from linguists to music 
 historians, ethnographers, urbanists, and environmental 
 journalists—amplified by cartographers, artists, and photographers, it 
 explores all five boroughs of New York City and parts of nearby New Jersey. 
 We are invited to travel through Manhattan's playgrounds, from polyglot 
 Queens to many-faceted Brooklyn, and from the resilient Bronx to the 
 mystical kung fu hip-hop mecca of Staten Island. The contributors to this 
 exquisitely designed and gorgeously illustrated volume celebrate New York 
 City's unique vitality, its incubation of the avant-garde, and its literary 
 history, but they also critique its racial and economic inequality, 
 environmental impact, and erasure of its past. Nonstop Metropolis allows us 
 to excavate New York’s buried layers, to scrutinize its political heft, 
 and to discover the unexpected in one of the most iconic cities in the 
 world. It is both a challenge and homage to how New Yorkers think of their 
 city, and how the world sees this capital of capitalism, culture, 
 immigration, and more.\n\nContributors: Sheerly Avni, Gaiutra Bahadur,
