The New York Waterfront : Evolution and Building Culture of the Port and Harbor

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comEver since Peter Stuyvesant established the first pier in the 1640s, the New York City waterfront has been a hotbed of controversy and conflicting special interests. Not until 1871 did the city institute the Department of Docks to bring some order to the port and harbor, prior to that, the city`s 112 piers were all under the authority of different agencies, and by the 1870s the entire infrastructure had decayed, wooden wharves were dilapidated, rat-infested, and unsafe. To impose some method upon the maritime madness, the city created its Department of Docks under General George B. McClellan. For 60 years the waterfront thrived, until New Jersey replaced New York as a final destination for container ships, now the area is once again in decline. In The New York Waterfront, historians, students, architects, and teachers take a look at where the port and harbor have been and speculate about their future. The six essays in this book offer both a historical context and… [detailed...]

The New York, Ontario and Western Railway (Postcard History)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The New York, Ontario and Western Railway was the first class-one railroad in the United States to be abandoned in its entirety. Whereas other rail lines were closed gradually, the federal government closed down the railroad on March 29, 1957, for its failure to pay employee withholding taxes. The railroad went into bankruptcy in 1937 after its main shipping commodity, coal, was rapidly replaced by oil for home heat. As time passed, the interest in this abandoned railroad grew, and much of the company?s records have been recovered and preserved. Today, with 750 members, the Ontario and Western Railway Historical Society Archives Center houses this unique corporate record collection. In addition, there are extensive private collections of everything from locomotives, passenger cars, lanterns, and tools to company passes and railroad police memorabilia. [detailed...]

Description: `Know that for every exuberant `I love you` from a three-year-old, you`re bound to get a, as they say, developmentally appropriate `I hate you` from a thirteen-year-old.

Laughter helps.` --Cartoonist Barbara Smaller, introduction to the Book of Moms Perfect for Mother`s Day, 100 sarcastically pitch-perfect cartoons culled from The New Yorker archives to celebrate Mom`s unique motherly mom-ness.

Publisher: —
Description: As the federal system of entitlements and social services long provided by New Deal­era programs is dismantled and shifted to the states, the religious community finds itself relied upon more than ever to assist with social services for the needy. The Newer Deal calls upon religious-based organizations and the social work­social service community to put aside their differences and forge a `limited partnership` to provide the social and welfare services that millions depend on. The proposed partnership focuses on joint care for those in need -with attention to services for people of color, gays and lesbians, women, and programs for community empowerment and economic development -while maintaining the values and other interests each partner traditionally holds. The authors discuss different types of religious-based social services and draw on case examples and research findings to show how the religious community?s role in providing social services is… [detailed...]

The Newton Wars and the Beginning of the French Enlightenment

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Nothing is considered more natural than the connection between Isaac Newton’s science and the modernity that came into being during the eighteenth-century Enlightenment. Terms like “Newtonianism” are routinely taken as synonyms for “Enlightenment” and “moern” thought, yet the particular conjunction of these terms has a history full of accidents and contingencies. Modern physics, for example, was not the determined result of the rational unfolding of Newton’s scientific work in the eighteenth century, nor as the Enlightenment the natural and inevitable consequence of Newton’s eighteenth-century reception. Each of these outcomes, in fact, was a contingent event produced by the particular historical developments of the early eighteenth century. A comprehensie study of public culture, The Newton Wars and the Beginning of the French Enlightenment digs below the surface of the commonplace narratives that link Newton with Enlightenment thought to examine the actual historical changes that… [detailed...]

Pushed onward by Michael`s unceasing thirst for new adventures and his father`s dreams of the next better place, the careworn twosome live far outside convention.
