The ideal companion for city buffs, who'll come away seeing the streets in an entirely different light. -
Kirkus Here is a field guide, a boon, a
bible, for the urban curious. Your city's secret anatomy laid bare -- a hundred things you look at but don't see, see but don't know. Each entry is a compact, surprising story, a thought piece, an invitation to marvel. Together, they are almost transformative. To know why things are as they are adds a satisfying richness to daily existence. This book is terrific, just terrific.
