{"product_id":"fluid-new-york-may-joseph-9780822354604","title":"Fluid New York: Cosmopolitan Urbanism and the Green Imagination","description":"Hurricane Sandy was a fierce demonstration of the ecological vulnerability of New York, a city of islands. Yet the storm also revealed the resilience of a metropolis that has started during the past decade to reckon with its aqueous topography. In \u003ci\u003eFluid New York\u003c\/i\u003e, May Joseph describes the many ways that New York, and New Yorkers, have begun to incorporate the city's archipelago ecology into plans for a livable and sustainable future. For instance, by cleaning its tidal marshes, the municipality has turned a previously dilapidated waterfront into a space for public leisure and rejuvenation. \u003cp\u003eJoseph considers New York's relation to the water that surrounds and defines it. Her reflections reach back to the city's heyday as a world-class port--a past embodied in a Dutch East India Company cannon recently unearthed from the rubble at the World Trade Center site--and they encompass the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. They suggest that New York's future lies in the reclamation of its great water resources--for artistic creativity, civic engagement, and ecological sustainability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e May Joseph\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822354608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822354604\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/08\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2014\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"May Joseph","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48457736225023,"sku":"9780822354604","price":112.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b68be087-ce76-4cd9-a0d4-085357140d5b.jpg?v=1777400727","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fluid-new-york-may-joseph-9780822354604","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
