Lost in Brooklyn
Brooklyn. Once the scrappy sibling in New York's borough family, it has long since shrugged off any inferiority complex. Now, it's the global capital of cool--where brownstone stoops double as office desks or where a bodega cat might have more Instagram followers than you. Brooklyn is a borough of contradictions. Luxury condos cast shadows over anarchist bookstores. Vegan bakeries coexist with 100-year-old pastrami-slinging delis. You'll find rooftop raves in Gowanus warehouses and backyard poetry readings in Bed-Stuy. Vintage is currency, and authenticity is curated with intent. But beyond the kaleidoscope of clich矇s lies some-thing magnetic. LOST iN introduces you to the locals who make the borough tick: the Coney Island native giving food tours from his vintage checkered cab, the Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef who left the line to cook in a Clinton Hill brownstone, the DJ weaving genre-spanning sets laced with sounds from the streets. You'll discover where a new generation of car aficionados gather in a forgotten Navy Yard terminal, where to sip from a 13-glass martini fountain with escargot, and how to pick up skating at an intergalactic dream-rink lit like a spaceship landing. Brooklyn is messy and mythic. A borough forever under construction--of buildings, identities, dreams. Get lost in its maze of neighborhoods, its alchemy of edge and warmth. Get lost in Brooklyn. Street walls hijacked as canvases, a bar hidden behind a pizzeria spinning 90s mixtapes, vintage finds under a bridge's archways, concerts in a bowling alley and social rock wall... Get lost in the borough of cool and contradiction. Includes: * Five long-form interviews with celebrated locals on their pursuits and life in Brooklyn * A locals-curated list of the Top 5 places to check out for the best slice, cocktails and more * A photo showcase by Brooklyn native and award-winning street photographer Jamel Shabazz * A detailed index for ease of use in planning and organizing trips * More than 100 pages of recommendations and write ups for dining, dancing, drinking, and day-tripping in the borough.

Driving by Memory
Road trips to Las Vegas are the occasion for this entertaining meditation on the quintessentially American experience of driving across the desert. William Fox, successively exiled from California, Nevada, and New Mexico, has spent more time than most of us driving to Las Vegas--and he has taken notes on three recent trips, his own way of bringing cohesion to the vast and mind-numbing aspects of the freeway. Approaching the most postmodern city on the planet from three directions, he examines the landscape and what we do to it while also trying to figure out who he is, what that means, and the nature of the transformations of land into landscape through art and architecture, landscape design, and advertising. Fox's history of the region, both natural and cultural, highlights the creep of the urban supergrid across the most extensively traveled desert in the world. This is a profoundly personal, even idiosyncratic book about the most public of subjects--living in the postmodern West at the end of the millennium and what the cities, the freeways, the open spaces, and the billboards tell us about ourselves.
Enchanted Lifeways
This invaluable cultural guidebook provides information on New Mexico's museums, historic districts, remote villages, ancient ruins, libraries, arts and crafts fairs, performing arts events, and festivals. It also provides a town-by-town directory of arts organizations and art in public places as well as historical profiles and a calendar of community celebrations. Featuring historical images as well as the work of contemporary photographers, this book reveals the rich diversity of the state's cultural resources, from Anasazi sites to interstellar observatories, from traditional village crafts to postmodern art, from time-honored ceremonies to rodeos to operas."If you want to get a fuller experience of New Mexico--or if you just want to get your bearings--here's the place to start. Think of Enchanted Lifeways as a navigational guide to the spirit of the state. Keep it in the glove box for those quick, necessary departures to places you can never know too well or honor too much."--William deBuys, author of River of Traps
