In How the Other Half Lives, New Yorkers read with horror that three-quarters of the residents of their city were housed in tenements and that in those tenements rents were substantially higher than in better sections of the city. In his book Riis gave a full and detailed picture of what life in those slums was like, how the slums were created, how and why they remained as they were, who was forced to live there, and offered suggestions for easing the lot of the poor. Riis originally documented all his studies with photographs. However, since the half-tone technique of photo reproduction had not been perfected, the original edition included mainly reductions in sketch-form of Riis' photographs. These could not begin to capture what Riis' sensitive camera caught on film. The anguish and the apathy, the toughness and the humiliation of the anonymous faces is all but obliterated in the sketches. This Dover edition includes fully 100 photographs, many famous, and many less familiar, from the Riis collection of the City Museum, and their inclusion here creates a closer conformity to Riis' intentions than did the original edition. Jacob Riis was one of the very few men who photographed the slums of New York at the turn of the century, when as many as 300,000 people per square mile were crowded into the tenements of New York's Lower East Side. The filth and degradation made the area a hell for the immigrants forced to live there. Riis was one of those immigrants, and, after years of abject poverty, when he became a police reporter for the New York Tribune, he exposed the shameful conditions of life with which he was all too familiar. Today, he is best remembered as a compassionate and effective reformer and as a pioneer photo-journalist.

Winner of the 2005 Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize. The long-awaited follow-up to The Key to the City-a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1986-Anne Winters's The Displaced of Capital emanates a quiet and authoritative passion for social justice, embodying the voice of a subtle, sophisticated conscience. The "displaced" in the book's title refers to the poor, the homeless, and the disenfranchised who populate New York, the city that serves at once as gritty backdrop, city of dreams, and urban nightmare. Winters also addresses the culturally, ethnically, and emotionally excluded and, in these politically sensitive poems, writes without sentimentality of a cityscape of tenements and immigrants, offering her poetry as a testament to the lives of have-nots. In the central poem, Winters witnesses the relationship between two women of disparate social classes whose friendship represents the poet's political convictions. With poems both powerful and musical, The Displaced of Capital marks Anne Winters's triumphant return and assures her standing as an essential New York poet.

On a l'habitude d'associer l'architecture suisse, avec les noms d'architectes mondialement connus tels que Mario Botta, Peter Zumthor ou Herzog & de Meuron et avec leurs édifices emblématiques. Or ce livre ne focalise pas sur les belles villas ou les projets prestigieux tels que des musées mais sur les réalisations des coopératives de logements en Suisse, notamment dans la ville de Zurich. Ces dernières 15 années, les projets des coopératives ont clairement changé. Grâce au soutien de fonds publics et aux concours d'architectures favorisant l'innovation, de nouveaux modèles résidentiels se sont développés à Zurich qui ont une grande influence sur la ville et la vie urbaine. Des réalisations qui peuvent servir d'exemples de référence pour faire face à la croissance très générale des besoins en logements dans les villes. Ce livre offre la première vue d'ensemble sur les réalisations et projets des coopératives d'habitat à Zurich. Avec de nombreux plans et illustrations, il présente une cinquantaine de projets en détail. En outre, dans des interviews, des architectes et des responsables des coopératives expriment leurs intentions.
