The New York Yankees
Book Description
The New York Yankees. One hundred seasons of baseball. One
hundred years of tradition. This official book celebrates the most successful
team in sports history. Lavishly illustrated and designed with more than 175
photographs from the Yankees’ own archives, some never seen before, this
dazzling volume brings to life a century of baseball with the Bronx Bombers.
This winning retrospective captures the glorious championships, intense
rivalries, and unparalleled players who have thrilled millions of fans year
after year. From the unbeatable, record-breaking 1927 Yankees managed by
Hall-of Famer Miller Huggins to the ongoing legacy of Joe Torre and his
phenomenal four World Series victories; from such unforgettable players as the
Babe, Lou Gehrig, and Yogi Berra, to today’s powerhouse hitters Derek Jeter,
Bernie Williams, and Jason Giambi; from the early magnificent days in the
House That Ruth Built to the Steinbrenner era that heralded unprecedented
excellence for three decades and counting—here is an inimitable portrait of
America’s team.
Taking you where no other book has gone before—onto the field and into the
bull pens and locker rooms—it features notable essays by leading writers like
Roger Kahn and Robert Creamer, along with dozens of candid, first-person
accounts and reminiscences from the players themselves.
A must-have keepsake for every fan, this fitting tribute to the Yankees 100th
season, a is brimming with some of the most astonishing athletes and
accomplishments ever, including Joe DiMaggio’s fifty-six game hit streak,
Roger Marris’ sixty-one homers, and Mickey Mantle’s Triple Crown season. Like
the Yankees themselves, this book is sure to be a classic.
This is New York
Book Description
Facsimile edition of a beloved, long out-of-print
children's classic.
The charm and uniqueness of New York City was never more beautifully and
whimsically created for children than in Miroslav Sasek's This Is New York.
First published in 1960, his vision of New York nearly forty years ago still
remains fresh: the hustle and bustle of Times Square, the ethnic
neighborhoods, the awe-inspiring architecture. Sasek captured the essences of
New York that delight children and parents, many of whom who will remember the
book from their childhood.
The Colossus of New York
Inside Flap Copy
In a dazzlingly original work of nonfiction, the
award-winning novelist Colson Whitehead re-creates the exuberance, the chaos,
the promise, and the heartbreak of New York. Here is a literary love song that
will entrance anyone who has lived in?or spent time?in the greatest of
American cities.
A masterful evocation of the city that never sleeps, The Colossus of New
York captures the city?s inner and outer landscapes in a series of
vignettes, meditations, and personal memories. Colson Whitehead conveys with
almost uncanny immediacy the feelings and thoughts of longtime residents and
of newcomers who dream of making it their home; of those who have conquered
its challenges; and of those who struggle against its cruelties.
Whitehead?s style is as multilayered and multifarious as New York itself:
Switching from third person, to first person, to second person, he weaves
individual voices into a jazzy musical composition that perfectly reflects the
way we experience the city. There is a funny, knowing riff on what it feels
like to arrive in New York for the first time; a lyrical meditation on how the
city is transformed by an unexpected rain shower; and a wry look at the
ferocious battle that is commuting. The plaintive notes of the lonely and
dispossessed resound in one passage, while another captures those magical
moments when the city seems to be talking directly to you, inviting you to
become one with its rhythms.
The Colossus of New York is a remarkable portrait of life in the big
city. Ambitious in scope, gemlike in its details, it is at once an
unparalleled tribute to New York and the ideal introduction to one of the most
exciting writers working today.
