History: New York: Portrait Of A City By Reuel Golden, 1850-2009

• In Chapter Four, the Big Apple loses its shine (1966-1987) during a period of economic decline, social protest and mean streets.
• Chapter Five (1988-2009) sees New York rise again from the lean times of the 1970s and early 80s, only to be devastated by the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which forever alter the city's landscape—and its sense of self.
More than just a remarkable tribute to the metropolis and its civic, social, and photographic heritage, New York: Portrait of a City pays homage to the indomitable spirit of those who call themselves New Yorkers: full of hope and strength, resolute in their determination to succeed among its glass and granite towers.
