"The Skylight Room" is a tale of two amazing women locking horns in Greenwich Village - one young and famous, the other old and poor, both incredibly strong and passionate. The young one, Hannah Schmitt, is a onetime super model, married to a retired baseball superstar. Eager for the right home in which to film her family's reality show, Hannah buys a crumbling red brick rooming house in the Village, where Clare Owen has lived in the skylight room for nearly seventy years. Hannah buys out out all the other tenants, but Clare refuses to budge, and until she does, the building cannot be renovated, and the reality show can't be filmed. Their battle turns into an all-out crusade in the pages of the New York Post, spearheaded by a tabloid force of nature named Tom Becker. Read all about it! Supermodel trying to evict saintly old woman! Stressful times follow. Hannah's marriage falls apart. Her children are troubled. She must get that house, to keep it all together. And when Hannah climbs the stairs to the skylight room to negotiate face-to-face with Clare, we learn all about this old lady's jaw-dropping life in the Village of the 50s, which includes flings with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Joe DiMaggio and Jackson Pollock. She was wild, she was gorgeous, and she too was on her way to becoming a supermodel - when her crazy love life took a nasty turn. It's a dark secret Clare has kept to herself all these years, until she shares it at last with Hannah - who, it turns out, is more of a soulmate than an enemy.

The Manhattan skyline is one of the great wonders of the modern world. But how and why did it form? Much has been written about the city's architecture and its general history, but little work has explored the economic forces that created the skyline. In Building the Skyline, Jason Barr chronicles the economic history of the Manhattan skyline. In the process, he debunks some widely held misconceptions about the city's history. Starting with Manhattan's natural and geological history, Barr moves on to how these formations influenced early land use and the development of neighborhoods, including the dense tenement neighborhoods of Five Points and the Lower East Side, and how these early decisions eventually impacted the location of skyscrapers built during the Skyscraper Revolution at the end of the 19th century. Barr then explores the economic history of skyscrapers and the skyline, investigating the reasons for their heights, frequencies, locations, and shapes. He discusses why skyscrapers emerged downtown and why they appeared three miles to the north in midtown-but not in between the two areas. Contrary to popular belief, this was not due to the depths of Manhattan's bedrock, nor the presence of Grand Central Station. Rather, midtown's emergence was a response to the economic and demographic forces that were taking place north of 14th Street after the Civil War. Building the Skyline also presents the first rigorous investigation of the causes of the building boom during the Roaring Twenties. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the boom was largely a rational response to the economic growth of the nation and city. The last chapter investigates the value of Manhattan Island and the relationship between skyscrapers and land prices. Finally, an Epilogue offers policy recommendations for a resilient and robust future skyline.
