How - and why - did one of the world's greatest cities come to be teetering on the edge of bankruptcy? Ken Auletta, writer for THE NEW YORKER and columnist for THE DAILY NEWS, shows how the decline of New York City was partly inevitable --- the result of shifting migration patterns and rapidl technological innovations --- and partly caused by anarchic political and economic factions, each angling for its own advantage. His lucid examination also pinpoints the core of New York City's problems --- the failure of liberal democratic government --- and explores what this will mean for the future of all American cities. "A tremendously impressive combination of reporting and analysis that illuminates not only New York's situation, but also the most basic trends in the politics and economy of the nation as a whole" - James Fallows, Washington Editor, THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY "Absolute must reading for anyone concerned with New York and the urban future." - George Sternlieb, Director, Centor for Urban Policy Researcch, Rutgers University

The young beautiful ladyas name was Fortunata. She was in her twenties when she was planning her destiny for life. A new life in a new land in a new world with the love of her life, Antonio. They both were plotting to run away to a place far away called America. The streets, they said, there were paved with gold. They could give their love and relationship a chance to nourish and grow. They could start their own family in a new world. The reason that Fortunataas family did not approve of their love affair was because Antonio was her familyas gardener. A gardener in Italy back in the early nineteen hundreds was considered a mere peasant and classified as the lower class. Fortunata was strictly forbidden by her family to marry beneath her class. Therefore she had no other choice but to elope with her man to a new land. An escape to freedom and paradise was evident but the streets in this new land were not paved with gold but were a hard road to hoe. This is a true story of one womanas determination and strong will to succeed and to never give up on her dreams to pursue and create a new life in a new land. Fortunata never gave up on that new world and most importantly she never looked back. This story is a tribute to my grandmother Fortunata Blassetti DiFelice.

Whether Jewish, Irish, German, Italian or other ethnic groups that were part of the mass migration to our shores out of Europe from the latter part of the 1800s to the early part of the 1900s, the story is familiar. The new arrivals overcame unbelievable hardships in their new land so that their offspring would have a better life than they had had in the old country. And well they did. The decendents of these poor, weary immigrants have become leaders in every field be it politics, science, law, medicine, the military, arts and entertainment, etc. What a stroke of good fortune for both the progeny (of which I am one) and America.

Tulsa, Oklahoma, "the oil capital of the world," has a long and varied history. Evidence of a possible Norse presence dates to 1000 AD. An ancient people known as the Mound Builders populated the area, then disappeared just prior to the arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the 1540s. Osage Indians, as well as other members of the Five Tribes, called this part of Oklahoma home. French trappers made a brief appearance. Finally, outlaws like "Pretty Boy" Floyd and "Machine Gun" Kelly cooled their heels in Tulsa while running from the law in the 1930s. What Tulsa is really known for, however, is oil. The discovery of oil fields in Tulsa at the turn of the century caused an economic and social revolution. The formerly small town became a center of power, and fortunes worth millions of dollars were gained and lost. J. Paul Getty got his start in Tulsa along with his father, who was one of the first to ride Tulsa's tsunami-like oil wave. The town boomed through the 20s and 30s, and oil money built the town of Tulsa into the city it is today. Tulsa currently hosts a population of 380,000 people, and, in honor of its oil legacy, is home to one of the most prominent petroleum schools in the world.

'Weaves the wacky, the woeful and the wonderful into an entertaining narrative spiced with lots of London-inspired poetry' - The Times From the medieval cobbles, through Dickensian iron and fog, to the neon lights and bustle of the twenty-first century, the ever-changing streets of London map out the vibrant stories, triumphs and struggles of everyone who ever called London home. From the Roman and Celts marching along the ancient Old Kent Road, to the rattling newspaper presses of Fleet Street, the game of Monopoly has painted London's story across cheerful coloured tiles. But those Monopoly streets live and breathe - they don't just illuminate our history. They open up whole new ways of thinking about it. The mobs have taken to our streets. The overlords have taken them back. Wars have spilled out into them. Lovers have snuck around them, and fires have raged through them. In a city of rags and riches, where folk hero Dick Whittington believed the streets were paved with gold, anything could happen - and everything has. You may think you know the history of London. You don't. Or at least, not entirely. This is the story of the capital as you've never, quite, heard it before.
