A great map of Harlem, showing sites both secular and sacred:
Molly Roy, the cartographer, and designer, produced the map in Nonstop Metropolis, a culminating volume in a trilogy of atlases. Her work (she has a number of maps in the atlas) reveals the intimate, ephemeral, and complex experiences of New York City. The larger work (the atlas) has twenty-six imaginative maps and informative essays. The book merges the insights of dozens of experts, from linguists to historians of music, urbanism, and ethnography to environmental journalists, amplified by cartographers, artists, and photographers, it explores all five boroughs of New York City and parts of nearby New Jersey.
Nonstop Metropolis reveals New York’s buried layers, scrutinizes its political heft, and discovers the unexpected in one of the most iconic cities in the world. It is both a challenge and an homage to how New Yorkers think of their city, and how the world sees this capital of capitalism, culture, immigration and more.
