SUMMARY:Designing San Francisco: The Untold Story of How Artists and Activists Rebuilt Postwar SF
DESCRIPTION:Alison Isenberg\, Professor of History and Co-Director of the Princeton Mellon Initiative in Architecture\, Urbanism\, and the Humanities presents her new book Designing San Francisco\, the untold story of the formative postwar decades when U.S. cities took their modern shape amid clashing visions of the future. In this pathbreaking and richly illustrated book\, Isenberg shifts the focus from architects and city planners–those most often hailed in histories of urban development and design–to the unsung artists\, activists\, and others who played pivotal roles in rebuilding San Francisco between the 1940s and the 1970s. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrevious accounts of midcentury urban renewal have focused on the opposing terms set down by Robert Moses and Jane Jacobs–put simply\, development versus preservation–and have followed New York City models. Now Isenberg turns our attention west to colorful\, pioneering\, and contentious San Francisco\, where unexpectedly fierce battles were waged over iconic private and public projects like Ghirardelli Square\, Golden Gateway\, and the Transamerica Pyramid.\n\nWhen large-scale redevelopment came to low-rise San Francisco in the 1950s\, the resulting rivalries and conflicts sparked the proliferation of numerous allied arts fields and their professionals\, including architectural model makers\, real estate publicists\, graphic designers\, photographers\, property managers\, builders\, sculptors\, public-interest lawyers\, alternative press writers\, and preservationists. Isenberg explores how these centrally engaged arts professionals brought new ideas to city\, regional\, and national planning and shape novel projects across urban\, suburban\, and rural borders. San Francisco’s rebuilding galvanized far-reaching critiques of the inequitable competition for scarce urban land\, and propelled debates over responsible public land stewardship. Isenberg challenges many truisms of this renewal era–especially the presumed male domination of postwar urban design\, showing how women collaborated in city building long before feminism’s impact in the 1970s.\n\n\nAn evocative portrait of one of the world’s great cities\, Designing San Francisco provides a new paradigm for understanding past and present struggles to define the urban future.

SUMMARY:Ryan Gattis
DESCRIPTION:reading from his new novel \nSafe \npublished by MCD/Farrar\, Straus and Giroux \nRyan Gattis’ gritty\, fast-paced thriller\, Safe\, hurtles readers toward a shocking conclusion that asks the toughest question of all: how far would you go to protect the ones you love? \nRicky ‘Ghost’ Mendoza\, Jr. is trying to be good. In recovery and working as a freelance safecracker for the DEA\, the FBI\, and any other government agency willing to pay him\, Ghost is determined to live clean for the rest of his days. And maybe he could\, if the most important person in his life hadn’t gotten into serious financial trouble. To fix it\, all Ghost has to do is crack a safe and steal drug money from under the noses of the gangs and the Feds without getting caught. Or killed. \nRudy ‘Glasses’ Reyes runs drugs and cleans up messes for the baddest of bad men. When Ghost hits one of his safes\, Glasses must hunt him down or be held accountable. But Glasses is worried about more than just money. The heist puts everything in his life at risk—his livelihood\, his freedom\, even his family. \nRyan Gattis is the author of Kung Fu High School and All Involved\, a novel about the 1992 L.A. riots. He lives in Los Angeles.
