A friend of mine is starting a project that will show photos (and paintings, watercolors, etc. ) of various intersections in New York (not just Manhattan) at 10-year intervals of history when possible to show the evolution of the city. Right now he's amassed a lot about King's Bridge. The project is really coming along well - I'll let you know when he posts things publicly.

I will definitely have to put the Shorto and Rosen books in my cart at amazon.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
