At age eleven, Rosie Lepidus's main concerns are winning ring-a-levio, going to school, and staying out of trouble. But when Mama falls ill with pneumonia and Papa throws all the family's savings into the nickelodeon business, the burden of caring for her family falls on Rosie's shoulders.Tall for her age, Rosie is able to pass for sixteen and take Mama's place sewing sleeves at a shirtwaist factory. Her family needs the money. But working conditions are horrible and the factory boss is incredibly strict. The girls are fined for nearly everything -- even talking or humming! Within days of starting work, Rosie hears the buzz about a huge strike of twenty thousand shirtwaist workers. It's the strike that Mama's been working toward for ages: a huge push for change in the workplace. Rosie wants to join in, but as the streets become more dangerous, Papa asks his daughter to return to school. And Rosie must choose: follow Papa's orders...or fight with everything she's got.

From the Bronx to the Battery and beyond, New York is a wonderful town--and one that was centuries in the making. With the Statue of Liberty raising her torch high, it became the shining symbol of a promised land for immigrants throughout the world. Follow the city's growth, and look at her buildings old and new, from Trinity Church to today's glass and steel skyscrapers. The trip passes through Ellis Island, first stop for many new Americans; Battery Park City, where Castle Clinton still stands; Hester Street, once filled with peddlers selling their wares; the original and new Penn Stations and Madison Square Gardens; and more. Sidebars look in depth at such New York attractions as the subway.

Können Sie sich mit Erinnerungen ausweisen!?Eins vorneweg: dies ist nur ein fiktiver Pass. Gerade den nordamerikanischen Einreisebehörden sollte man dieses Dokument bei der Ankunft in den Staaten vielleicht nicht gerade unter die Nase halten. Aber spätestens bei der Ausreise können Sie dann in einer Vielzahl von Erinnerungen schwelgen, die Sie bis dahin fein säuberlich auf den sich dafür anbietenden 128 Seien notiert haben. Und auf Eigenverlangen dem Ausreisebeamten dann gern ein paar Annekdoten zum Vorlesen anbieten. Den Charme eines echten Reisepasses haben Sie mit diesem Notizbuch aber allemal.Die Außenhülle vermittelt die Haptik eines Originals und auch die ersten Seiten muten nach einem offiziellen Dokument an, können Sie doch dort, wie in einem 'richtigen' Pass auch, Ihre persönlichen Daten eingeben, ein Foto - hier ist Biometrie gottlob nicht vorgeschrieben - einkleben und mit einem Stempel Ihrer Wahl abstempeln. Alle anderen Seiten des Reisepass-Notizbuches sind mit einem (gedruckten) Wasserzeichen der Freiheitsstatue versehen. Die rechte Seite ist jeweils liniert, die linke unliniert.

Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 26. Chapters: Pennsylvania Station, Grand Central Terminal, Hoboken Terminal, Pavonia Terminal, Jamaica, Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal, Atlantic Terminal, Long Island City, Railroad terminals serving New York City. Excerpt: Pennsylvania Station-commonly known as Penn Station-is the major intercity train station and a major commuter rail hub in New York City. It is one of the busiest rail stations in the world, and a hub for inbound and outbound railroad traffic in New York City. The New York City Subway system also has multiple lines that connect to the station. The station is in the underground levels of Pennsylvania Plaza, an urban complex between Seventh Avenue and Eighth Avenue and between 31st Street and 33rd Street in Midtown Manhattan, and is owned by Amtrak. Serving 300,000 passengers a day (compared to 140,000 across town at Grand Central Terminal) at a rate of up to a thousand every 90 seconds, it is the busiest passenger transportation facility in the United States and by far the busiest train station in North America. Penn Station is at the center of the Northeast Corridor, an electrified passenger rail line extending south to Washington, D.C., and north to Boston. Intercity trains are operated by Amtrak, while commuter rail services are operated by the Long Island Rail Road and New Jersey Transit. The station is also served by six New York City Subway routes. Penn Station saw 8.4 million Amtrak passenger arrivals and departures in 2010, about double the traffic at the next busiest station, Union Station in Washington, D.C. Penn Station's assigned IATA airport code is ZYP. Its Amtrak and NJ Transit station code is NYP. ClubAcela is a private lounge located on the Amtrak concourse (8th Avenue side of the station). Prior to December 2000 it was known as the Metropolitan Lounge. Guests are provided with comfortable seating, complimentary non-alcoholic beverages, newspapers, television sets and a conference room. Access to ClubAcela is restricted to the following passe

The city is winched along a track through a devastated land full of hostile tribes. Tracks must be freshly laid ahead of the city and carefully removed in its wake. Rivers and mountains present nearly insurmountable challenges to the ingenuity of the city's engineers. But if the city does not move, it will fall farther and farther behind the "optimum," slipping into the crushing gravitational field that has transformed life on earth. The only alternative to the city's forward progress is death. The secret directorate that governs the city makes sure that its inhabitants know nothing of this. Raised in common in creches, nurtured on synthetic food, prevented above all from venturing outside the closed circuit of the city, they are carefully sheltered from the dire necessities that have come to define human existence. And yet, for all that, the city is in crisis. The people are growing restive, the population is dwindling, and the rulers know that, for all their efforts, slowly but surely the city is slipping ever farther behind the optimum. Helward Mann is a member of the city's elite. Better than anyone, he knows the risks the city runs, how tenuous is its continued existence, how essential it is that discipline be maintained. And yet, as he is about to discover, the world is even stranger than he dreamed. Christopher Priest's "The Inverted World" is a meticulously imagined, deeply disconcerting vision of an alternate reality that lights up not only the dreams that sustain what passes for reality but the alien essence of the human.
