{"product_id":"habitats-9780814771549","title":"Habitats","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere  may be eight million stories in the Naked City, but there are also  nearly three million dwelling places, ranging from Park Avenue palaces  to Dickensian garrets and encompassing much in between. The doorways to  these residences are tantalizing portals opening onto largely invisible  lives.  Habitats offers 40 vivid and intimate stories about how  New Yorkers really live in their brownstones, their apartments, their  mansions, their lofts, and as a whole presents a rich, multi-textured  portrait of what it means to make a home in the world’s most varied and  powerful city. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese essays, expanded versions of  a selection of the Habitats column published in the Real Estate section  of The New York Times, take readers to both familiar and remote  sections of the city—to history-rich townhouses, to low-income housing  projects, to out-of-the-way places far from the beaten track, to every  corner of the five boroughs—and introduce them to a wide variety of  families and individuals who call New York home. These pieces reveal a  great deal about the city’s past and its rich store of historic  dwellings. Along with exploring the deep and even mystical connections  people feel to the place where they live, these pieces, taken as a  whole, offer a mosaic of domestic life in one of the world’s most  fascinating cities and a vivid portrait of the true meaning of home in  the 21st-century metropolis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Constance Rosenblum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48274145870075,"sku":"9780814771549","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_87013f65-d991-440e-9781-2f9c008dda88.jpg?v=1777609819","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/habitats-9780814771549","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
