Steinmetz George New York Air. The View from Above
For New York Air, George Steinmetz, the superb aerial photographer of the Earth's remote and exotic regions, turns his camera on one of its most dynamic cities. New York City, with its iconic skyline; its mix of modern architecture and historic buildings; its rivers and islands; its infrastructure of roads and bridges; and its rooftops used for every possible purpose, is his magnificent subject-the great stage for twenty-first century life. Shooting from a small helicopter in all seasons and from dawn to dusk, Steinmetz captures both the brute physical presence and the romance of the metropolis. Included are the classic sites like Central Park and Times Square, important new projects like the Highline and the September 11 Memorial, wide coverage of both Manhattan and the other boroughs and all kinds of urban spaces, from museums to sports arenas to beaches. But what particularly distinguishes the photography is that it portrays the city at all scales and often reveals people at play, at rest, and at work.

The author of the New York Times bestselling phenomenon Crazy Rich Asians takes you from Capri to NYC, where Lucie Tang Churchill finds herself torn between two men-and two very different cultures. On her very first morning on the jewel-like island of Capri, Lucie Churchill sets eyes on George Zao and she instantly can't stand him. She can't stand it when he gallantly offers to trade hotel rooms with her so that she can have a view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, she can't stand that he knows more about Casa Malaparte than she does, and she really can't stand it when he kisses her in the darkness of the ancient ruins of a Roman villa and they are caught by her snobbish, disapproving cousin Charlotte. The daughter of an American-born Chinese mother and a blue-blooded New York father, Lucie has always sublimated the Asian side of herself in favor of the white side, and she adamantly denies having feelings for George. But several years later, when George unexpectedly appears in East Hampton, where Lucie is weekending with her new fiance, Lucie finds herself drawn to George again. Soon, Lucie is spinning a web of deceit that involves her family, her fiance, the co-op board of her Fifth Avenue apartment building, and, ultimately, herself as she tries mightily to deny George entry into her world-and her heart. Moving between summer playgrounds of privilege, peppered with decadent food and extravagant fashion, Sex and Vanity is a truly modern love story, a daring homage to A Room with a View, and a brilliantly funny comedy of manners set between two cultures.
