Un texte de l’historien de l'architecture, John Tauranac, dévoile les charmes et secrets architecturaux que renferme chacun de ces ouvrages d’art. La ville a perdu, en septembre 2001, ses deux plus hauts buildings et a ainsi vu son visage métamorphosé. Pourtant les photographies de Yann Arthus-Bertrand (prises en novembre 2009, janvier et mai 2010) présentent une mégalopole qui n’aspire qu’à rebondir et qui ne cesse de se transformer, de nous étonner et de nous faire rêver.

Summary:
Tour guides are a vital part of New York's raucous sidewalk culture, and, as "The Tour Guide" reveals, the tours they offer are as fascinatingly diverse - and eccentric - as the city itself. Visitors can take tours that cover Manhattan before the arrival of European settlers, the nineteenth-century Irish gangs of Five Points, the culinary traditions of Queens, the culture of Harlem, or even the surveillance cameras of Chelsea - in short, there are tours to satisfy anyone's curiosity about the city's past or present. And the guides are as intriguing as the subjects, we learn, as Jonathan R. Wynn explores the lives of the people behind the tours, introducing us to office workers looking for a diversion from their desk jobs, unemployed actors honing their vocal skills, and struggling retirees searching for a second calling. Matching years of research with his own experiences as a guide, Wynn also lays bare the grueling process of acquiring an official license and offers a how-to guide to designing and leading a tour.
