In 1969, an icebreaking tanker, the SS Manhattan, was commissioned by Humble Oil to transit the Northwest Passage in order to test the logistical and economic feasibility of an all-marine transportation system for Alaska North Slope crude oil. Proposed as an alternative to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, the Manhattan made two voyages to the North American Arctic and collected volumes of scientific data on ice conditions and the behavior of ships in ice. Although the Manhattan successfully navigated the Northwest Passage—closing a five-hundred-year chapter of Arctic exploration by becoming the first commercial vessel to do so—the expedition ultimately demonstrated the impracticality of moving crude oil using icebreaking ships. Breaking Ice for Arctic Oil details this historic voyage, establishing its significant impact on the future of marine traffic and resource development in the Arctic and setting the stage for the current oil crisis.
They call it the “Manhattan Miracle.” Half a century after the buildings of New York City sank beneath the rising seas, human ingenuity raises them up again, and the city is finally returning to prosperity... or is it? The economy might be revitalized, but Mayor Sophia Ramos knows that the Miracle is only a stopgap solution. Crippling debt and a surge in crime from the Boroughs threatens to sink the city as surely as the waves did, and to Mayor Ramos, only an even more radical idea is the solution. As Manhattan’s elite are targeted by a vast underground criminal empire, however, the city threatens to fall apart before she can enact its daring rescue. A world-famous gonzo journalist, an engineer who helped bring about the Miracle, and the chief of police butt heads over the mayor's solution. Meanwhile, two Boroughs cops fighting with their own demons and city-wide apathy for their home struggle to bring order into a place rapidly falling under martial law. In the end, who will stand atop America's tallest buildings?
In Volume II of her ambitious 1909 history of New York City, Van Rensselaer picks up in 1664 during the reconstruction of New Netherland following its loss to England and goes on to chart the city's changing character as the Dutch and English vie for political and cultural influence. Growing by fits and starts, this city of only several thousand people is revealed in all its awkward infancy, from its early revolts and uprisings through its command by the militia in 1689-1691. This is a fascinating and detailed account, perfect for students, historians, and anyone with an interest in pre-Revolutionary New York. Devoted to the study of art and architecture, American author MARIANA GRISWOLD VAN RENSSELAER (1851-1934) was born in New York City and was an honorary member of the American Institute of Architects. In a rare accomplishment for a woman at the time, she received a doctorate of literature from Columbia University in 1910. Her other books include English Cathedrals, Art Out of Doors, and One Man Who Was Content.
