  1. Names of New York: Discovering the City's Past, Present, and Future Through Its Place- Names A casually wondrous experience it made me feel like the city was unfolding beneath my feet.&#8221nbsp&#8212Ji Tolentino, author of&nbspTrik MirrorIn place-names lie stories.&nbspTha&#8217sthe truth that animates this fascinating journey through the names of New York City&#8217sstreets and parks, boroughs and bridges, playgrounds and neighborhoods.Exploring the power of naming to shape experience and our sense of place, Joshua Jelly-Schapiro traces the ways in which native Lenape, Dutch settlers, British invaders, and successive waves of immigrants have left their marks on the city&#8217smap. He excavates the roots of many names, from Brooklyn to Harlem, that have gained iconic meaning worldwide. He interviews the last living speakers of Lenape, visits the harbor&#8217sforgotten islands, lingers on street corners named for ballplayers and saints, and meets linguists who study the estimated eight hundred languages now spoken in New York.As recent arrivals continue to find new ways to make New York&#8217sneighborhoods their own, the names that stick to the city&#8217sstreets function not only as portals to explore the past but also as a means to reimagine what is possible now.
