Download or read book Fresh Meadows written by Fred Cantor. This book was released on 2011. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Located in northeast Queens, Fresh Meadows grew up around a housing development of the same name, built for World War II veterans. The site plan for the development not only provided an array of green open space, but it also enabled residents to enjoy a variety of services within walking distance. The development became the centerpiece of a brand-new neighborhood, which had been the site of a country club and farmland. In 1949, renowned urban and architecture critic Lewis Mumford hailed the Fresh Meadows housing development as "perhaps the most positive and exhilarating example of large-scale community planning in this country." Fresh Meadows captures the optimism of the postwar era by illustrating how middle-class families thrived in an environment that combined the best aspects of urban and suburban living.

Book Synopsis Fred from Fresh Meadows by : Fred Cantor

Download or read book Fred from Fresh Meadows written by Fred Cantor. This book was released on 2020-11-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet FRED FROM FRESH MEADOWS. As a kid, Fred was at Madison Square Garden for the "Here Comes Willis!" game--that is, the one where Willis Reed got stuck in traffic and didn't show up 'til the second quarter. In high school, he stayed up late the night before the SATs because of a big Knicks game on the West Coast; in law school, he chose where to live on the basis of which neighborhood had a cable TV package with Knicks telecasts; and, as a (in theory) mature adult, settled on an apartment in Manhattan based, in part, on proximity to Madison Square Garden. Along the way, Fred might have inadvertently caused Jerry Lucas to have one of the worst shooting nights of his playoff career, had the great pleasure of driving with Earl Monroe to a business meeting, sued Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to get revenge for Knicks fans, and was thanked by Tyson Chandler on Twitter for a song he co-wrote: "The Minister of D." (Actually, the part about the lawsuit is only half-true, although he did bring a fascinating legal action against Kareem.) In short, Fred is representative of your ordinary irrational Knicks fan--and FRED FROM FRESH MEADOWS: A Knicks Memoir is his (hopefully colorful) story covering six decades.

Book Synopsis Meadows by : Christopher Lloyd

Download or read book Meadows written by Christopher Lloyd. This book was released on 2006-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At some point in their life, everyone has caught sight of a breathtaking meadow of grasses and wildflowers. The amazing community created by flowers and grasses, butterflies, grasshoppers and other fauna is rich and colourful. No wonder then, with the biodiversity of our countryside fast disappearing, that meadow gardening has become fashionable again. In this definitive guide, Christopher Lloyd covers all aspects of the topic - from the romantic concept of the Swiss Alpine meadow and the man-made prairies of the USA to Dutch and German approaches to naturalistic plantings and the wildflowers of South Africa. Full of practical information, Lloyd explores the development and management of established meadow areas, ways of starting from scratch in a garden setting and the hundreds of beautiful grasses, bulbs and colourful perennials that thrive in different conditions. Meadows is packed with all the information necessary for creating and maintaining your meadow.

Book Synopsis Andrew Henry's Meadow by : Doris Burn

Download or read book Andrew Henry's Meadow written by Doris Burn. This book was released on 2012-07-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic reissued for a new generation Andrew Henry has two younger brothers, who are always together, and two older sisters, who are always together. But Andrew Henry is in the middle--and he's always with himself. He doesn't mind this very much, because he's an inventor. But when Andrew Henry's family doesn't appreciate him or his inventions, he decides it's time to run away. Many children in the neighborhood feel the same way and follow him to his meadow, where he builds each of his friends a unique house of their very own. But in town the families miss their children and do everything they can to find them. And the kids realize that it feels a little lonely out in the meadow without their parents. Just as relevant today as it was in 1967, this is a heart-warming story about children who want to feel special and appreciated for who they are. With a new jacket and expanded trim size, Andrew Henry is ready to enchant the next generation of kids.
