Review by Booklist Review

Ages 16-adult. New York travelers will admire both these programs. Congenial Jack Perkins hosts Modern Marvels: Empire State Building, which celebrates the history, design, and construction of the venerable 102-story Empire State Building, completed in 1931. Historic footage of the building's design and construction, as well as comments from a worker and an original tenant, add personality to this illuminating look at a New York landmark. Brash, cosmopolitan New York City is favorably viewed in the next title. Aerial shots of looming skyscrapers woven with quick descriptive views of ethnic neighborhoods, museums, theaters, elegant hotels, well-known shops, and parks elevate the Big Apple to new heights for both visitors and locals. --Sue-Ellen Beauregard
