Résumé:
As a native New Yorker with a lifelong curiosity about urban infrastructure, photographer Stanley Greenberg observes characteristics of the city that most people miss. And the more he explores the city, the more he understands it as a huge catalog of features that repeat, vary, morph, and multiply - block by block, neighborhood by neighborhood. Alleys, skybridges, parking sheds, architectural relics, tiny streets, water infrastructure — these and more were captured to create a visual chronicle of the city.

Résumé:
New York-based photographer Stanley Greenberg has long entranced viewers with black-and-white photographs that provide unparalleled access to objects and places ordinary people might otherwise never see--from New York's century-old water system to the hidden infrastructure of some of the world's most impressive architectural works. In his new book, Greenberg trains his lens on the unfailingly strange world of nuclear and particle physics. From Fermilab to neutrino hunting in Antarctica to ongoing attempts to re-create the conditions of the Big Bang using the world's largest atom smasher in Switzerland, Greenberg has over the course of five years traveled to--and photographed--many of the most important experiments in modern physics.

In Architecture under Construction, photographer Stanley Greenberg explores the anatomy and engineering of some of our most unusual new buildings, helping us to understand our own fascination with what makes buildings stand up, and what makes them fall down. Framed by a historical and critical essay by Joseph Rosam, the eighty images collected focus on some of the most high-profile design projects of the past decade, including buildings designed by Norman Foster, Frank Gehry, Steven Holl, Daniel Libeskind, Thom Mayne, and Renzo Piano, among others.

Résumé:
New York’s water system is staggering – it provides 1.3 billion gallons of water a day to over 9 million people from 200 square miles of watershed. Its aqueducts, reservoirs, tunnels, gatehouses, and tanks have been continually under construction since the 1830s, and its current – and largest – tunnel project will not be completed until 2020. But more significantly, New York’s water system is also sublime – from its acres of bucolic land to its glimmering steel mechanizations, "Waterworks" captures the beauty and mystery of the system that is so essential to so many. Photographer Stanley Greenberg began photographing these spectacular sites in 1992 after years of petitioning the authorities to gain access to them. Since then he has traveled to places as varied as dams in remote regions of upstate New York and tunnels 800 feet below the streets of Brooklyn. He finished his shooting in the spring of 2001, just before the events of 9/11 closed most of these sites to all access. In "Waterworks", Greenberg reveals the now hidden liquid city in stunning duotones. An introduction by Matthew Gandy covers the history, technology, and culture of the system.

Résumé:
Frederick Law Olmsted (1822–1903) is considered the father of landscape architecture in the United States for his creation of several renowned urban parks and park systems around the country. Whether in Central Park in New York, the Emerald Necklace in Boston, or the park systems of Chicago, Milwaukee, Buffalo, Rochester, and Louisville—trees are essential elements of all of Olmsted’s park designs. Through Stanley Greenberg’s stunning series of black and white photographs of the trees that date to the beginnings of these parks, this volume offers an intimate encounter with Olmsted, his motifs, and his heritage. Three essays by renowned experts on history, sociology, and landscape architecture complement the narrative and present an interdisciplinary vision of Olmsted’s achievement.
