Robert Moses and the Modern City: The Transformation of New York Book

I finally threw in the towel on this one. I'm a patient man with not much else going on, but to sit there and read the Encyclopedia Britannica of Moses pools and Moses beaches when you're not a resident of "The City" and couldn't care less about aquatic leisure, chlorine, nor sunburns is simply insane. This being said, I did enjoy the essays. Expecting something of a revisionist rebuttal to the Caro book (after visiting only the Queens venue of the three-part exhibit where the only text to be found was way up high on a random wall - a quote/sentence that seemed most misleading if you've read The Power Broker), most of the essays present balanced views and in some cases even unveil negative Moses stuff that Caro overlooked (see especially Martha Biondi's contribution). These are worth the read, but the concluding 170 pages, as my friend Sean would say, should be "used" [for quick, specific reference or research purposes] rather than read.
