Description

Offering a cross section of hidden infrastructure, this title uses innovative graphic images and clear text explanations to answer questions about the way things work in a modern city.
A fascinating guided tour of the ways things work in a modern city
Have you ever wondered how the water in your faucet gets there? Where your garbage goes? What the pipes under city streets do? How bananas from Ecuador get to your local market? Why radiators in apartment buildings clang? Using New York City as its point of reference, "The Works" takes readers down manholes and behind the scenes to explain exactly how an urban infrastructure operates. Deftly weaving text and graphics, author Kate Ascher explores the systems that manage water, traffic, sewage and garbage, subways, electricity, mail, and much more. Full of fascinating facts and anecdotes, "The Works" gives readers a unique glimpse at what lies behind and beneath urban life in the twenty-first century.
