摘要

Since its first appearance in 1995 Jackson's The Encyclopedia of New York City has become a famous book. But why have the editor chosen to give us a second edition so soon? They explain their reasons in the preface. First, rapid change: the destruction of the World Trade Centre and Giuliani's mayoralty are just two examples; second, the growth of the city - an extra million people since the early 1990s; third, new knowledge which has made it necessary to add hundreds of new entries and update thousands more. In a city as dynamic as New York, eight million people make a lot to talk about in 15 years. In America as a whole, New York has never quite achieved the same pre-eminence as London has in the UK or Paris in France. But it certainly claims to be the top dog when set against Chicago and Los Angeles. After a period of decline in the 1970s, it has been growing for the past 30 years.
