From Publishers Weekly
Bacteria preceded human life by millions of years but will they also outlive us? Shnayerson, a staff writer at Vanity Fair magazine, and Plotkin, an ethnobotanist, paint an alarming picture of the crisis posed by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. They focus on the three most common types: enterococci, streptococci and staphylococci. They tell of the deadly S. aureus a particularly virulent strain of staph that has shown up in deadly resistant strains and the infamous "flesh-eating bacteria" (necrotizing fascitis), whose incidence has been on the rise. They explain the myriad factors that have contributed to antibiotic-resistant bacteria and disease, most important among them the overprescription and misuse of the drugs, including the antibiotics fed to livestock to promote growth. Sharing the latest research, the authors suggest that future antibiotics are in the most unlikely places, from shark-bellies and silkmoths to the saliva of the Indonesian Komodo dragon. Shnayerson and Plotkin write in a lively, journalistic style and spotlight many victims, microbiologists and other "faces" behind the statistics, going far to make the copious scientific information accessible to general readers (though some may still be daunted). Yet their alarmist tone may strike many readers as overly sensationalistic and grating. Moreover, many of the facts about antibiotics abuse and drug-resistant bacteria are simply old news, and this book may not drum up much interest in spite of its informative analysis.

From Library Journal
At first glance, Shnayerson, a Vanity Fair staff writer, and noted ethnobotanist Plotkin (Tales of a Shaman's Apprentice) seem an unlikely pair to be writing a book about antibiotic resistance. Yet the reader quickly becomes engrossed in their tale. The authors provide an extremely readable look at the overuse of antibiotics, the methods bacteria use to develop resistance, the role of antibiotics as animal growth promoters, and the outlook for antibiotics. Drawing on a vast number of interviews with key people in the field, Shnayerson and Plotkin have managed to demonstrate their concern over the future of antibiotics while keeping the scientific background manageable for lay readers. A brief, annotated bibliography and list of web sites adds to the work. An interesting complement to Gerald Grob's The Deadly Truth, which discusses the inevitability of disease, this work also offers readers a riveting update to the section on antibiotics in Laurie Garrett's The Coming Plague. Recommended for public and academic collections.

From Scientific American
Commenting in 1969 on the success of antibiotics, U.S. Surgeon General William Stewart declared: "We can close the books on infectious diseases." Commenting three decades later on the rapid spread of bacterial resistance to antibiotics, U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher declared: "We are seeing a global resurgence of infectious diseases." Shnayerson and Plotkin (respectively, a staff writer at Vanity Fair and an ethnobotanist serving as president of the Amazon Conservation Team) recount what brought about the resurgence: "The principal cause was overuse--and misuse--of antibiotics." Poor infection control in hospitals and nursing homes is a contributing factor. Is there a way of stopping the march of the bugs? Maybe. The authors explore several possibilities but stop short of predicting that any of them will succeed.

The frightening return of infectious disease
By Dennis Littrell
This book is scary. According to ethnobotanist Mark J. Plotkin and longtime Vanity Fair contributing editor Michael Shnayerson, the golden age of antibiotics that began with penicillin, a time when it was generally thought that infectious diseases were under control and largely a menace of the past, is over. Our naivete and our arrogance in imagining that we had just about defeated the bugs and could move on to other more pressing public health concerns came to an end in the nineties as one after another of the major human borne bacteria became resistant to our drugs. Through the exchange of DNA, that immunity has been transferred to other bacteria so that, as this book went to press just a few months ago, infectious diseases caused by bacteria are once again a major threat to humans everywhere in the world.
What happened? As the authors explain there are three main problems, (1) the overuse of antibiotics by the medical profession, (2) the misuse of antibiotics as growth enhancers in the meat and poultry industry, and (3) the failure of hospital personnel to follow CDC guidelines on hygiene, especially simply washing their hands.
(1) Too many doctors, either through ignorance or a desire to please their demanding patients, have over-prescribed antibiotics for routine infections, and in some cases actually prescribed antibiotics for viral infections (for which they are useless) "just in case" the patient also gets a bacterial infection. The result of this massive overuse of antibiotics is to give the bugs countless trillions of generational opportunities to evolve defenses against the antibiotic, leading to the antibiotic becoming useless.
(2) Tons of antibiotics--"24.6 million pounds a year," see p. 123--are routinely added to animal feed by the meat and poultry industry to promote growth so that their products will get fatter faster. What has happened is that the bugs have grown resistant to the antibiotics while transferring that immunity to bacteria living in, on and around humans. Even the use of an "analogue" antibiotic such as growth promoter virginiamycin can promote changes in bacteria that make them resistant to the antibiotic Synercid (e.g., see pages 115, 119 and 285). As the authors chronicle, this is a serious problem fraught with angry political battles as the meat and poultry people fight to maintain their profit margins while the disease control people fight to restrict the use of growth promoters.
(3) Surprisingly enough the authors report (see page 282 and elsewhere) that there is cynicism among some hospital personnel about the effectiveness of washing their hands and a belief that hygiene won't stop the proliferation of the bugs. The result is that hospitals have become very dangerous places. Most of the drug-resistant bacteria developed their resistance in hospitals. Most (or all) of them are endemic to the hospital environment. If you have to go to a hospital for any reason you are taking a chance of contacting a drug-resistant bug. Heaven help you if you have a compromised immune system, or if you are an infant or an elderly person.
How bad is the situation? According to the authors on pages 278-279 the high cost of developing new drugs (average "$802 million") and the fact that "return on investment from producing an antibiotic that might be used by a patient for less than a week versus return from a drug for a chronic condition that a patient might take daily for fifty years" is persuading big pharma to downsize the antibiotic end of the business. (See also page 94.) The authors ask the question, where are new drugs coming from? and answer that the "great glittering prospect was genomics." But "reality" has "sunk in." (p. 280) Drugs to fight bacteria developed from DNA manipulation "might take even longer to reach the market" than those previously developed. (p. 281)
The authors also touch on the possible use of drug-resistant bacteria as a bioterrorist weapon.

What does all this mean for you and me? It means that should we or our loved ones get a life-threatening bacterial infection, it's possible there won't be an antibiotic around that works. In effect, we might find ourselves back in the days before penicillin (the first really effective antibiotic, and one of the greatest of all medical miracles) when millions of people routinely died from staph, strep, TB and other bacterial infections. As Shnayerson and Plotkin report, right now there are strains of bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus (the golden-globed bacteria pictured on the cover), Streptococcus pneumoniae, and the Mycobacterium that causes tuberculosis, that are immune to almost every antibiotic in use. There is even a strain of Enterococcus that is resistant to every antibiotic in use.
The authors do offer some hope. They report on the promising use of bacteriophages (viruses that invade and destroy bacteria)--see the very interesting Chapter 14, "Bacteria Busters." They present the idea of a more vigorously controlled use of antibiotics. If we prohibit their use as growth promoters and use them sparingly in an ordered sequence, perhaps bacteria would not have time to gain immunity and/or would lose it after the antibiotic is no longer in use. As pointed out on e.g., page 183, resistant bacteria are "encumbered" by an "extra chunk of DNA" that gives their non-resistant brethren an "ecological advantage" in an environment that doesn't contain the antibiotic. Additionally, the authors report the theory of population biologist Richard Levins who believes that if antibiotics are "saved for the most severe cases...then natural selection would favor the pathogens that produced the milder symptoms." (Explained on page 287).
Bottom line: this is a fascinating, scary and state of the art report on the pathogen wars written in a readable manner sure to interest not only the general public at which it is aimed but professionals as well.

Stephen King...stand aside! Reality is scarier...
By K. L Sadler
Excellent, excellent job done in research and writing by Shnayerson & Plotkin. If the reader is involved in science or public health, the 'news' in this book does not come as a surprise to anyone. It's been known for years among those in these communities that bacteria has been developing resistance to our antibiotics from day one. We get taught this if you work in a lab, because it becomes vitally important to keep everything absolutely sterile and clean. I know it is taught in medical school, but they don't emphasize this enough to medical students and doctors and nurses, because many doctors continue to dispense antibiotics like candy even though they have been warned and warned again by the Center for Disease Control and others.
For those who enjoy reading stuff like this to scare themselves...well, good luck. This is the stuff of nightmares, and if you spend a lot of your time worrying, I certainly wouldn't recommend you read this book. There is always hope, as the authors point out, that researchers will continue to find antibiotics that will temporarily restrain bacterial onslaught. However, be assured this hope has been relied upon in the past, and the bacteria always seem to find a way to mutate around medication, regardless of whether the antibiotics had an organic chemical basis or was a synthetic/man-made one, not seen in nature.
Most of the time, the people who pick up this type of book are already involved and concerned about this public health disaster-in-the-making. Yet these authors are trying to get this information out to the public, and write in such a way as to make this science knowledge understandable. The book starts out slowly, but picks up pace quickly. I had difficulty putting it down after the first couple of chapters. It is absolutely vital that the public be aware that responsibility for correct antibiotic use lies not just with the physicians, but with the patients and parents of patients who beg their doctors for antibiotics, when those antibiotics are not called for. As the authors bring up, most antibiotics given out by pediatricians are for ear infections (>60%). Yet often times those ear infections will go away on their own, with the antibiotics only minimalizing the length of time of the course of infection. Yet, all of us are guilty of expecting physicians to give us 'something' to make a cold or the flu 'go away'. Unfortunately, too often those illnesses are not caused by bacteria, but by viruses, and giving antibiotics in this manner just give bacteria an opportunity to switch genes around to build resistance. Same thing with not taking all of a prescription after the patient starts feeling better, or sharing medication not prescribed for others.
I hope this book is widely read. Maybe if enough consumers become concerned, we can put a stop to certain practices such as the use of antibiotics in animal feed as growth factors, regardless if they are known to be used for human consumption. The public needs to get more involved in their own medical care, and that means participating in governmental processes to fight against massive lobbying by pharmaceutical companies and livestock/meat companies and their lackeys, who often don't know and don't care about the possible consequences of their indiscriminate use of antibiotics.

This is an important book
By Robert Adler
This is a serious book about a very serious subject--the escalating arms race between humans and disease-causing microbes. The bad news is that we're losing, making the emergence of resistant disease causing bacteria "one of the greatest threats to the survival of the human species."
Co-written by Mark Plotkin, a leading ethnobotanist and Michael Schnayerson, a talented writer and editor, The Killers Within is a highly readable, often gripping narrative, full of stories, personalities and drama. At the same time, it presents a lot of the history, science and politics that surround the struggle of medical science to stay a step ahead of the deadly bugs that are proving remarkably adept at evolving ways to defeat our antibiotics.
The authors have no trouble identifying the culprits in this losing battle--an agricultural industry pouring millions of pounds of antibiotics into poultry and livestock as "growth promoters," doctors and patients who overuse antibiotics, and the interaction of profits and politics that determine what kinds of drugs reach the market and when. But behind these lies our naive blindness to the bacterial world's incredible capacity to defeat our most powerful weapons. Bacteria have multiple ways to evolve and swap handy genetic information, such as how to cleave penicillin molecules or pump antibiotics out of their cells. All it takes is one bacteria that survives an antibiotic by evolving a new resistance mechanism; within a few years even unrelated bacteria thousands of miles away will know the trick. It's as easy for the bacteria, the authors write, "as collecting charms on a charm bracelet."
The authors chillingly describe the costs of this war being fought out in our labs, hospitals and bodies--millions of illnesses, hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide, and the risk to all of us of returning to a world where we are no longer protected by antibiotics. Most of the major pathogens have already evolved multiple drug resistance. The very young and the very old are already dying from untreatable infections, but any one of us is now at risk that a cut, an accident, a minor surgery or a bout of flu can lead on to a raging infection by bacteria resistant to most if not all antibiotics.
The authors do hold out some hope. Perhaps phages, vaccines, or new generations of genetically engineered antimicrobial agents will once again tip the balance in our favor. But for now, expect to see more headlines about outbreaks of resistant strains of bacteria and to hear more horror stories from friends whose scratch or surgery turned into a life-threatening nightmare. This book will help you make sense of those events. Let's hope that the dedicated and farsighted researchers it depicts will eventually win the day.

Great Science with a Story
By K Coff
My four year old has so many dinosaur books, I really did not want to add another. But Monster Bones is the first one I have found that tells the story of how fossils are created. It has enough just enough science without dumbing it down. I really appreciate this book in contrast to the encyclopedic type books which are informative but get rather mundane reading pages of dinosaur description after dinosaur description.

Wonderful story with lots of facts
By Kari Sezonov
This book is my son's favorite. After checking it out over and over from the library we bought it. We read it every night. This tale of a dinosaur and how his body becomes fossils is wonderfully written. This book has lots of great information, but with a cute story!

If you want to know how you can help create a better world, read this book.

What if there were a way to prevent criminal behavior, mental illness, drug abuse, poverty, and violence? Written by behavioral scientist Tony Biglan, and based on his ongoing research at the Oregon Research Institute, The Nurture Effect offers evidence-based interventions that can prevent many of the psychological and behavioral problems that plague our society.

For decades, behavioral scientists have investigated the role our environment plays in shaping who we are, and their research shows that we now have the power within our own hands to reduce violence, improve cognitive development in our children, increase levels of education and income, and even prevent future criminal behaviors. By cultivating a positive environment in all aspects of society—from the home, to the classroom, and beyond—we can ensure that young people arrive at adulthood with the skills, interests, assets, and habits needed to live healthy, happy, and productive lives.

The Nurture Effect details over forty years of research in the behavioral sciences, as well as the author’s own research. Biglan illustrates how his findings lay the framework for a model of societal change that has the potential to reverberate through all environments within society.

Review
“What a wonderful and truly beneficial gift that Anthony Biglan has given us! Thought-provoking and inspirational, Biglan shares with us his wisdom and provides a compelling call to individuals, families, schools, communities, organizations, corporations, and policymakers to be part of creating nurturing environments. The Nurture Effect is a science-based prescription for creating a more health-enhancing society. Biglan concisely summarizes his hard-earned wisdom from a remarkable career as a clinician and scientist, his knowledge of diverse scientific fields, as well as his rich life experiences, including as husband, father, and grandfather. Transformative and practical, it provides a guide for the foundation of a more caring and health-promoting society.”
—Kelli A. Komro, PhD, professor of health outcomes and policy at the College of Medicine, associate director of the Institute for Child Health Policy, and Research Foundation Professor at the University of Florida

“Anthony Biglan’s vast intelligence and scientific experience are brought together in The Nurture Effect to provide a vision, a road map, and a sense of optimism about solving the very real social problems facing our country. Evidence-based behavioral programs and policies provide the basis for Anthony’s argument that greater attention to nurturing, as opposed to coercion—at home, in schools, with peer groups, within communities, and even as public policy—will lead to healthier and better-adjusted youth and adults. The book is critically important as we consider how we are raising the current and next generations, and can serve to guide discussions on next steps in science, policy, and practice.”
—Cheryl L. Perry, PhD, professor and regional dean at The University of Texas School of Public Health, Austin Regional Campus

“Anthony Biglan’s latest book The Nurture Effect is a powerful reminder of the transformational impact a nurturing environment has on individuals’ well-being throughout their lives. In documenting many carefully selected examples of evidence-based interventions from early childhood and through subsequent stages of development, it makes an outstanding contribution to the field of prevention science. Biglan makes a compelling case for widely implementing scientifically supported interventions that create nurturing environments in our homes, schools and communities. When individuals develop the social and emotional competencies they need to do well, their lives are permanently transformed. This book challenges policy makers, professionals, and the community at large to think well beyond individual benefit, and consider that behavioral science knowledge can apply to entire populations. I unreservedly endorse this excellent and timely contribution.”
—Matthew R. Sanders, PhD, professor of clinical psychology and director of the Parenting and Family Support Centre at the University of Queensland, as well as founder of the Triple P – Positive Parenting Program

“Read this book, please read this book! … The nurture effect impacts us daily in our health, intelligence, behavior, emotions, work, and relationships. The daily nurture effect even codes our gene expression—something my scientific colleagues and I only began to suspect one or two decades ago, but have proof of now. This book maps how we can intentionally nurture ourselves, our loved ones, our communities, and even our nations. All of this is based on rigorous practical science. If you want to improve the now and better the future, read this book and apply the nurture effect at home, at work or at school, and in your community.”
—Dennis D. Embry, PhD, president and senior scientist at PAXIS Institute

“The Nurture Effect is a remarkably ambitious book that draws the blueprints for creating prosocial communities aiming to help people live healthier, value-directed, and enjoyable lives. Biglan explains how people can work together to reduce suffering and improve quality of living for each other, and supports these plans with reliable behavioral research.  The science of this book is captivating because Biglan expresses the ideas in an understandable and practical manner.  In other words, he simplifies the science of human behavior so you can use it to improve your own community. The Nurture Effect hits the ground running with clear, concise, well-stated facts about creating a social context for people to experience a life well-lived. Throughout the book, Biglan expands these ideas into the different branches of community, such as family, schools, work, peer-relations, and discusses how—when approached appropriately—they can make lasting positive contributions to individuals. The perspectives you gain from this book will not only assist you in helping your community to become stronger and healthier, but will also help you as an individual to experience those same positive outcomes.”
—D.J. Moran, PhD, founder of Pickslyde Consulting and the MidAmerican Psychological Institute


“This marvelous book integrates the most compelling scientific knowledge about how we can improve the lives of citizens of this country with a bold call to action. Fundamentally, Anthony Biglan—a gifted and experienced behavioral scientist—challenges us to ask, ‘What kind of society do we want? How can we use what we know to create such a society?’ His central thesis is that widely implementing what we have learned over decades in developing programs that nurture children, adolescents, parents and adults in families, in schools, and in the larger society—which he calls a revolution in behavioral science—will make a huge difference.
 
The book contains highly practical, specific recommendations for families, practitioners, and policy makers. Biglan rightly recognizes that to significantly change society for the better, we must address larger social forces—for example, the negative effects of poverty and economic inequality, or of marketing tobacco and alcohol to youth. Eminently readable, this book comprehensively reviews evidence based on a lifetime of experience as a social scientist, and knits it together with a compelling agenda, that if enacted, could lead to a significant, positive transformation of our country.”
—William R. Beardslee, MD, director of the Baer Prevention Initiatives at Boston Children’s Hospital, and Gardner-Monks Professor of child psychiatry at Harvard Medical School


“The Nurture Effect is exciting because it is grounded in science but leads us well beyond the fragmented slivers in which scientific findings are often delivered.  Anthony Biglan persuades us that rather than focusing on preventing individual problems of family dysfunction, drug addiction, academic failure, child abuse, and even crime, we need to cut to the chase and attend to what all of these have in common. Biglan shows that poverty consistently makes it harder to help, and that nurture is so frequently missing. By integrating findings from the past fifty years in psychology, epidemiology, education, and neuroscience, he pulls out the common threads to show that it is possible to make families, schools, and the larger social context more nurturing, and ultimately to create the nurturing environments so vital to well-being and to preventing widespread harm.”
—Lisbeth B. Schorr, senior fellow at the Center for the Study of Social Policy, and coauthor of Within Our Reach


“This work is Anthony Biglan’s magnum opus. He has pulled together many ideas from multiple disciplinary domains. It is required reading for anyone who is serious about fixing the problems in our education system and alleviating poverty.  Anyone who liked David Brooks’ The Social Animal will also like this. Although Biglan is a self-identified and proud behaviorist, this work shows his openness to other perspectives. I was especially happy to see his new nuanced view of the role of reinforcement in human behavior (pages 28-29). Intrinsic motivation is more powerful in the long term than extrinsic motivation.”
—Brian R. Flay, DPhil, professor of social and behavioral health sciences at Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR, and emeritus distinguished professor of public health and psychology at University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL

“The author’s engaging writing style enables readers to appreciate the elegance of applying knowledge based on rigorous research to develop and apply evidence-based interventions that prevent problems and promote well-being on a societal scale.”
—Marion S. Forgatch, PhD, senior scientist emerita at the Oregon Social Learning Center (OSLC), where she developed and tested programs for families with children at risk or referred for child adjustment problems and substance abuse


“The Nurture Effect is one of those rare books that draws from a lifetime of careful scientific study to provide clear prescriptions—in language non-scientists can understand—about how to make our world a better place. Pushing back against contemporary fatalism, Anthony Biglan shows us that we know more than ever about how to promote human flourishing. The problem is that we’re not applying this knowledge as we should. The Nurture Effect explains how we could change that, and, even more important, how you can help make the change happen.” 
—Jacob S. Hacker, PhD, Stanley B. Resor Professor of political science, director at the Institution for Social and Policy Studies, and coauthor of Winner-Take-All Politics

Science in Action
By Denni Launse
In the field of Prevention Science, Dr. Tony Biglan has been a household name for decades. His work has impacted many policies (in particular, tobacco legislation) and has been instrumental in raising the bar for what constitutes an evidence-based intervention. In recent years, Dr. Biglan has helped to define the core principles and practices underlying effectiveness of interventions designed to prevent behavioral problems. He has established that similar influences in our social environment contribute to a whole range of social ills, from risky behaviors (e.g., drug abuse, violence, school drop out, teen pregnancy) to medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, cancer). These ills span all social boundaries but are particularly prevalent in lower income areas where environmental conditions tend to be essentially unhealthy, both from a psychological and physical standpoint. This book brings it all together in a way that is understandable and will be compelling to public and private sectors, broadly. Dr. Biglan translates scientific findings from many disciplines to shed light on the role of these prevailing conditions in behavioral and physical health problems, but goes many steps further. He outlines ways in which we, as individuals and professionals and as a society, can make a difference in the lives of children, teens and families to improve their chances for successful lives. These same principles can be applied to build communities and government agencies that are responsive to the science by systematically focusing on ameliorating those conditions that so negatively impact all our lives. In outlining the research, guiding principles and specific recommendations, this book is a must-read for all, regardless of one's station in life. It will propel the reader into action and make each of us aware of both the small and large things that we do every day that can make a difference in other's lives. It will also incite the development of large-scale practices and policies that have potential to positively influence outcomes on a population level. I strongly recommend this book for all our sakes but most especially, for those most vulnerable.

A blueprint for compassionate change
By Progressive
Tony Biglan has been a bold and daring thinker for the past 40 years. This book reflects his optimism and determination to help improve the lives of all citizens in this country. Tempered by hard data from emerging fields of the behavioral sciences and evolutionary biology, this book offers a blueprint to achieve meaningful change for families, our public school systems, our public health practices, and our social policies. It is at once a critique of our culture, and a loving, compassionate, science-driven road map to help our country choose a path of caring and wisdom. This book will benefit parents, teachers, health care professionals, policy makers at all levels of government, and corporate leaders.

Great book
By Michael H
This book summarizes a wide-ranging research literature on what practices and policies are nurtuing and non-nurturing (coercive) to people. An inspiring and informative book.

Only a handful of transit workers, daring explorers and graffiti writers have experienced the full scope of the New York subway system. Beneath The Streets reveals this world for the first time with fantastic photographs captured from throughout the tunnels and byways of the subway. Although it provides service to over 5 million riders every day, the subway is for most a sealed system. Very few of its patrons are aware of the extent of this vast underground infrastructure. The authors of this important historical work first discovered this hidden world in the process of photographing graffiti found below ground in the subway system. Now their riveting documentary work opens up this subterranean maze, including 600 miles of active track as well as abandoned sections and disused stations, for all to experience.

IT WAS LIKE A TRIP THROUGH NEW YORK CITY'S SUBWAY TUNNELS!
By Kimmy Kay
When I was a little girl growing up in Cleveland, my mother and my aunt occasionally took me with them on rapid train rides downtown to do some shopping. As we prepared to head back home, we waited for our rapid train on the EASTBOUND platform. While waiting for the train, I used to observe downtown's short tunnel, the few railroad tracks that were there, and the train signals. I found the tunnel to be very eerie and spooky, but fascinating at the same time.

Recently, I looked through a couple of books which dealt with New York City's Grand Central Station. Both books contained brief information and a few pictures of NYC's train tunnels. So, I wondered if there were other books out there which dealt specifically with the underground train tunnels in the Big Apple.

I browsed AMAZON's website and came across a new book titled BENEATH THE STREETS: The Hidden Relics of New York's Subway System, by Jeff Litwack and Jurne. After seeing its cover, I thought this may be the book I was looking for. So, I purchased the book on the day it was released and received it within a few days.

When I opened the book for the first time and began looking at it, I could not put it down! The captivating pictures made me feel as if I was actually there in NYC's train tunnels. The vivid colors of some of the spooky-looking train tunnels caught my attention.

Some of the graffiti artwork was awesome! I wonder if some of the artists have thought about having their own graffiti art exhibits. It was truly amazing to see this type of art created by simply using cans of spray paint.

Overall, Litwack's and Jurne's BENEATH THE STREETS is an awesome source about the underground train tunnels and the work of graffiti artists. I plan to keep my copy for years to come.

I briefly visited New York City only once and I never had a chance to take a ride on the subway train. If I ever get a chance to visit the Big Apple again, I will be sure to do that.
