Book excerpt: Adrian Plummer is a narrow-minded preacher; Charles Chew, the richest man in the town is a confirmed atheist. So when Plummer's son, Guy and Chew's daughter, Bee, fall in love, neither family looks well on the union. Cod Dugan , who runs the local poolroom, has gotten fed up with Plummer's lectures, so he decides to get back at the preacher. He takes the young couple to a squire in another town who marries them. Then, Dugan never bothers to pick up the marriage certificate. When Bee is about to have a baby and the couple can't prove they are married, scandal rocks the town. Bee goes away to have the child, but Guy stays behind and braves the taunts, even when his father is forced to resign his pulpit. Guy is instrumental in getting a highway built through town and when the squire tracks him down with the marriage certificate, all is forgiven.

Book excerpt: Think of the movies, think of any photographic image of the New York skyline and there will undoubtedly be water towers; features that are as much a recognisable part of the city as the yellow taxi cabs and the street signs. Ronnie Farley has documented these New York monoliths for over 20 years from every angle and time of day; a beautifully photographed and original collection.

Book excerpt: This collection of photographs of the water towers of New York City are not only a tribute to these iconic structures of the city’s landscape, but also a pretext to explore hidden details of its architecture. Rooftop water towers are an unique opportunity to experiment with shapes, forms and textures, a frequent component of my photographic quest. Inspired by famous paintings like Edward Hopper’s “Rooftop” (1926), and by the ever changing architectural scene, I focused my attention on the cylindrical wooded structures and framed them with the surrounding buildings. This a is a collection of many years of walking the streets of New York with my camera.Water is our most precious natural resource. New York City’s skyline is dotted with wooden water towers, the result of a 19th century’s law requiring all buildings taller than six stories to be equipped with a rooftop water tank. This was necessary to prevent the need for excessively high pressures at lower elevations, which could burst pipes. Pressure in the city’s pipes can take water up only about half a dozen stories, so a higher building needs either a pumping system or a system of tanks. A water tower seemed like the better solution, since it also provides emergency storage for fire protection. A water tower store 25,000 to 50,000 liters of water until it is needed in the building below. The upper portion of water is skimmed off the top for everyday use while the water in the bottom of the tower is held in reserve to fight fire. When the water drops below a certain level, a pressure switch, level switch or float valve activate a pump or open a public water line to refill the water tower. Even today, no sealant is used to hold the water in. The wooden walls are held together with cables but leak through the gaps when first filled. As the water saturates, the wood swells, the gaps close and the tank become impermeable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rachel Whiteread's "Water Tower" began in 1994 with an invitation by New York's Public Art Fund to visit New York City. After almost four years of planning, on June 7, 1998, the "Water Tower" was installed on a rooftop at West Broadway and Grand in the heart of SoHo. This book documents in words and pictures all stages of producing this complex, yet simple "private sculpture in public space" (Jerry Saltz, Village Voice art critic). We experience the early phase by taking a look into Whiteread's private notebooks, we take part in tracing the site search through New York, we hear about the technical difficulties of producing a translucent glass-like resin tank, and we listen to numerous comments of art aficionados and passers-by from the street. Luc Sante tells us about the nature of water towers, Molly Nesbitt provides us with a social and art-historical perspective on the topic, Neville Wakefield reveals unknown facts on the nature of water and water towers, and Tom Eccles, director of the Public Art Fund, tells us the story of how Whiteread's "Water Tower" came to life in detail. This comprehensive volume is a must for every contemporary art library.
