Krátky popis
'Deirdre Mask's book was just up my Strasse, alley, avenue and
boulevard. A classic history of nomenclature - loaded, complex and
absorbing.' -Simon Garfield, author of Just My TypeStarting with a
simple question, 'what do street addresses do?', Deirdre Mask
travels the world and back in time to work out how we describe
where we live and what that says about us. From the chronological
numbers of Tokyo to the naming of Bobby Sands Street in Iran, she
explores how our address - or lack of one - expresses our politics,
culture and technology.It affects our health and wealth, and it can
even affect the working of our brains. From Ancient Rome to Kolkata
today, from cholera epidemics to tax hungry monarchs, Mask
discovers the different ways street names are created, celebrated,
and in some cases, banned. Filled with fascinating people and
histories, this incisive, entertaining book shows how addresses are
about identity, class and race.But most of all they are about
power: the power to name, to hide, to decide who counts, who
doesn't, and why.
