Leaders in the Labyrinth
Leaders in the Labyrinth sheds light on how presidents conduct the influence and power of their office, especially in the use of their pulpits, how they navigate issues of political correctness, and how they hold the center of the university together, in contentious times and against competing ideological forces.

Classical New York
Essays on the historical Greco-Roman influence on the evolving architectural landscape of New York City. During its rise from capital of an upstart nation to global metropolis, the visual language of Greek and Roman antiquity played a formative role in the development of New York’s art and architecture. This compilation of essays offers a survey of diverse reinterpretations of classical forms in some of the city’s most iconic buildings, public monuments, and civic spaces.

New York's Golden Age of Bridges
In New York’s Golden Age of Bridges, artist Antonio Masi teams up with writer and New York City historian Joan Marans Dim to offer a multidimensional exploration of New York City’s nine major bridges, their artistic and cultural underpinnings, and their impact worldwide. The tale of New York City’s bridges begins in 1883, when the Brooklyn Bridge rose majestically over the East River, signaling the start of America’s “Golden Age” of bridge building.

The Hall of Fame for Great Americans
"This book provides the first institutional and social history of America's first hall of fame, the Hall of Fame for Great Americans, from its dynamic opening in 1901 through its protracted decline in the late twentieth century and brief return to relevancy in 2017-when, in response to the violent demonstrations in Charlottesville, Virginia, Governer Andrew Cuomo called for the removal of the Hall's busts of Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Sheila Gerami examines in depth what is arguably the least studied project of Stanford White, one of the most distinguished architects of the Gilded Age. Originally designed for New York University's new campus in the Bronx, the Hall once housed ninety-eight bronze busts of men and women deemed "great Americans" within its elegant colonnade, including the likes of George Washington, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Booker T. Washington, Susan B. Anthony, and Robert E. Lee. Gerami argues that the rise and fall of this public art memorial mirrors the nation's changing conception of what comprises a hero and what it means to be great in America"--
