CNN once stated that sleeping in Seoul is for losers. With so much to do in Korea's capital after sundown, they argued, hitting the pillow could only be a waste of time. For Seoul is a new world at night: as its glittering lights pop on to hail the onset of evening, a whole other urban landscape awakes where shining shopping malls, steamy saunas, and lively clubs and bars can be enjoyed round the clock. Relish the refreshing breeze while cycling along the riverbanks at night, and when hunger calls, enjoy a generous and delicious late night meal. Seoul — the city that never sleeps — shows a beautiful new side at night, and is full of shimmering and mesmerizing lights.

New York, more than any other city, has held a special fascination for filmmakers and viewers. In every decade of Hollywood filmmaking, artists of the screen have fixated upon this fascinating place for its tensions and promises, dazzling illumination and fearsome darkness. The glittering skyscrapers of such films as On the Town have shadowed the characteristic seedy streets in which desperate, passionate stories have played out-as in Scandal Sheet and The Pawnbroker. In other films, the city is a cauldron of bright lights, technology, empire, egotism, fear, hunger, and change--the scenic epitome of America in the modern age. From Street Scene and Breakfast at Tiffany's to Rosemary's Baby, The Warriors, and 25th Hour, the sixteen essays in this book explore the cinematic representation of New York as a city of experience, as a locus of ideographic characters and spaces, as a city of moves and traps, and as a site of allurement and danger. Contributors consider the work of Woody Allen, Blake Edwards, Alfred Hitchcock, Gregory La Cava, Spike Lee, Sidney Lumet, Vincente Minnelli, Roman Polanski, Martin Scorsese, Andy Warhol, and numerous others.

'New York, like London, seems to be a toilet of all the depravities of human nature.' Thomas Jefferson Welcome to New York. One of the most vibrant and beautiful cities in the world. Home to the most iconic skyline human beings have ever clapped their eyes on. It is the birthplace of Liberty, freedom and hot-dogs.

It is home to the Knicks, Mets, Yankees, Giants, Jets and Devils. It is the city infamously referred to as the city that never sleeps. And it's true. It doesn't. Which is why, now, after all these years, it has started to look a little tired. A little run down. A little exhausted. In short, it is a city falling apart, on its knees and in need of a damn good bath. The book is a hilarious collection of photographs of the world's most fascinating city at its worst. The photos reveal the eccentricities, bleakness and humour of every nook and cranny of the sprawling five boroughs.

For four thousand years, the Guardships have ruled Canon Space—immortal ships with an immortal crew, dealing swiftly and harshly with any mercantile houses or alien races that threaten the status quo.
