This dynamic visual history of the world's largest transit system -- in all its intriguing, colorful, and even seedy glory -- is packed with fascinating facts and hundreds of compelling photographs.
When the first New York subway line opened in 1904, it was the most advanced in the world and a source of enormous civic pride. Today, it is an essential function to the lives of New Yorkers and a perennial cultural touchstone. To be a New Yorker is to take the train. To celebrate it, or grumble about it.
Subway: The History, Curiosities, and Secrets of the New York City Transit System by John E. Morris is both a vivid history of this great transportation system and an exploration of its impact on the city and popular culture. The book covers every remarkable moment, from the technical obstacles and corruption that impeded plans for an underground rail line in the 1800s, to the current state of the system and plans for the future; profiles of the colorful, forgotten characters who built and restored the subway; graphics and imagery showing the evolution of subway cars and the way fares are collected; how subway etiquette rules have evolved with society; great subway chase scenes and songs about the subway; a look at abandoned stations and half-built tunnels; and more.

In this visually stunning work, packed with original research, journalist and bestselling author John Morris brings life to this one-time engineering marvel that has united and expanded the city for the last 116 years. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Calibri}

Perfect!
Scent: White Peach, Size: 14oz
Everything you would want in a pet hygiene product. Pet hair type I used this on: low shed, dense cork screw (tight curl) hair/fur. Excellent lather, even application, clean and easy rinsing. The scent is lovely and gentle, perfect for my human senses and -more importantly- the animal minded fragrance notes are happily accepted by my pet’s delicate olfactory system. I start spa bath time by offering an open cap sniff of the products. This is one we both prefer. My pet hasn’t run from the room or attempted to flee the wash basin 🙂

A Gentle Clean That Leaves My Pups Smelling Incredible
Scent: White Peach, Size: 14oz
Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day 3-in-1 Dog Shampoo in White Peach is a breath of fresh air compared to the harsh, chemical-heavy formulas often found on pet store shelves. The 3-in-1 claim—cleansing, softening, and freshening—actually holds up; the formula lathers well enough to cut through dirt and grime but rinses out quickly without leaving any sticky residue. Because it is made with essential oils and plant-derived ingredients, it feels very gentle on the skin, which is a huge plus if your pets are prone to itching or dryness after bath time. The standout feature, however, is the scent. The White Peach aroma is light, fruity, and natural, avoiding that overpowering "wet dog covered in cheap perfume" smell that other brands tend to produce. It strikes a perfect balance: strong enough to neutralize odors but subtle enough that it doesn't seem to bother the dogs' sensitive noses. It makes the entire bathroom smell like a summer orchard rather than a grooming station. Most importantly, the lasting freshness is unbeatable. After using this, my dogs smell absolutely amazing—clean, sweet, and huggable—for days, not just hours. It completely eliminates that lingering "doggy odor" and leaves their coats feeling soft and fluffy. If you are looking for a shampoo that makes you actually want to bury your face in your dog's fur, this is the one to buy.

Works as advertised
Scent: White Peach, Size: 8oz
Exactly as described. My dog seems to enjoy the spraying and wiping process - no struggles. I am not fond of the aroma, even though I usually love anything peach. The smell lasts several days on the dog, so we're not smelling the "dog" smell as much.
