Las Vegas is usually totally misunderstood by outsiders. Yes, it's a Mecca of gambling, nightlife and vice, but this place has also been the fastest-growing American city for the past 40 years or so. An oasis in the middle of a huge, arid desert, Las Vegas is a big city like every other big city in North America, and yet is fundamentally different. It's literally a 24-hour town where many residents are used to eating dinner at 4:00 am and breakfast at 6:00 pm and consider it quite normal, and often find themselves bombarded by every aspect of human carnality at every hour, and that's from the people who AREN'T breaking the law ... necessarily. Take a tour of the dark side of life in modern Las Vegas in this awesome compilation.

From the editor's introduction: ""Paris is a city that lives, and thus dies, every day. No point hiding behind history or war memories. What is a threat to Paris, to its noir dimension even, is potential 'museumification,' the possibility of the city turning into a big theme park. In Paris, after all, everything is still there. All you have to do is look around with eyes wide open . . . Beyond the lights, beyond the cafés and bars, Paris is sometimes like a grave. It's a city you run away from, or at least dream of running away from. But on every street corner, the past jumps at your throat like a grimacing hyena . . . You don't inhabit your city, you dream it. All I can do now is invite you to enter the dream."

Meet the Rocket Girls, and read the unknown story of the women engineers and scientists who helped to build NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

To fill this role, the American government selected not male university graduates, but young women who would work with pencil and paper.
