Ellis Island by Barry Moreno

The United States is considered the world's foremost refuge for foreigners, and no place in the nation symbolizes this better than Ellis Island. Through Ellis Island's halls and corridors more than twelve million immigrants-of nearly every nationality and race-entered the country on their way to new experiences in North America. With an astonishing array of nineteenth- and twentieth-century photographs, Ellis Island leads the reader through the fascinating history of this small island in New York harbor from its pre-immigration days as one of the harbor's oyster islands to its spectacular years as the flagship station of the U.S. Bureau of Immigration to its current incarnation as the National Park Service's largest museum.
Moreno, Barry: - La Estatua de la Libertad es un maravilloso recorrido visual que se inicia con la increible propuesta de un profesor franc's de dotar a los Estados Unidos de un monumento para conmemorar la alianza entre las trece colonias y Francia que puso fin a la Guerra de Independencia. Documenta como la simbologia de esta estatua fue tomada de la diosa cl'sica de la libertad, as como su nombramiento como la mayor estatua de metal del mundo. Este libro incluye la historia de la construccion de la Estatua de la Libertad, su simbolismo cambiante a trav's del tiempo, y su uso en la publicidad popular y el activismo politico. Barry Moreno, autor de esta composicion, trabaja en el Departamento de Servicios del Museo del Monumento Nacional de la Estatua de la Libertad. Es el autor de Ellis Island por la Arcadia Publishing y varios otros libros como The Statue of Liberty Encyclopedia y The Encyclopedia of Ellis Island.
