Plenty of mathematicians, Hardy knew, could follow a step-by-step discursus unflaggingly—yet counted for nothing beside Ramanujan. Years later, he would contrive an informal scale of natural mathematical ability on which he assigned himself a 25 and Littlewood a 30. To David Hilbert, the most eminent mathematician of the day, he assigned an 80. To Ramanujan he gave 100. - Robert Kanigel

135 / Eyes on the Street: The Life of Jane Jacobs by Robert Kanigel (2016) 496 pg
The first major biography of the irrepressible woman who changed the way we view and live in cities, and whose influence can still be felt in any discussion of urban planning to this day.
Eyes on the Street is a revelation of the phenomenal woman who raised three children, wrote seven groundbreaking books, saved neighborhoods, stopped expressways, was arrested twice, and engaged at home and on the streets in thousands of debates - all of which she won. Here is the child who challenged her third-grade teacher; the high school poet; the journalist who honed her writing skills at Iron Age, Architectural Forum, Fortune, and other outlets while amassing the knowledge she would draw upon to write her most famous book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Here, too, is the activist who helped lead an ultimately successful protest against Robert Moses' proposed expressway through her beloved Greenwich Village and who, in order to keep her sons out of the Vietnam War, moved to Canada, where she became as well known and admired as she was in the United States.
Though she lacked any formal training, Jane Jacobs changed the very discourse and philosophy of urban planning and how a city should best address the needs of its inhabitants. Jacobs saved a large portion of lower Manhattan—including Greenwich Village, SoHo, and portions of Little Italy and Chinatown—from being demolished for an expressway, and her widely read book The Death and Life of Great American Cities has become one of the foundational texts for urban renewal. Her remarkable life is brought into vibrant focus in Eyes on the Street: The Life of Jane Jacobs by Robert Kanigel, available now from Knopf.
