Our next title is The Address Book: What Street Addresses Reveal About Identity, Race, Wealth, and Power. Author Deirdre Mask takes readers on a global journey through the complex and often hidden stories behind street names and their power to name, to hide, and to decide who counts and who doesn’t—and why."
