Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965, The New York Public Library's Stephen A. Schwarzman Building at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street is a defining presence in New York City. The building's exterior ornamentation reflects one of the great artistic collaborations of its era, and every intricate classical detail was hand-carved by artisans trained in Old World techniques. Inside, highlights include the soaring Rose Main Reading Room, one of the largest uncolumned interior spaces in the world; the marble-paneled Bartos Forum, crowned by a glass and cast-iron dome; the beautifully proportioned Astor Hall; and the stunningly restored Map Division. Architectural historian Ingrid Steffensen traces the history of this architectural masterpiece in this updated edition, published to celebrate the building's 2011 Centennial and the restoration of its monumental marble facade and decorative embellishments - fountains, attic figures and pediment groups - to their original Beaux-Arts glory.

Within a decade, China's leaders will have the military power to hold at risk U.S. interest in East Asia. The U.S. needs to fashion a new and competitive strategy, one that better matches the strengths of the U.S. and its allies against China's vulnerabilities, in order to maintain a balance of power in the region and convince China's leaders to pursue a cooperative course. It is not obvious to many observers why a conflict in the region is plausible, or why the U.S. should bear the responsibility for maintaining a forward military presence in the region. China has rapidly emerged as a great power and by doing so, has acquired many vital interests around the world. Following the pattern set by other such episodes in history, China is also acquiring the military means to protect its new interests, a development that puts at risk the interests of China's neighbors and the United States. The U.S. forward military presence in the region is an increasingly difficult burden to sustain.
