Title: The Address Book: What Street Addresses Reveal About Identity, Race, Wealth, and Power
Author: Deirdre Mask
Genre: Nonfiction
This is such a fun and odd topic--what does a street address mean? It is remarkable how new these things are, and yet they have shaped and continue to shape the way we think, govern, and even treat each other. The author looks at places all around the world to show how and when addresses came into being and how they have been used in various cultures and governments. I loved her exploration of such a niche topic; the book flies by and is so much fun to read.
