      abstract = {Before skyscrapers and streetlights glowed at all hours,  American cities fell into inky blackness with each setting  of the sun. But over the course of the nineteenth and early  twentieth century, new technologies began to light up  streets, sidewalks, buildings, and public spaces. Peter C.  Baldwin's evocative book depicts the changing experience of  the urban night over this period, visiting a host of  actors, scavengers, newsboys, and mashers alike in the  nocturnal city. Baldwin examines work, crime,  transportation, and leisure as he moves through the  gaslight era.},
