Mannahatta

In 1609, Henry Hudson first set eyes on the land that would become Manhattan. It's difficult for us to imagine what he saw, but for more than a decade, landscape ecologist Eric Sanderson has been working to do just that. This book is the astounding result of those efforts, reconstructing, in words and images, the wild island that millions of New Yorkers now call home. Filled with breathtaking illustrations that show what Manhattan looked like 400 years ago, thisis a groundbreaking work.
