Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City by Eric Sanderson (English) Paper

Description: Mannahatta by Eric Sanderson, Markley Boyer In this new, accessible package, Sanderson takes you on a trip back through time, to explore Manhattan in its primitive form. Readers will be given a glimpse of what Manhattan looked like to its early explorers; before the skyscrapers, before the crowded sidewalks and the busy intersections of avenues and streets FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description On September 12, 1609, Henry Hudson first set foot on the land that would become Manhattan. Today, its difficult to imagine what he saw, but for more than a decade, landscape ecologist Eric Sanderson has been working to do just that. Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City is the astounding result of those efforts, reconstructing in words and images the wild island that millions now call home. By geographically matching an 18th-century map with one of the modern city, examining volumes of historic documents, and collecting and analyzing scientific data, Sanderson re-creates the forests of Times Square, the meadows of Harlem, and the wetlands of downtown. His lively text guides readers through this abundant landscape, while breathtaking illustrations transport them back in time. Mannahatta is a groundbreaking work that provides not only a window into the past, but also inspiration for the future. Notes Takes readers on a journey into the past by reconstructing what Manhattan looked like 400 years ago. Author Biography Eric W. Sanderson is a senior conservation ecologist in the Global Conservation Programs of the Wildlife Conservation Society. He is adjunct faculty member at Columbia University and New York University and has lectured at Princeton, Harvard, and Oxford universities, and at TED.
