Synopsis America defies easy depiction, but aerial photography uniquely reveals its many treasures. From Alaska to Florida, the immense landmass extends across five time zones, from icy Arctic seas to the tropical warmth of the Caribbean. The nation's features are sculpted on a massive scale. From the Appalachians to the Cascades, the ranges offer myriad challenges to climbers; the Grand Canyon is but one of many geological showcases; the great parks-Yellowstone and Yosemite among them-are admired the world over; and every state offers diverse scenery and abundant wildlife. Nature is unfettered. Hawaii's active volcanoes rise from valleys filled with brilliantly hued tropical flora; the vast Mississippi Valley is a mosaic of croplands; the Florida Everglades are a world of water, sedge, and bird and aquatic life; while Alaska offers magnificent glaciers and forest-flanked fjords. The nation's coasts range from New England's rocky headlands and islets to California and Florida's limitless stretches of golden sand. America's cities are a story of their own: historic New England towns, vibrant New York, majestic Washington, French-flavored New Orleans, glittering Los Angeles, relaxed San Francisco and proud Chicago.

History

Americas

Witness the rise of New York City through dozens of historic and contemporary aerial photographs that chart the city’s ever-changing skyline. From the ground, New York City can feel like a chaotic jumble of traffic, pedestrians, one-way streets, parks, and buildings of every shape and size. But above the city, away from the cacophony and the commotion, New York can be tranquil and awe-inspiring. The city that never sleeps also never stops changing, which is why this phenomenal collection of historic maps and aerial photos is a fascinating way to explore New York’s evolution. The book opens with maps of 17th-century Manhattan, a quiet settlement with a ragged shoreline. A series of chronological illustrations show the city’s northward expansion, the establishment of its grid system, and the creation of Central Park. The next three chapters include aerial photographs that chart the city’s unbelievable expansion in every direction, including skyward. As buildings rise, as the shoreline expands with ports and landfills, and as more sophisticated photographic techniques allow for breathtaking views of New York’s unmistakable skyline, this lush, oversized book captures a city that is truly alive. Author Peter Skinner’s commentaries on the photographs and maps will guide readers through what is certain to become a treasured book for all who love New York.

The Bronx shows off its many waterfronts, parks, college campuses, and its world-class zoo and botanic gardens. Queens is a borough of ethnic enclaves, where Indian gold jewelry shops, Latin American food stores, and Little Korea are to be found. Staten Island boasts early Dutch and English settlements-as well as a traditional Himalayan monastery.Combining the the awe-inspiring with the intriguing, the historic with the postmodern, this book captures the spirit of New York in its protean forms. Buildings, monuments, parks, and beaches all come under the lens of this acclaimed photographer, who loves New York in its entirety.
