Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City by Eric Sanderson
It's difficult to imagine what Manhattan would have looked like to its explorers - before the skyscrapers, the crowded sidewalks and the busy intersections. Although the lush forests, rolling hills and streams have disappeared, this work aims to bring this wild island to life through text, maps, illustrations and computer visualisations.
Eric W. Sanderson is the Associate Director for Landscape Ecology and Geographic Analysis in the Living Landscape Program of the Wildlife Conservation Society at the Bronx Zoo. He is an expert in the application of geographic principles and techniques to problems in wildlife, landscape, and ecological conservation and has published numerous articles on the subject. He lives in New York. Markley Boyer has worked with the Wildlife Conservation Society creating maps and visualisations for a new series of national parks in Gabon. He is also a silversmith, exploring similar themes of geomorphology in metal and wood. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
