New York From the Air:An Architectural Heritage by John Tauranac
The brightly lit spire of the Chrysler Building glows in the night, Wall Street and the World Financial Centre fill the southern tip of Manhattan Island with powerful geometric forms, a lone sunbather lies on a rock in the Central Park lake: seen from the air, New York is an exotic, uncluttered, beautiful place. Yann Arthus-Bertrand has created in this volume a lush, romantic tribute to the city of New York. This volume offers all the images from the original edition along with 18 new photographs chosen with sensitivity to the tragic destruction of the World Trade Centre. The images are accompanied by commentaries from John Tauranac.
Yann Arthus-Bertrand's photographs have been featured in National Geographic, Life, GEO, and Paris-Match, among other magazines. He has published more than 20 books of aerial photography. Earth From Above is his latest book and exhibition. John Tauranac is a writer and cartographer. In addition to his popular books about New York buildings, he has written numerous articles about New York history, architecture, and real estate for the New York Times, New York Observer, Travel & Leisure, and other publications. He has also created many city and transportation maps, including the award-winning 1979 New York subway map that is still in use.
