High Above New York (World from the Air)

Więcej o książce

High Above New York expands our sense of a city that already looms large in the imagination. Attini's photographic eye sweeps over the other four boroughs to capture the many parts of the Big Apple other books miss. We tour Brooklyn, with its much-loved waterfront heights looking down over lower Manhattan. 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.
