| Contents: | PLACES & PEOPLES: PICTORIAL WORKS. From the street, New York is a bustling, familiar world. Seen from the air, it's an exotic, uncluttered, beautiful place. From vantage points that few people ever attain, world-renowned aerial photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand has created a lush, romantic tribute to one of the most thrilling cities in history. He reveals the power and beauty of Manhattan's amazing skyscrapers, the bucolic joys of Central Park, and the majesty of the Upper West Side's castle-like apartment buildings. John Tauranac's lively commentaries lead readers on a truly spectacular tour. Now, as never before, this book calls to mind all that there is to cherish and celebrate about New York City -- and America. |
