On September 12, 1609, Henry Hudson first set foot on the land that
would become Manhattan. Today, it’s difficult to imagine what he
saw, but for more than a decade, landscape ecologist Eric Sanderson
has been working to do just that. Mannahatta: A Natural History of
New York City is the astounding result of those efforts,
reconstructing in words and images the wild island that millions
now call home. By geographically matching an 18th-century map with
one of the modern city, examining volumes of historic documents,
and collecting and analyzing scientific data, Sanderson re-creates
the forests of Times Square, the meadows of Harlem, and the
wetlands of downtown. His lively text guides readers through this
abundant landscape, while breathtaking illustrations transport them
back in time. Mannahatta is a groundbreaking work that provides not
only a window into the past, but also inspiration for the future.
