Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to the Nature Treasures of New York City: American Museum of Natural History New York Aquarium, New York Zoological Park and Botanical Garden, Brooklyn Museum, Botanic Garden and Children's Museum The purpose of this Guide, which owes its idea and inception to President Henry Fairfield Osborn of the American Museum of Natural History, is to render accessible under one cover an account of the public scientific institutions of New York City which are built and supported by public funds in cooperation with the benefaction and direction of individual citizens. This union of municipal and private endeavor in the cause of Public Education is unique. The Guide is designed to be brief enough to permit of easy reading and at the same time sufficiently detailed and descriptive to give an adequate idea of the collections these institutions contain and of their importance as educational factors. The visitor is thus enabled to choose from the exhibits of any or all of the Museums, Parks and Gardens those in which he is most interested and to proceed directly to them, or to plan a survey as a whole with a minimum waste of time and effort. Rearrangements of the collections which are liable to take place in the near future have been anticipated as far as possible at the time of writing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York City’s favorite naturalist returns with a guided tour of the beautiful birds living in the five boroughs. Look around New York, and you’ll probably see birds: wood ducks swimming in Queens, a stalking black-crowned night-heron in Brooklyn, great horned owls perching in the Bronx, warblers feeding in Central Park, or Staten Island’s purple martins flying to and fro. You might spot hawks and falcons nesting on skyscrapers or robins belting out songs from trees along the street. America’s largest metropolis teems with birdlife in part because it sits within the great Atlantic flyway where migratory birds travel seasonally between north and south. The Big Apple’s miles of coastline, magnificent parks, and millions of trees attract dozens of migrating species every year and are also home year-round to scores of resident birds. There is no better way to identify and learn about New York’s birds than with this comprehensive field guide from New York City naturalist Leslie Day. Her book will quickly teach you what each species looks like, where they build their nests, what they eat, the sounds of their songs, what time of year they appear in the city, the shapes and colors of their eggs, and where in the five boroughs you can find them?which is often in the neighborhood you call home. The hundreds of stunning photographs by Beth Bergman and gorgeous illustrations by Trudy Smoke will help you identify the ninety avian species commonly seen in New York. Once you enter the world of the city’s birds, life in the great metropolis will never look the same. “‘Take this guide wherever you go,’ [Day] implores readers in the introduction. And we hope many do, since it reveals a New York we long to see, the wild, beautiful city of birds known to Audubon, Chapman, and Griscom.” —Chuck Hagner, BirdWatching Magazine “An excellent guide for New York City residents. If you have any interest in the birds around you (and there are plenty of birds around you, even in NYC), this guide will really open your eyes.” —Birder's Library “Day’s deeply researched and richly illustrated Field Guide to the Neighborhood Birds of New York City will be indispensable to locals and tourists alike.” —Sierra “Will fill a niche for beginning birders and backyard watchers in the northeastern U.S.” —Choice “You don’t have to live in or be visiting New York to enjoy this book.” —Times Literary Supplement (UK)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience the ancient roots and enduring natural beauty of New York as never before. New York City, once a lush and verdant group of forested islands, is still home to a rich collection of diverse tree species, each with a story to tell about the city’s past. This gorgeous book by naturalist and photographer Benjamin Swett offers stunning color photographs, personal narratives, and fascinating historical observations about a select few of the thousands of trees that thrive in the five boroughs—from the sprawling New York Botanical Garden in spring bloom to the snow-laden residential blocks of Queens in winter. Swett’s warm and welcome voice adds depth and perspective to his collection, as well as an unmistakable charm unique to his city’s cosmopolitan character. The stories of these trees—some dating back to the Revolutionary era and before—link the living with the past in a visceral and engaging way that will leave readers with a renewed and lasting appreciation of their own environments. This book is a new edition to New York City of Trees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnificent Trees celebrates the 30,000 specimens that adorn the landscape of The New York Botanical Garden, a National Historic Landmark. This new visual tribute features lavish photographs by Larry Lederman accompanied by descriptions by Todd Forrest, Vice President for Horticulture and Living Collections at the Garden. Trees evoke wonder in all who observe them. They are at once visions of majesty, and symbols of shelter and peace. The beauty inherent in trees is both perennial and ever-changing; their shapes and colors transform in every change of season, in every sunrise and sunset. The New York Botanical Garden is recognized throughout the world for stewardship and connoisseurship of its vast collections, some in forests, some in groves, and some standing in solitary majesty. An authority on the diverse species present in the garden, Todd Forrest writes vividly about the Garden’s past, detailing the incredible histories of the trees in the collection—from their vital role in Native American life and culture, to their wartime function as neutral territory during the Revolutionary War. Each tree has a story to tell, and just as Forrest gives their collective past words, Lederman captures their grandeur in hundreds of stunning images. He portrays the diversity of this collection with photographs that reveal the trees in a myriad of fascinating perspectives: in landscape views that convey the Garden’s genius loci; portraits illustrating the architecture and profound visual impact of selected trees; remarkable details of flowers, fruit, bark and leaves; and impressionistic images, abstract in character but beautiful in composition.
