Download or read book Mannahatta written by Eric W. Sanderson and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did New York look like four centuries ago? An extraordinary reconstruction of a wild island from the forests of Times Square to the wetlands downtown. Named a Best Book of the Year by Library Journal, New York Magazine, and San Francisco Chronicle 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 eighteenth-century map with one of the modern city, examining volumes of historic documents, and collecting and analyzing scientific data, Sanderson re-creates topography, flora, and fauna from a time when actual wolves prowled far beyond Wall Street and the degree of biological diversity rivaled that of our most famous national parks. His lively text guides you through this abundant landscape—while breathtaking illustrations transport you back in time. Mannahatta is a groundbreaking work that provides not only a window into the past, but also inspiration for the future. “[A] wise and beautiful book, sure to enthrall anyone interested in NYC history.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “A cartographical detective tale . . . The fact-intense charts, maps and tables offered in abundance here are fascinating.” —The New York Times “[An] exuberantly written and beautifully illustrated exploration of pre-European Gotham.” —San Francisco Chronicle “You don’t have to be a New Yorker to be enthralled.” —Library Journal

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Geological History of Manhattan or New York Island: Together With a Map of the Island, and a Suite of Sections, Tables and Columns, for the Study of Geology, Particularly Adapted for the American Student When I first undertook to make a Geological Sections, Maps, &c., it was for my own study and amusement, and I had no thought of publishing my productions; but as I found most of the elementary works on the subject, to be mere collections of hard names and foreign references, and consequently not likely to be looked on by the American student, but as a task, I thought I could show something more agreeable nearer home, and by adding historical facts, anecdotes and reminiscences of the city, I might induce some to read and become interested, in the greatest of all sciences; I therefore enlarged my work, and now, by the advice of my friends, I lay it before the public, hoping, it may at least serve as a stepping stone to the young Geologist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geology of the City of New York: Greater New York The City of New York now embraces four separate, though from a geological view, not distinct areas, viz.: The Borough of Manhattan (Manhattan Island), the Borough of the Bronx, the Borough of Richmond (Staten Island) and the Boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens (Brooklyn, Jamaica, Flatbush and Long Island City). Of these, the Borough of Manhattan and the Borough of the Bronx have a common geological expression; the Boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens are identical in geological character, and carry to its most typical limit the drift area so largely reduced on Manhattan Island by municipal changes, while the Borough of Richmond bears an individual geological structure involving peculiar features not observed in the others. In geological affinities, if the term may be used, Manhattan and the Bronx are allied to northern or primordial, even archæan structures; Richmond, Kings and Queens to southern and recent, though, indeed, in Richmond, there is a problematical nucleus of serpentine hills, probably derivative from crystalline schists, similar to those of Manhattan Island. In view of this diversity of feature the discussion of the topographical conditions and the geological nature of the City of New York will naturally fall into three sections; first that of Manhattan Island, with an appendix embracing briefly the similar construction of the Borough of the Bronx; second, that of Brooklyn and Queens and third, that of Richmond. 1. Manhattan Island. Topography. Manhattan Island, the original nucleus of the present enlarged city, is an irregular rectangle, bounded on the northwest by the Hudson River, on the north by Spuyten Duyvil Creek and the Harlem River, on the east by the Harlem and East Rivers, on the south by the basin of New York Harbor, or the interjunction of the Hudson River and the East River Channels. It preserves a fairly uniform width of two miles northward to 125th Street, and there tapers into an elongated neck-like extension, having an average width of three quarters of a mile at Spuyten Duyvil Creek, its northern extremity.
