Inhaltsangabe

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.
