New York: An Illustrated History

The companion to the PBS Series

The companion volume to the PBS television series, with more than 500 full-color and black-and-white illustrations. This lavish and handsomely produced book captures all the beauty, complexity, and power of New York -- the city that seems the very embodiment of ambition, aspiration, romance, desire; the city that has epitomized the entire parade of modern life, with all its possibilities and problems. Chronicling the story of New York from its establishment as a Dutch trading post in 1624 to its global preeminence today, the book is at once the biography of a great city and a vivid exploration of the myriad forces commercial, cultural, demographic that converged in New York to usher in the contemporary world.
