New York from the Air: A Story of Architecture

Completely updated with new photographs and text, New York from the Air is a lush, romantic, and ultimately hopeful tribute to one of the most thrilling cities in history. World-renowned bestselling photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand--shooting from vantage points that few people ever attain--presents the power and beauty of Manhattan's amazing skyscrapers, the bucolic joys of Central Park, the majesty of the Upper West Side's castle-like apartment buildings, and much, much more. This new edition includes unpublished photographs of landmarks built since the previous edition in 2003. New York historian and cartographer John Tauranac's lively commentaries lead readers on a truly spectacular tour from above the city that never sleeps.
