Local History, National Implications,
By Christopher T. Cory (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Long Island: An Illustrated History (Hardcover)
This is a coffeetable-size book that won't require coffee to read and enjoy. With luscious historical and contemporary illustrations, it takes a serious look at the early rural history and the pell-mell modern development of one of the most populous regions of the country -- "perhaps the definitive suburb." The book ranges from Brooklyn to Montauk. It is produced in cooperation with the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities, and the authors clearly know whereof they speak. "Chronicles of leadership," a final chapter, has well-illustrated profiles of local civic institutions and businesses, prepared by them, that turn up a surprising variety of facts about organizations from Brookhaven National Laboratory and Long Island University to Computer Associates International and Marders Nursery.
