Having grown up in my beloved Hudson Valley, I was anxious to see what this volume would present. Unlike most books that concentrate on the political contributions of the area, this presents an accessible accounting of the commercial and cultural aspects of development on the environment. Starting at the Battery and working up river to the Federal Dam at Troy, the major sites of interest, from estates to brickyards, are featured with an aerial photo and descriptive commentary on the facing page. While there is a perspective, I did not find it cloying or preachy. Anyone wishing to understand the impact of man on the landscape will find it fascinating. Everyone should enjoy the images.

The book was preselected by my son-in-law. In his thank you note, he was quite pleased with it!
