First Sentence:
New York City originated as New Amsterdam, in the state of New Netherland, in the mid-1600s and (for the most part) prospered into the sprawling metropolis it is today through a combination of reform movements, comprehensive city planning initiatives introduced in the nineteenth century, nonpartisan municipal commissions, and the ceaseless lure of commerce. Read the first page

1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless trivia, August 15, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
What a waste of money! The author repeats old wives' tales and urban myths as if the were true. The book is obviously free of any fact-checking or copy-editing services. Let's hope the paper is quickly recycled.
