This simple book takes the reader out of the hustle and bustle of New York City, through the suburbs and out to the countryside and oceanside. SImple text coupled with expert photographs captures the density of life in the city and contrast it with the strip malls and housing tracks of the suburbs and then the wide expanses of the undeveloped landscapes.
