Master architectural photographer Nathaniel Lieberman sees New York in terms of light: the light of dawn casting a honey-colored glow over the East River; the light of dusk soothing the stately structures on Central Park West; artificial light setting midtown Manhattan ablaze at night; the sharp light of day delineating the incomparable Manhattan skyline. Taken from high atop New York's skyscrapers and from its bridges and boroughs, these fifty-five vistas portray the world's most powerful city as we have only imagined it in our dreams. Lieberman captures Brooklyn Bridge illuminated by a burst of fireworks during the celebration of its centenary, the glass-and-steel grid of the Jacob Javits Center twinkling futuristically, and the entire length of Central Park in each of the seasons; the twin towers of the World Trade Center soar majestically above the deserted lanes of the old West Side Highway; the dramatic Citicorp Building forms part of a strikingly geometric composition.With an introduction by Winter's Tale author Mark Helprin, quotes about New York by a host of literary residents and visitors -- past and present -- and a spectacular arial view of Manhattan, this volume is the ultimate gift book for anyone who has ever romanced the stones of this remarkable city.
