From the Publisher:
In this stunning collection of images, master
photographer Joel Meyerowitz invites us to discover the hidden
pockets of wildnerss that still exist within the urban environs
of New York City. Meyerowitz honed in on the 8,700 acres within
the five boroughs of New York City that still exist in their pristine
state, as well as areas within various parks that have reverted
to wilderness. In creating work, Meyerowitz has drawn on childhood
memories of a New York "green-space—open and wild,
alive with rabbits, migratory birds, snakes, frogs,and the occasional
skunk—[that] gave me my first sense of natural world, its
temperament and its seasons, its unpredictability, and its mystery."
