"A well-written and comprehensive tale . . . a lively history of the people and events that forged modern-day New York City."-The Urban Audubon
Experience a seldom-seen New York City with journalists and NYC natives Sharon Seitz and Stuart Miller as they show you the 42 islands in this city's diverse archipelago. Within the city's boundaries there are dozens of islands-some famous, like Ellis, some infamous, like Rikers, and others forgotten, like North Brother, where Typhoid Mary spent nearly 30 years in confinement.

From the author of 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, a rallying cry to get off the couch and out into the world.
