This beautiful book deepens readers' understanding with an aerial portrait of the river's shores from the Battery, at the southernmost tip of Manhattan, to the river's origin near Albany. Focusing on man-made sites rarely seen by those who travel along the river's banks -- some of which can \u003ci\u003eonly\u003c\/i\u003e be seen aerially -- the book showcases the shore area's vanishing (or vanished) avenues, prisons, power plants, quarries, parks, condos, and redevelopments. \u003ci\u003eUp River's\u003c\/i\u003e photos and accompanying succinct text tell the story of how this river was used in developing industry and modern America from Revolutionary times through 19th-century exploitation of the waterfront to the beginnings of environmental activism that protects famous vistas from the quarriers of the Palisades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Center for Land Use Interpretation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0922233292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780922233298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blast Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.35h x 9.25w x 0.92d","brand":"Center for Land Use Interpretation","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995635941631,"sku":"9780922233298","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a00173fa-986b-4fe6-ae92-ddb9df5d9866.jpg?v=1683336936","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/up-river-center-for-land-use-interpretation-9780922233298","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
