Two waters

Více o knize

Bob Braine built his first boat to explore the Bronx River in 1995. Since then, he has ventured along many of New York’s waterways to view the city from a pre-industrial perspective. He is particularly interested in the ecology of the urban edges where industry and nature meet and the residue of consumption culture accumulates. He examines botanical and animal life as a metaphor for the power of biology and growth of mutant nature. In these marginal places he studies the cultural human activity, topography, and the pre-Hudsonian history of place. 118 pages; profusely illustrated with b&w and color photographs, maps and reproductions of found letters; 10 x 8 inches.
