New York City, with its iconic skyline; its mix of modern architecture and historic buildings; its rivers and islands; its infrastructure of roads and bridges; and its rooftops used for every possible purpose, is his magnificent subject―the great stage for twenty-first century life. Shooting from a small helicopter in all seasons and from dawn to dusk, Steinmetz captures both the brute physical presence and the romance of the metropolis. Included are the classic sites like Central Park and Times Square, important new projects like the Highline and the September 11 Memorial, wide coverage of both Manhattan and the other boroughs and all kinds of urban spaces, from museums to sports arenas to beaches. But what particularly distinguishes the photography is that it portrays the city at all scales and often reveals people at play, at rest, and at work. Review: If you love New York YOU MUST BUY THIS BOOK!!!! - This is the most AMAZING book, I can't say how much I absolutely love it!! I've had a love affair with NYC all my life and been several times - this is the best book I've found for making you feel like you're actually there when you look through the fabulous pages upon pages of superb photography. I thought I knew all there was to know about the city, but the short captions on each page are so informative, I've found out loads of things I didn't realise and it's added to the thrill of this book. Every time I turn a page the first word that seems to come out is 'WOW!' The photography is incredible, George Steinmetz is a real artist and has really managed to capture exactly what this incredible city is all about. I love the book and still savouring every page of it! Can't believe it only cost £20 as the book is huge and packed full of glossy pictures - YOU MUST BUY THIS BOOK if you love NY, you won't be disappointed!! Review: A beautiful book - This stunning book captures a New York few will ever truly see — a city of hidden angles and fleeting moments, frozen in time. Though I’ve walked its streets a few times, each return to these pages reveals something new, like rediscovering a familiar melody with fresh ears. The telephoto lens gently pulls the distant close, folding layers of city life into a single breathless frame, where background and foreground dance as one. The pages themselves feel crafted with care — thick, enduring, as if made to be turned again and again through the years. This is not just a book — it’s a love letter to a city that never stops revealing itself. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,182,955 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 70 in United States Travel Photography 129 in Air Travel 188 in Aerial Photography | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 163 Reviews | ## Images ![New York Air: The View from Above - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kKqPPwbNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you love New York YOU MUST BUY THIS BOOK!!!! *by M***S on 2 March 2016* This is the most AMAZING book, I can't say how much I absolutely love it!!
