Description
Speaking of The Forests and Wetlands of New York City, Elizabeth Barlow Rogers says: "When I came to live in New York City in 1964, I did not feel like a temporarily expatriated Texan. I knew that I wished to become a New Yorker and make the city my permanent home. Writing my first book, The Forests and Wetlands of New York City, was a key factor in appropriating the city as my particular place in the world. I illustrated it with both historic images and photographs I took with my Roliflex camera. Since the word “wetland” seemed obscure at the time — the pre-dawn of the environmental movement — my Little, Brown editor encouraged me to title the book Nature in New York. I was happy to succeed in retaining my original title."
