Geography of New York State Supplement - by John Thompson (Paperback)

Review Quotes

A map of the boat and wagon routes across NY State in 1818, a photo of Jones Beach in midsummer, a forecast of the state's urban population in the year 2000, the median family income in Great Neck and Buffalo, the fate of the indigenous and of the indigent--these reflect some of the subjects handled in depth by sixteen contributors to this book. It is a thorough study, well indexed, of NYs human and natural resources, economics, ecology, climate, and urban systems, made graphic by tables, photos, text maps.-- "Saturday Review"
