World-renowned and bestselling aerial photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand has redefined color in his new book, “New York from the Air.”

Bertrand takes advantage of the strongest daylight to achieve lush-filled, color-saturated photographs that invoke romance in one of the most thrilling cities in the world.

His architectural landscapes display both contrasting power and the beauty of Manhattan’s amazing skyscrapers, melodious park pastures, majestic castle-like buildings, and much more, all while shooting from a high vantage point few ever get to see. Accompanying the volume are more than 70 maps from New York historian and cartographer John Tauranac. Tauranac’s lively commentaries lead readers on a spectacular tour from above the burly but brilliant city.
