Invisible New York: The Hidden Infrastructure of the City (Creating the North American Landscape)

I was expecting more photos of decaying buildings, tunnels, etc. It does have some of that, but some of the images were of structures that seemed a little too new, or there were multiple photos of similar structures, or you couldn't really tell what the structures were from the photo. I guess I was just expecting something different.

I received this book along with "The City Beneath Us: Building the New York Subway" as birthday gifts. I have family that live in New York City and routinely travel the subway system while there. It seems like every time we visit, we notice something new and fascinating about the city's architecture or sub-structure. This book is an amazing read coupled with fantastic photography! It is a book that I will re-visit often.

I was trying to find a book that showed the hidden infrastructure of New York City but how they did it all, pictures of constructions and information how how in the world they have done what they have done, amazing! These pictures and this book is okay but just not what I was looking for.

Great coffee table book of little-seen aspects of NYC. One warning I'd mention is that not all of the pictures are of things underground/unseen. Some are simply of neglected/abandonded/decaying above ground sites (not exactly what I'd expected but it's still a good collection). Perhaps it would be best to peruse this book at your local bookseller before making a decision on the purchase.

The book arrived promptly and was in great shape. The subject matter was very interesting and the author covered the subject well. I would recommend both the seller and the book.

This was purchased as a gift and very well received.

Invisible New York is one of the three or four most treasured books in my library. Greenberg's black and white photography is beautiful and lush. To me, the book's one shortcoming is that it's not longer! Greenberg has a sharp eye for reading and presenting spaces. A treat for all of us who wonder what lives down there under the manhole cover or over there behind that fence.

My only disappointment is that there wasn't more.

Nos muestra los elementos invisibles de las infraestructuras de Nueva York. Fotos verdaderamente preciosas y muy reveladoras. No es todo foto, incluye un escueto texto de cada foto y una introducción muy interesante.
