Brooklyn: Then and Now
Brooklyn possesses a rich history and culture. The Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Dodgers, and Coney Island are icons as well known as Manhattan's skyline. Home to more than two million people, the borough -one of five that comprise New York City- has had many faces over the course of its history. Illustrated with historic photos -many taken well over a century ago- and matching, full color contemporary scenes, the book provides a visual chronicle of one of America's most intriguing places.
