EXPLORING AMERICA'S
MOST ORIGINAL URBAN PARK
One and a half miles of rusting railroad track, elevated
30 feet above the West Side of Manhattan, sat abandoned and doomed for demolition
for nearly three decades.
Amazingly, the High Line was not only saved -- but it
also became the greatest reclaimed piece of industry turned into urban park
land on the plant.
Annik La Farge captures the magic of the place in her
book "On the High Line -- Exploring America's Most Original Urban
Park," released in 2012 by Thames and Hudson.
The $29.95 paperback includes more than 400 color
illustrations over 218 pages.
High Line book review continues tomorrow, October 19
