Explore how a great state was shaped by earth, air, and time—and what that means for today.
This practical, readable guide shows how natural forces carved the landscape, created rich soils, and gave New York its wealth in agriculture, industry, and trade.
From the making of mountains to the flow of rivers, the book explains the slow work of nature that gives the state its varied scenery and resources. It also looks at how climate and atmosphere interact with the land, and how these forces tie into the state’s history, economy, and people.
