400 ans après la fondation du port de New York par Hudson, Eric Sanderson nous montre comment il a créé une carte en 3D de l'écologie des collines, des rivières et de la faune pré-urbaines de Manahatta (carte précise à la rue près), quand Times Square était un marécage et que les livraisons n'arrivaient jamais.

Armed with an 18th-century map, a GPS and reams of data, Eric Sanderson has re-plotted the Manhattan of 1609, just in time for New York's quadricentennial. Full bio »
