Quatrocentos anos após a descoberta do porto de Nova York pelo explorador inglês Henry Hudson, Eric Sanderson explica como ele criou um mapa tridimensional de Mannahatta -- detalhado até o nível dos quarteirões -- com sua fascinante ecologia de morros, rios e fauna antes da criação da cidade, quando a Times Square era um banhado e não havia serviço de entregas.
