Hudson Valley Voyage ... and Calendar

This book of photographs (the Calendar is a bonus) compliments an earlier "coffee table" book "New York's Hudson, America's Valley". While there is some duplication in format and specific pictures the reduced price and excellent content make this a worthwhile purchase. I believe that "most of the World" associates the Hudson with New York City and doesn't appreciate what a rural, unique and historic area it is. This from a resident (25 years) of the mid Hudson Valley. Thanks.

The Hudson River Valley has been a major part of American life for more than four centuries.

Beautiful and Historic, the Hudson River Valley has been a major part of American life for more than four centuries. "Hudson Valley Voyage: Through the Seasons, Through the Years" is a gorgeous collection of one hundred and fifty full color photographs and more than thirty scholarly and educational essays. The scenery of the river and the importance come to light within, and will give readers a love for this body of water. Enhanced with maps, timelines, tourism information and much more, "Hudson Valley Voyage" is highly recommended to any community library photography collection focusing on natural wonders.
