Description: The New York borough of Staten Island is better known for its ferry ride and views of the Manhattan skyline than for itself. This readable, engrossing guide is devoted entirely to discovering the island. Lovingly researched and packed with stories past and present, it unlocks the secrets of a fascinating place and of the men and women who made it what it is, many of them pioneers in their fields. It will appeal to residents and visitors alike.
