Religion & Ecology continues to try to be a tributary of Minetta Creek!
Today we looked at these images from Eric W Sanderson's 2009 Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City, a book mainly dedicated to reimagining New York in 1609. But near the end (pp 240-41) he imagines a little fancifully how New York might look in another 400 years. Minetta Creek is back! But looking at this book merely a decade old today, one is struck also by what now seems a naive assumption that the shapes of islands wouldn't change; the certainty of sea level change wasn't yet common knowledge, I guess!
