Now he has \u003ci\u003ere-walked\u003c\/i\u003e Brooklyn—some 816 miles—to write this one-of-a-kind walking guide to the city's hottest borough. Drawing on hundreds of conversations he had with residents during his block-by-block journeys, \u003ci\u003eThe Brooklyn Nobody Knows\u003c\/i\u003e captures the heart and soul of a diverse, booming, and constantly changing borough that defines cool around the world. The guide covers every one of Brooklyn’s forty-four neighborhoods, from Greenpoint to Coney Island, providing a colorful portrait of each section’s most interesting, unusual, and unknown people, places, and things. Along the way you will learn about a Greenpoint park devoted to plants and trees that produce materials used in industry; a hornsmith who practices his craft in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens; a collection of 1,140 stuffed animals hanging from a tree in Bergen Beach; a five-story Brownsville mural that depicts Zionist leader Theodor Herzl—and that was the brainchild of black teenagers; Brooklyn’s most private—yet public—beach in Manhattan Beach; and much, much more. An unforgettably vivid chronicle of today’s Brooklyn, the book can also be enjoyed without ever leaving home—but it’s almost guaranteed to inspire you to get out and explore one of the most fascinating urban areas anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers every one of Brooklyn’s 44 neighborhoods, providing a colorful portrait of their most interesting, unusual, and unknown people, places, and things\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach neighborhood section features a brief overview and history; a detailed, user-friendly map keyed to the text; and a lively guided walking tour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDraws on the author’s 816-mile walk through every Brooklyn neighborhood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes insights from conversations with hundreds of residents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47046403883248,"sku":"9780691166827","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780691166827_p0.jpg?v=1763610256","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780691166827","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
