What is Blockology : an offbeat walking guide to lower Manhattan about?
<p><i>blockology</i> Is For Those Who Love Exploring City Blocks To Make Personal Discoveries. With The Help Of Easy-to-read Maps, Wander Through The Many Neighborhoods Of Lower Manhattan As You Make Your Way To My Own Selection Of 36 Intriguing Blocks. Each Featured Block Comes With A Detailed Map, Descriptive Text, And A Full-page Illustration (a Scavenger Hunt Of Images). In Addition, I've Chosen Plenty Of Can't-miss Blocks Which Have Been Highlighted On The Maps For Your Investigation Along The Way. So Pick And Chosse And Return Again, Unitl You Experience All Of Lower Manhattan For Yourself. For The Record, It Took Me 52 Days And Some 300 Miles, Moving As Deliberately As Possible, To Walk Every Block Below 14th Street. <p> Each Featured Illustration Is Created From A Selection Of My Own Photgraphs Taken On That Very Street. The Illustrations Are Intended To Be An Expressive Archive Of Those Selected Blocks. Remember, All Blocks In Lower Manhattan Are Transforming In Some Way, As Renovation And Development Never Cease. An When You Add The Constant Turnover Of Restaurants And Shops, The Block You Walk Today Will Certainly Be Different When You Return Even A Few Seasons Later. <p
