New England

More about the book

New England is more than the six states that comprise it geographically. For many Americans, it represents the source of our nation's intellectual, spiritual, and political heritage. Although many parts of the United States were settled earlier than New England, somehow they do not have the same hold on our imagination.Everything that the magic name of New England conjures up is here to enjoy in this beautiful book. Its pages invite you to travel the region's back roads and broad ways, to savor its changes of scenery and season, and to see what the states embody independently and collectively.From Connecticut to Maine, from Massachusetts and Rhode Island to New Hampshire and Vermont, here are the white-spired churches, covered bridges, and serene village greens; its varied mountains, rocky shores, and tranquil lakes; its classic domestic architecture and ivied colleges; its many historic sites where patriots pursued the dream of independence.An evocative and informative book, with more than 100 photographs by the world's best photographers, New England is the next best thing to being there.
