Presenting an account—both anecdotal and scientifically minded—of the fauna and insect-life that thrives there, the book serves as a colorful introduction to the vast and varied ecology of the High Line. Full of peculiar observations, rumors, speculations, and mostly-true facts, Field Guide captures the manifold experience of moving along the elevated greenway through a towering cityscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEditor Ethan Hauser and art historian Kenneth Helphand have offered essay contributions that consider the historical significance of the structure and place it within a broader trajectory of urban design through precedents of “an elevated plain”. The project is designed by New Yorker-illustrator Jorge Colombo and includes several of his own digital artworks that are finger painted on an iPhone. Illustrations of High Line wildlife are by Bryan Wilson. This re-edition of Field Guide includes a new cover colorway, updates the High Line’s 87-year timeline (bringing us to present), as well as an expanded map from Naomi \u0026amp; Emmy Reis to include the newest section of the High Line extending north of West 30th street.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the updated 2nd edition, co-published with Printed Matter, Inc.,\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe world’s leading non-profit organization dedicated to the dissemination, understanding and appreciation of artists’ books.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printed Matter, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48562714345695,"sku":"BOOK-VIN-BOO-MUL-OS-PMI-186","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/7492\/7583\/files\/high-line-field-guide.png?v=1772578291","url":"https:\/\/shop.thehighline.org\/products\/the-high-line-a-field-guide-and-handbook","provider":"High Line Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
