About
The history of Long Island is as rich and fascinating as that of America itself. This popular account has been updated with a new chapter devoted to the tumultuous and eventful postwar years. Long Island: People and Places, Past and Present reconstructs events through the words of the people who experienced them and presents life through the eyes of those who lived it. Former Newsday reporter and editor Bernie Bookbinder covers the crucial episodes that shaped Long Island, from its glacial origins to the present day, when it has become a bellweather of trends for the rest of the nation, and from Brooklyn Heights to Montauk Point.
