Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. "Before New York was the Big Apple, it could have been called the Big Oyster. When Peter Minuit bought Manhattan for $24 in 1626--the first New York real estate killing--he showed his shrewdness by also buying the oyster beds off nearby Ellis Island. New York became a city famous for its oysters--until centuries of pollution finally destroyed the beds in the early 1920s. The story of the New York oyster is the story of the city and its place in the world, and the story of centuries of culinary evolution in a city that has always been a gastronomic trend setter." [publisher copy] "In his portrait of the once-famous oyster beds of New York Harbor, Kurlansky beautifully illustrates food's ability to connect us deeply to our particular place in the world, and shows how our nourishment is so vitally tied to the health of the natural world."--Alice Waters. "Mark Kurlansky, author of Salt and Cod, has done it again. THE BIG OYSTER is a zesty love song to a bivalve and a city--intelligent, informative, and impossible to put down."--Nathaniel Philbrick. Pristine ARC w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued. [Pittsfield, MA, U.S.A.] [Publication Year: 2006]
