This from the New York Times’ City section:

A book about Brooklyn published by the Wilderness Press? Turns out it’s a wonderful idea. Adrienne Onofri’s “Walking Brooklyn: 30 Tours Exploring Historical Legacies, Neighborhood Culture, Side Streets, and Waterways” ($17.95) is a charming, practical and informative guide to seeing the familiar and undiscovered features of the borough on foot.

Ms.
Onofri was three blocks from the World Trade Center on 9/11, and her
book represents the culmination of a personal quest. “I have wanted to
do something to express my affection for New York and my pride in its
recovery,” she writes. “Writing a book that encourages people to
explore and appreciate the city turned out to be that thing.”
