This guidebook combines the interests and enthusiasms of two of the world's best know information providers: Insight Guides, whose titles have set the standard for visual travel guides since 1970, and Discovery Channel the world's premier source of nonfiction television programming.
Insight Guides provide both practical advice and a broad understanding of a destination's history, culture, institutions and people. Discovery Channel and its Web site, www.discovery.com., help millions of viewers explore their world from the comfort of their own homes while also encouraging them to explore it first hand.
This fully revised and updated edition of Insight Guide: New York State is carefully structured to convey an understanding of New York's many varied regions as well as to guide readers through its sights and activities. Photographs are chosen not only to illustrate the major attractions of the state, but also to present a vivid portrait of New York's many faces and seasonal mood swings.
