What Hacker News says
- Underground, by David Macauley, is a great book about what it's like underground in Manhattan. https://www.amazon.com/Underground-David-Macaulay/dp/0395340...
- Good book, but too NYC-centric for my taste. OTOH, that made everything pretty concrete.
Another great book is "Underground" by David Macaulay. Beautiful, breathtaking drawings.
- Nice image, but if you want to really have fun with a kid dig up the book "Underground" by David Macaulay. It peels back the layers beneath our feet and was a real eye-opener for me when I was younger. Actually grab anything by the same author and have fun...
