Photographer Heinl presents Portland, Oregon from an aerial perspective that reveals the city as a model of civil engineering and livability. The color images show how landscape dictates function in a city that has placed a premium on preserving history and the environment in vibrant and progressive ways. Author Sallie Tisdale complements the photographs with an essay describing Portland's contradictions, charms, faults, and promise for the future. This is the first book in the Bird's Eye View Series.
