What mysteries lie beneath our feet, waiting to be uncovered?

From the publisher

“A straightforward yet fascinating description of the labyrinth beneath the feet of any city dweller. And what a complex covered world David Macaulay reveals! He invents an intersection of two streets and proceeds to show what we all might find if we dared to descend through that Alice-in-Wonderland manhole.” – New York Times Book Review
