very good dust-jacket, very good blue cloth, boards are very slightly warped, book appears essentially unused. PENNA, ANTHONY N. / WRIGHT, CONRAD EDICK, ed. . Remaking Boston: an environmental history of the city and its surroundings. Pittsburgh, Pa.: University of Pittsburgh Press, 2009, 1st printing number line ending with 1, vii, 333pp., . "Since its settlement in 1630, Boston, its harbor, and outlying regions have undergone monumental transformations through natural forces and by the hands of humans. Remaking Boston chronicles many of the events that altered the physical landscape of Boston while also offering multidisciplinary perspectives on the environmental history of one of America's oldest and largest metropolitan areas." "Profiling this ever-changing environment, the contributors examine Boston from its early glacial formation to the present, outlining the physical characteristics and composition of the land and harbor, and the significant environmental impact of human occupation. Individual chapters address population movements, land use, infrastructure development, historic climate changes, biological adaptations, and reclamation projects, among other topics." "Remaking Boston presents a fascinating and comprehensive analysis of the many processes that shaped this city and its surroundings. It also offers valuable lessons for the study of metropolitan environments and the efforts being made to improve and preserve them for future generations." - CONTENTS: Introduction : Boston from peninsula to metropolis / Anthony N.
