Boston: A Topographical History, Second Enlarged… door Walter Muir Whitehill
fascinating history of Boston.
Interesting collection of images of Boston's changed cityscape, including the development of Copley Square, the great fire of 1872 and the comings and goings of the city's places of worship.
Combined with Kevin Lynch's Image of the City this book gives a good introduction to Boston's development which was literally raised out of the water.

The book is written for a local public intimately familiar with Boston (and its important families) which is sometimes perplexing for an outsider unable to see for himself. Fortunately, Google Earth comes to help. Nevertheless, a survey map highlighting the different stages might have been helpful.… (meer)
A basic text for anyone interested in the public library movement in the United States. The BPL was the first municipally funded library in the U.S., and it has grown to house the third largest collection in the U.S., after the Library of Congress and Harvard.
