Walking Tours of Boston's Made Land
ISBN: 9780262693394 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) At its founding, Boston was a small peninsula; over the last 375 years the city has doubled in size by filling in the surrounding tidal flats -- areas covered with water at high tide and exposed at low. In Walking Tours of Boston's Made Land, historian Nancy Seasholes outlines twelve walks that trace where and why Boston's man-made land was created, and, along the way, uncovers fascinating and little-known pieces of Boston history. In the course of these walks -- around the central waterfront, Back Bay, Beacon Hill, the South End, Charlestown, and elsewhere -- she shows us how...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Cape Cod's vast outer coast, named The Great Beach by Henry David Thoreau, is little changed since the Pilgrim's first landfall almost 350 years ago. Today a plane can skim its fifty miles in a matter of seconds, and in the summer bathing areas are so crowded with cars and people they take on a continental flavor. But the long, desolate, windswept stretches can still be found, and the National Park Service has been taking steps to preserve the original character of the beach and its rolling dunes back from the water, designating it a National Seashore.
