Building a New Boston
by Thomas H. O'Connor
Between 1950 and 1970, an unusual alliance of government and business interacting with neighborhood groups created impressive physical revitalization in Boston. A city characterized at the end of World War II by a rich history, an undistinguished skyline, urban decay, and no discernible plan for its future, Boston by the end of the 1970s featured a striking silhouette of old and new buildings symbolizing changes that transformed the city into one of America's five most vital and attractive urban centers. But the rejuvenation also produced unintended, frequently contradictory, and sometimes tragic consequences. The multicultural West End was destroyed and many of its residents were displaced. The attraction of new capital, new business, and tourists to the revitalized city wrought damaging social and economic vibrations that continue to this day. This book provides the first comprehensive political history of Boston's renewal and its aftermath. It is a tale principally of the determination of two mayors, John B. Hynes and John F. Collins, and those inside government and the business community who worked with them. It is also the story of community resistance, particularly in the immigrant West End and the predominantly black South End, by those who perceived the original plans as harmful to their communities.

Connecticut Historical Collections
by John Warner Barber
John Warner Barber, an amateur historian, engraver, and printer, traveled around Connecticut sketching town greens, hotels, schools, churches, and harbors. He also collected local history and immersed himself in the works of such noted historians as Dr. Trumbull. From these labors he produced Connecticut Historical Collections, a book of fine wood engravings and lively history. In its first year, 1837, it sold 7000 copies. Reissued later, it again sold well. Today, though his wood engravings are well known, few copies of the book remain. Antique dealers unfortunately do a brisk business selling the woodcuts from volumes they have "broken." Now readers can again enjoy Barber's beautiful engravings as well as his delightfully entertaining history of the towns then in existence.
