In \u003ci\u003eWalking Tours of Boston's Made Land\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 Boston's past is always just below the surface of its present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach walk is accompanied by a map that shows the route and original shoreline. The walks are illustrated with historical maps, historical photographs and views, and current photographs. All walks are accessible by public transportation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46891567218839,"sku":"9780262693394","price":4524.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780262693394.webp?v=1770274898","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/walking-tours-of-bostons-made-land-9780262693394","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
