“Boston‘s cityscape is a perfect blend of history and modernity. Cobblestone streets lead to towering skyscrapers, while the Charles River reflects the city‘s timeless charm. From the iconic brownstones of Beacon Hill to the futuristic Seaport skyline, every corner tells a story of resilience and innovation. #Boston #Cityscape #HistoryMeetsModern”
pickVery informative book if you love geography and travel
pickThis is another one I listened to then checked out from the library for pics. Sadly, there aren‘t any photos from Newitz‘s trips around the world to these lost cities, but there are some cool artist‘s renderings at the chapter openings.
Fascinating book though. Title delivers what it promises. Incidentally, I live about 4 hours from Cahokia. It‘s amazing that this lost city is essentially in my backyard and I had no idea. Hope to visit soon.
pickI've had this one on my shelf for a long time after hearing about it on the What Should I Read Next podcast and finally got to it when it came up as November's #Bookspin. Really interesting discussion of what makes a city livable, healthy, and desirable. @TheAromaofBooks
Kitchen - crockery - fragile!!! MS: summer clothes. V. manuscripts (Missing Persons). MS: study - stationery. But mainly, the boxes say: IV books - MS books - books.
"Three or four boxes of books, says André, 'is normal. Ten or twelve would be unusual, excessive. But this....it's unreasonable man.
If I'd known we were moving a bladdy *library*...."
pickI will never look at parking the same way again. I think the title is a bit wrong, it should be “Explains North America”.
so-so
