Product Information

Through observations of modern-day Boston, a veteran nature writer recounts the city's natural past, from volcanic eruptions to reclaimed parks How much does the current landscape of Boston, Massachusetts, resemble the land mass known as the Shawmut Peninsula, where it was conceived and built hundreds of years ago--a place that Captain John Smith referred to in 1614 as the Paradise of all these parts? John Hanson Mitchell, author of the classic Ceremonial Time and many other books, takes readers along as he investigates Boston's natural past. He explores a variety of habitats as he ranges outward from the core of the peninsula where the Puritans first settled to the ancient rim of the Boston Basin, within which the modern city now lies. Mitchell leaves no stone unturned--literally. He delves into Boston's deep glacial origins and the more recent manipulations of land and water to create new neighborhoods and roads. But Mitchell focuses most on the generally unnoticed and yet surprisingly diverse variety of plants and animals that still thrive in this curiously anomalous city. The Paradise of All These Parts offers a one-of-a-kind perspective on one of America's most historic cities. It combines natural history that never fails to entertain and inform with beautiful language and a wealth of fascinating facts about the natural and not-so-natural world of Boston.

Reviews
A surprising and gracefully written exploration of Boston's true nature. If you love this city, you will love this book.Eric Jay Dolin, author of Leviathan: The History of Whaling in America "Hands-on and eloquent - a lover's rhapsody."Edward Hoagland "Like Vladimir Nabokov, John Hanson Mitchell is a writer with an eye for nature's curious details, rather than a naturalist who practices writing. His new natural history of Boston is actually more a history of naturalists, explorers, conservationists and others at play on nature's grand stage with lots of juicy subplots and a large cast of engaging eccentrics. Irresistible."Christopher W. Leahy, chair of the Massachusetts Audubon Society and author of The Birdwatcher's Companion to North American Birdlife "John Hanson Mitchell tells the story of how geology, nature, natives and new arrivals have continually made and remade the place we call Boston. His amiable tale rambles easily from rocks to rivers to red light districts, interweaving natural and human history in a way that's quietly but deeply meaningful."Ginger Strand, author of Inventing Niagara: Beauty, Power, and Lies "Like Thoreau, Mitchell has a genius for sauntering, and I can't imagine a better rambling companion. "David Gessner, author of Soaring with Fidel: An Osprey Odyssey from Cape Cod to Cuba and Beyond "A wonderful piece of work: lively, thought-provoking and totally absorbing. The city of Boston has been chopped to pieces, riddled with tunnels, and surrounded by fill, but as Mitchell reveals in The Paradise of All These Parts , it is still a place of wonder."Nathaniel Philbrick, author of Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, and War, "[H]e is a smart guy, walking around, paying attention. I'd name his genre nostalgic realism; Mitchell certainly knows where this city and its many peculiar institutions come from, and he understands modernity as well. ...[T]his book will take its place next to Walter Muir Whitehill's 'Boston,' with engravings by Rudolph Ruzicka, as one of the treasured Hub tomes of our time." Boston Globe "...this may well be the finest book about the town as a place, highly personal and at the same time keenly descriptive." Boston Globe, [H]e is a smart guy, walking around, paying attention. I'd name his genre nostalgic realism; Mitchell certainly knows where this city and its many peculiar institutions come from, and he understands modernity as well. ...[T]his book will take its place next to Walter Muir Whitehill's 'Boston,' with engravings by Rudolph Ruzicka, as one of the treasured Hub tomes of our time.
