This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geology and Early History of the Boston Area of Massachusetts: A Bicentennial Approach The softest Boston rocks are argillite (related to slate and shale but harder) and volcanic ash. The argillite was originally de posited as clay in either a lake or marine embayment; the volcanic ash was blown out Of the many volcanoes that were active in the area during the time the clay or mud was being deposited. Gravel was interlayered with the clay and cemented into a hard rock called conglomerate, locally called puddingstone. This rock crops out widely in Roxbury, Dorchester, and Brookline. Also interlayered with these sediments were volcanic flows, ashes, cin ders, and the great variety of deposits formed by volcanoes. These deposits - now hard rock - are best seen in nearby Mattapan, Hyde Park, Milton, Lynn, and Saugus. Hundreds of millions of years have elapsed Since these deposits were laid down, and the ash and mud not only has been com pressed, cemented, and solidified into rock, it has also been deeply buried by later deposits and drawn deeper into the Earth's interior, where it was squeezed, folded, broken, and turned up on end. Today, these badly distorted rocks are at the surface again only because of the erosion Of the many thousands of feet of rock that once overlay them. What was the ancient landscape like at the time the Boston rocks were being laid down? In all probability, the region was a broad lowland surrounded by hills or mountains of granite. A large body of water, either a large lake or perhaps an arm of the sea, occupied part of the lowland. Small volcanoes and at least one large conethat rose a mile or more in height dotted the plain and surround ing uplands. The ash from these volcanoes blanketed the plain and was carried by the rivers to the lake or sea where it mixed with silt and clay that was being carried by rivers from the upland. The rivers descending onto the plain from the surrounding high lands also carried gravel, which was deposited in flood plains and which makes up much of the Roxbury puddingstone. This landscape of remote Paleozoic time can be matched with landscapes existing today. One can see similarities in the Puget Sound lowland and the nearby Cascades in the State of Washing ton; the Sacramento Valley, with Marysville Buttes and Mounts Shasta and Lassen in the distance; the Imperial Valley, at the head of the Gulf of California depression, where volcanic centers existed until very recent time; the PO River Plain in northern Italy, where a volcanic center existed not long ago near Rimini; and many of the great rift valleys of Africa that contain deep lakes and nearby active volcanoes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few American cities possess a history as long, rich, and fascinating as Boston’s. A site of momentous national political events from the Revolutionary War through the civil rights movement, Boston has also been an influential literary and cultural capital. From ancient glaciers to landmaking schemes and modern infrastructure projects, the city’s terrain has been transformed almost constantly over the centuries. The Atlas of Boston History traces the city’s history and geography from the last ice age to the present with beautifully rendered maps. Edited by historian Nancy S. Seasholes, this landmark volume captures all aspects of Boston’s past in a series of fifty-seven stunning full-color spreads. Each section features newly created thematic maps that focus on moments and topics in that history. These maps are accompanied by hundreds of historical and contemporary illustrations and explanatory text from historians and other expert contributors. They illuminate a wide range of topics including Boston’s physical and economic development, changing demography, and social and cultural life. In lavishly produced detail, The Atlas of Boston History offers a vivid, refreshing perspective on the development of this iconic American city. Contributors Robert J.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geology of the Boston Area, Massachusetts The area herein described, which lies between parallels 42° 15' and 42° 30' and extends westward from the shore of Massachusetts Bay to meridian 71° comprises the Boston and Boston Bay quadrangles and has a land area, including marshes and islands, of 240 square miles. It is situated in eastern Massachusetts (see fig. 1) and includes nearly all of Suffolk County and parts of Middlesex, Essex, Norfolk, and Plymouth Counties. The city of Boston occupies the south-central part of the area. In this bulletin, for convenience, the two quadrangles will be designated by the term Boston area. This is not the same as the Boston district, which comprises the Boston Basin and the adjacent territory in which the geology is closely related, so that it forms a sort of unit having distinctive geologic characters that differ in some respects from those of the surrounding areas. The limits of the Boston district are not well defined, but it extends several miles outside the Boston area on the north, southwest, and south and includes about twice as much territory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its settlement in 1630, Boston, its harbor, and outlying regions have witnessed a monumental transformation at the hands of humans and by nature. Remaking Boston chronicles many of the events that altered the physical landscape of Boston, while also offering multidisciplinary perspectives on the environmental history of one of America's oldest and largest metropolitan areas. Situated on an isthmus, and blessed with a natural deepwater harbor and ocean access, Boston became an important early trade hub with Europe and the world. As its population and economy grew, developers extended the city's shoreline into the surrounding tidal mudflats to create more useable land. Further expansion of the city was achieved through the annexation of surrounding communities, and the burgeoning population and economy spread to outlying areas. The interconnection of city and suburb opened the floodgates to increased commerce, services and workforces, while also leaving a wake of roads, rails, bridges, buildings, deforestation, and pollution. Profiling this ever-changing environment, the contributors tackle a variety of topics, including: the glacial formation of the region; physical characteristics and composition of the land and harbor; dredging, sea walling, flattening, and landfill operations in the reshaping of the Shawmut Peninsula; the longstanding controversy over the link between landfills and shoaling in shipping channels; population movements between the city and suburbs and their environmental implications; interdependence of the city and its suburbs; preservation and reclamation of the Charles River; suburban deforestation and later reforestation as byproducts of changing land use; the planned outlay of parks and parkways; and historic climate changes and the human and biological adaptations to them.
