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 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.The Paradise of All These Parts offers a unique 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.
