Reviews

[Holton and Newman] present a fascinating account of the politicking, planning, and engineering involved in filling and developing the former tidal marsh that was Boston's Back Bay...Their original and broadly informing book should please all readers interested in history of technology and urbanization. --Technology and Culture
