This short story book is divided into two parts: the first and longer part of which is about growing up in the baby-boomer generation and coming of age in the City of Boston; whilst the second part is about the city itself-its history, character, personality and nuances. Other than this division-chronological sequence is only incidental so the story reading can be done without having to be overly concerned with paying attention to special sequence as each story while related to the theme has its own stand alone merit while at the same time still being part of a compilation. Each tale is a slice of the pie, or rather a sliver of the pie of the city to get a feel for it and that is what this book is all about- a nostalgic reminiscent short story book of tales set in the City of Boston, as well as in the second part- a guide for the newcomer as to what to expect in a city of which so much has been written it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction. Boston- the untold story: What is the city all about? What was it like coming of age in the Boston baby-boomer generation? What is a Bostonian? What makes a Bostonian tick? Baraska tackles these questions head on as well as a myriad of others as a lifelong resident Bostonian and takes you inside Americas oldest and most historical walking city. With his hands on the pulse of the city at a major metropolitan newspaper, Baraska takes you inside this hub city to fill in the blanks as he unveils the nuances of this- the Capital Bay City of New England, and whilst the many guides on Boston do a fine job, Baraska states, they may not tell you when the red light turns green-GO immediately before the horns start to blow or how to really get the the bargains at Filenes Basement. What NOT to ask a Bostonian: Baraska advises, as well as what a resident does like to commiserate about. How NOT to act in Boston to avoid native disapprobation; What NEVER to do in Boston if you dont want to end up like General George Armstrong Custer; where to sit at Fenway Park and who sells the best hot dogs. From coming of age in a scholarly city to looking at a New Yorkers view of Beantown, Baraska not only raises the questions but gives the answer unabashedly, e.g. When queried about why the Pilgrims came here in the first place and landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620- Baraska counterpunches with his own query, that the Pilgrims first destination was Holland before coming here- couldnt they get along there either he muses? And was it not these same Puritans who came here for a purer Anglican religion (hence the name) and religious freedom who publicly executed Mary Dyer on the Boston Common because she was of the different Quaker religion? As for the Boston Tea Party, Baraska, not incidentally, suggests the 342 crates of British Tea dumped into Boston Harbor on the evening of December 16, 1773 may have been driven more by economic concerns than patriotism since the imported British product was underselling the tea produced in the Colonies. And certainly blaming it on the Indians was less than a noble deed for the defiant colonists. Ben Franklin, in any case, Baraska points out, wasnt impressed and offered to assuage the enraged British Crown by paying them back for the cost of the tea dumped into the harbor. And whilst Baraska praises the brilliant copper and silversmith he was (his copper was used in the making of the State House Dome) he does raise the specter of possibility that Paul Reveres famous ride on that fateful evening of April 18, 1775 may have been driven in part as a desire for a break in the baby-sitting of his 16 children (as well as by Colonial Militia patriotic concerns).

Only fifteen women have won the Nobel Prize for Peace since it was first awarded in 1901. In this compelling book, Judith Stiehm narrates these women’s varied lives in fascinating detail. The second edition includes the stories of three additional outstanding women—Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee, and Tawakkol Karman—who were honored in 2011. Engaged and inspiring, all these women clearly demonstrate that there is something each of us can do to advance a just, positive peace. Whether they began by insisting on garbage collection or simply by planting a tree, each shared a common vision and commitment undiminished by obstacles and opposition. As Judith Stiehm convincingly shows, all are truly "champions for peace."

The First World War was an epic event of huge proportions that lasted over four years and involved the armies of more than twenty nations, resulting in 30 million casualties, including more than 8 million killed. Set against the backdrop of this massive carnage, The Search for Negotiated Peace is the gripping story of the events that moved high profile American and European citizens, particularly women, into the international peace movement. This small, transatlantic network put forth proposals for changing the international system of negotiation. They supported non-annexationist war aims and attempted to discredit nations’ secret diplomacy, militarism and narrowly nationalistic practices. Instead, they wanted to develop a ‘new diplomacy.’ David Patterson skillfully develops the interactions of many of the notable leaders of the movement, including Jane Addams, Aletta Jacobs, and Rosika Schwimmer, into an absorbing narrative that brings together the various strands of women's history, international diplomatic history, and peace history for the first time. The Search for Negotiated Peace is an essential read for anyone interested in the social history of World War I and the foundations of citizen activism today.

When it comes to the Boston Irish, names such as Bulger and Curley have long shaped the local turf. But most people are probably unaware of some of the most amazing and forgotten Irish men and women who helped mold this city. There was Patrick Gilmore, America's first famed bandleader. Louis Sullivan was the "Father of the Skyscraper." Other colorful characters included Patsy Donovan, the man who discovered Babe Ruth, and Ann "Goody" Glover, whose horrifying ordeal launched the Salem Witch Trials. Although each played a noteworthy role in his or her era, all have been unjustly forgotten. Local author Peter Stevens uncovers the missing pieces of the Irish experience in Boston.
