Подзаголовок: 40 feats of innovation and invention that happened first in boston and helped make america great
Рейтинг:
Поставляется из: США
Описание: Boston Firsts is about everything (well, almost ) that happened first in Boston and changed life elsewhere: from the first lighthouse and public library to the first madam and ready-made suit. Boston-based journalist and essayist Lynda Morgenroth has written forty original essays on the citys long history of innovation, from the colonial era to the recent past. These lively takes on Bostons innovative history range from the first use of ether in publicly performed painless surgery to the first school desegregation court case to the one-and only-automatic bargain basement.
Consider this: Ice cut from Boston ponds and shipped to hot climates became a worldwide industry. A controversial kidney transplant between twin brothers marked the start of organ transplantation. Attempts to breed a belligerent fighting dog created the sweet-natured Boston terrier, the first dog breed developed in the U.S. The glorious Massachusetts 54th Regiment, led by a Boston Brahmin, was the first black army regiment in U.S history. First newspaper, novel, subway, telephone, gay marriage- the beat goes on.
Ranging from advances in science and engineering-like the smallpox inoculation and the Boston Harbor cleanup-to innovations in culture and society- Fannie Farmers cookbook, the YMCA, and Boston cream pie-the collection investigates, celebrates, and integrates Americas workshop of ideas.
