Tonight we speak with award-winning author and editor JOHN HANSON MITCHELL about the natural history of Beantown. From the Pleistocene glaciers and the coming of the Paleo-Indians to the creation of the Emerald Necklace, the dark days of the “New Boston” and finally the re-greening of the city, Mitchell has written a complex but thoroughly enjoyable account of the green spaces of this grand city. Mitchell’s book is titled THE PARADISE OF ALL THESE PARTS: A NATURAL HISTORY OF BOSTON.
