Each map in the book is accompanied by a full description and a short essay offering an insight into its context. A highlight of the book is a series of new maps detailing Boston's growth. It will take place at 7pm in Wong Auditorium. This event is cosponsored with Women's Studies and funded in part by the Council for the Arts, the de Florez Fund for Humor and the LBGT Issues Group. All series events are free, open to the public and wheelchair-accessible.
Books are available for sale at a discount the week of the event.
