Sloop, by Daniel Robb (Simon and Schuster, 2008), is the story of one young man’s restoration of a wooden sailboat, long in his family. In reading Sloop we come to know not only the boat and its craftsmanship, but also the values of three generations of a family that believes in the importance of place and the virtues of simplicity.

Nancy Rubin Stuart brings the first female playwright and historian of the American Revolution to life and relevance in this full biography of Mercy Otis Warren (Beacon Press, 2008). The Muse of the Revolution, the Secret Pen of Mercy Otis Warren and the Founding of a Nation portrays Colonial life in America while revealing surprising facts about the sister of Patriot James Otis, discovered through Stuart’s thorough research. “No one has ever captured the spirit of the woman better than Stuart,” according to Dr. William Fowler, Distinguished Professor of History at Northeastern University and former director of the Massachusetts Historical Society.

In The Paradise of All These Parts, A Natural History of Boston, (Beacon Press, 2008) author John Hanson Mitchell closely examines Boston’s natural  and social  history of the city in the same manner he previously applied to his research on Scratch Flat, a small tract of land 35 miles northwest of the city. This is a readable, compelling story of the interaction of natural and social history.
