(New England studies). - In 1780 New England supported fifty charitable institutions. By 1820 that number had burgeoned to nearly two thousand. The increase, argues Conrad Edick Wright, was part of a frenzy of organization that occurred in New England during the postrevolutionary era. His book is both a case study on the modernization of the United States during the early years of the republic and a detailed account of the numerous endeavors, both popular and elite, to aid, evangelize, and reform those in need. Wright offers a provocative interpretation of this little-known terrain in social aid institutional history. Unlike radical historians who view philanthropy as a form of social control, he demonstrates that the ''charitable revolution'' originated in the widespread aspirations of postrevolutionary New Englanders to imitate the English by establishing benevolent institutions of their own. He argues that the relationship between socioeconomic circumstances and the emergence of institutional beneficence is neither as simple nor as direct as some historians have indicated. Contradicting cause-and-effect interpretations, Wright asserts that organized charity developed at a time when need was constant or diminishing. In fact, he says, charitable institutions sometimes needed to search actively for beneficiaries. Undeterred, they redefined their missions and discovered new charitable causes.

Remaking Boston: an environmental history of the city and its surroundings. Pittsburgh, Pa.: University of Pittsburgh Press, 2009, 1st printing number line ending with 1, vii, 333pp., . "Since its settlement in 1630, Boston, its harbor, and outlying regions have undergone monumental transformations through natural forces and by the hands of humans. Remaking Boston chronicles many of the events that altered the physical landscape of Boston while also offering multidisciplinary perspectives on the environmental history of one of America's oldest and largest metropolitan areas." "Profiling this ever-changing environment, the contributors examine Boston from its early glacial formation to the present, outlining the physical characteristics and composition of the land and harbor, and the significant environmental impact of human occupation. Individual chapters address population movements, land use, infrastructure development, historic climate changes, biological adaptations, and reclamation projects, among other topics." "Remaking Boston presents a fascinating and comprehensive analysis of the many processes that shaped this city and its surroundings. It also offers valuable lessons for the study of metropolitan environments and the efforts being made to improve and preserve them for future generations." - CONTENTS: Introduction : Boston from peninsula to metropolis / Anthony N.
